It is once again time to fill out the Wargames Soldiers & Strategies Survey! There are some nice raffle prizes for participants this year. Of course the best part is having more representative survey results!

Apart from rolling dice, there seem to be few things miniature wargamers like to do better than discuss the state of their hobby. The purpose of this survey is to answer some of the questions that regularly come up in such debates. As last year, the results will be published on our blog and in an upcoming issue of Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy.

At the end of this survey, you'll have the chance to enter your email address into a raffle for some very nice prizes. The full list is quite long and includes a Gates of Antares Starter set, the Great War game by the Plastic Soldier company, various boxed sets, books and three two-year subscriptions to either Ancient Warfare, Medieval Warfare or Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy! Moreover, as a thank-you for taking part in this survey, everyone will get a discount coupon for use on the Karwansaray Publishers website, which can be used to purchase any of our books and magazines.

Please note that this survey is entirely anonymous, unless you choose to provide your email address for the raffle. If you do, this will only ever be used to contact you if you win.

Finally, filling out the entire survey shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes, and we're taking responses until August 8th, 2015.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

**Kilkrazy**

I was not able to give proper answers to 16 or 17. For instance I simply don't rank my preferred game size. I like them all equally.

**Flashman**

Done.

I gave Dakka Dakka a 5

**NAVARRO**

Done! Nice survey.

Thank you citizen!

**Sinful Hero**

Finished the survey as well- quite interesting. I always enjoy submitting my opinions on these kinds of things.

Spoiler:

**NAVARRO**

Hey wasn't to score the forum you liked the most by order of preference? I gave it 1!

Joking

**Pacific**

Done !

Can't believe this has come around again already..

Will be interesting to see how the results turn out.

**Coldhatred**

Done as well. Always interesting to see how these kinds of surveys go.

**agnosto**

Completed.

**Tannhauser42**

Just finished it. I gave Dakka a 1 because I hate you all.

Just kidding, gave Dakka a 5.

**BobtheInquisitor**

One of the first questions asked me to rank various parts of the hobby, including painting and background reading, yet they left out modelling or converting. It's hard to answer questions they don't ask.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Same. Done. Did my part of Mods and Forum.

**BrookM**

Did my part, now please tell me my loved ones are still alive and well!

**Kosake**

Done and done. Would be nice to win something for once.

**Talarn Blackshard**

Completed!

**sing your life**

Completed, annoying that there is no extra information option for the favourite size play since I play Bolt Action as a company level game instead of a platoon level game that hey and WG mistakenly described it as.

**Easy E**

Complete.

Where's my certificate?

**Manchu**

A discount code was provided on the screen that comes up when you complete the survey. I am sure they will send you a code if you missed it, just email them.

**Desubot**

Done

Whats the coopin for?

**Wyrmalla**

A year already? I wonder if you can compare what you said last year with current opinions at all?

**Manchu**

If you remember what email you used last year, I think they can look it up for you. You can contact them via FB.

Hi and thanks for posting the survey Manchu!
- Thanks for pointing out we missed modeling and converting... Point for 2016!
- Re the 'army size': we purposely listed no specific games for the army size, but we're looking purely at the number of models. That said, it's always an estimate and we've found in general it's near impossible to pose the questions so there's no loophole. It's like writing rules...
- if you lost your code, we can provide a new one. Just email our customer service (service *AT* karwansaraypublishers.com)
- yes, if you took part last year and left your email address, I can look up what you said there. Just please don't ask all at once. I'd need to clone myself...

**Guildsman**

Completed. Would love to see some of the data when this is all said and done.

**Manchu**

They publish it all in a big write up with graphs later in the year. I recommend picking up a copy, or really any copy. WS&S is a really nice magazine with lots of great features, reviews, and some very entertaining writing about our weird, wonderful. hobby.

**TheCustomLime**

Just finished it. Boy, I didn't realize how much 40k has influenced my war gaming preferences.

**Haight**

Took it and highly recommended Dakka.

**Jehan-reznor**

I am doing my part!

Spoiler:

**Reality-Torrent**

DakkaDakka was given a proud 5.

**Blacksails**

Completed it. Be interesting to see the results.

And yes, Dakka got a 5.
