For the record "I am not weird! " the rest of the forum might be , but am not - The men in white coats that gave me the nice jacket that has buttons at the back said so :)
My sister-in -Law live in Sydney. We had a very nice time when we stayed with them in Manley. Never seen so much attractive female flesh covered wit so little - I didn't know where to look... Well I did , just had to make sure Mrs Orcs didn't catch me looking!
Dark Sun glasses are a wonderful thing. :d

Yep, but "If your not living on the edge - You're taking up to much space"
Welcome to the Forum, George. The First Persian War is one of my favorites. ;)
Welcome to the forum old chap. I'm sure you will enjoy the wizard wheezes and jolly japes associated with this erudite company.

G'day Westmarcher (and all the crew)
Currently live on the South Coast of NSW, so roughly a couple of hours South of Sydney if that helps?
I have the '1870' rules by Bruce Weigle but have not played them as yet, have been using the book more as a resource.
Gaming-wise, down this part of the 'bush' we use a set of home-grown quick play rules which fit one sheet of A4 paper. Rules are optimised for Army level games ie. multi Corps on each side. That said, the basing style is also compatible with the 1870 rules, so have the option to game the period with a 'proper' set of rules also!
Will try and get some photos up shortly of progress so far.
Have visited the forum a few times in the past. A mate sent me a link to the posts that Javier Gomez (??) put up of his FPW stuff a while ago, completely blew me away and was the clincher to have a crack at 10mm, ... and also to get into FPW. I'm also a fan of Napoleonics and ACW, so have the best of both worlds with FPW!
Almost all of my previous gaming has been in 15mm, but am really enjoying painting up the 10mm stuff, an absolute joy to work with. Pity I bought so much though, seems like I'm getting nowhere fast even though I'm churning out fully painted & based units in a fraction of the time it took me in 15mm!!
Appreciate the warnings on the 'quality' of company on the Forum, as mentioned, have dropped bye previously a few times so know most of the usual suspects,... and their idiosyncrasies! ;)
Thanks again for the warm welcome and looking forward to the banter. 8)
