Ah, we call that the SCA
I'd imagine there are plenty of similar or identical things with different names, I also assume it's heavily tied with reenactment and stuff like that

I collect vintage box games. Avalon Hills and the like.
I enjoy playing them as well
A few favorites would be Rail Baron, Dawn Patrol, some of the vintage card games are outstanding too. Invalid Link Removed by Flying Buffalo Games is silly good fun as is Mille Borne.
Goodness, Avalon Hill games! Haven't thought of those in years. Didn't they have a stock market game?
Yes indeed. Several in fact. I enjoy Bulls and Bears. I own that as well
I can't remember the name of the one we had when we were kids but we played the heck out of it.
We weren't very much into war games but they had one we played as well but I have no idea what it was. I'll have to hit my older brother up as I am sure he will remember...
I have been told I have too many hobbies. Aviation, boating and two seat sports cars. Up til about 10 years ago, a life time of surfing too. Oh yeah...got to add playing bass in bands to the mix also.

Something that I've accidentally fallen into, apparently, is amassing single socks in my sock drawer. Sure, I have pairs, but there's an ever-growing pile on the right hand side of the drawer of single socks without a match.
I got into a larp event once for free because I had four gallons of homemade mead. I didn't want any money, I just hung around and pretended to be a shopkeeper (selling stuff that wasn't mead), and shared with people I knew at night.

Was advanced squad leader by Avalon Hill? I don't even remember.
I have the other ones. You don't want to know how.
Yes. I had to look that one up. Several of the war board games changed hands a few times. I have a lot of them like Panzer Blitz ( A fantastic game ) and Battle of the Bulge but it can get really strange with manufacturers and what is considered "collectable". A lot of fakes out there too.
Fast cars, fast women and hard liquor...
I've tried all these. Only the liquor was worth it.

HO Scale trains, common enough but my area of interest is quite specific, central Utah in the mid 1970s. Everything I own (over 500 cars and locomotives) is appropriate for that. I often scratchbuild or modify existing models so they're period correct and always weather them so they look like real trains, not models.
I also collect glass telephone pole insulators, but don't have near as my of them as the trains.
Here's a model.

@TBird1958 , this is completely off-topic, but I've just been watching some of your Nasty Habits videos. You guys are brilliant!
I have always enjoyed your train photos and appreciate the skill required to weather them so realistically. As I said before, you could have made a good living making miniatures for the Hollywood special EFX movies. I use to do a lot of Blue Screen work with miniatures in my earlier days and am use to seeing well build models. Your work is up there with the pro's.
