Proelium Venatus
Found in basements and dark room around Edinburgh You might just find the
rare TableTop War gamer. Here, what you will find are Proelium Venatus (Better
known as “War Gamers” or just “Gamers”) moving miniatures army units and rolling small shapes with markings as if to dictate what they can and can’t do. They
seem to be attached to what happens to the small figures as to sometimes give
them personality and give them meaning above what they are on the surface.
On top of this, they seem to keep track of what they have done as if they are
remaking a history based on the almost random actions that the rolling shapes
dictate. One of the “Gamers” even goes as far to claim that he is “Fighting for
Mother Russia” or is “Fighting for the Home Land”. This makes me think that they
might just fight each other if one side does not get the expected outcome. But
by the end of their game they shake hands and let another member from their
group take a position on the new recreated battlefield. This system they have
seems to continues for an extended amount of time. It makes it seem like they
are creating an endless war, or a war to end all wars
