Hello to all,
Just a brief intro to say hello and looking forward to being here. I'm a long time wargamer, ECW, Naps, ACW, FPW & WWII, altho relatively new to Blitzkrieg Commander. I started with BKCII and have BKCIV now also. My gaming is focused nearly entirely in 6mm these days in all the above mentioned periods. The more I look at the webstore here the more I'm dragged back to 10mm ;D I did 10mm way back with Command Decision but the figures/vehicles in those days were dire and BKC is so much more playable also IMHO.
Thanks for reading and looking forward to being here
Good afternoon Grenadier!
Welcome to the forum, a potent mix of insanity, erudition and debates about bases.
What forces are you thinking of using?
Welcome on board and I look forward toseeing your efforts in 10mm and with BKCIV :)
Welcome to the forum!
As fsn says, it is a place that is warm, welcoming, well read, well informed, weird and wacky! :)
Enjoy your time here!
Welcome, sounds like a fun mix of periods! Please do share what you get up to with us all, regardless of the scale. Which part of Ireland are you from if you don't mind me asking?
Course some of use are real nasty, welcome :d
good afternoon from a fellow Irish man but one from the north
Thank you to all for the warm welcome, a potent mix of insanity, erudition and debates sounds just about right in theses strange times.
In WWII I am a huge fan of North West Europe from 6 June, especially D Day to Falaise Gap, Arnhem and the Bulge altho all WWII is good tbh. I have gamed in all scales from 1/72 to 6mm and started WWII with Operation Warboard and some of Charles Grant's books !.....so not in the first flush of youth here ;D ;D ;D. I have probably played/tried most the major wargames rules released over the past 40 years :-[ I'm based in Dublin and whilst thru the years gamed with a club and friends, the majority of my gaming these days is solo
A very warm welcome, 'G'.
Cheers - Phil. :)
Hello and welcome 💂
Ah Grenadier, a man after my own kidney!
I have set upon August 1944 - mostly Guards Armoured and Panzer Lehr.
Photos of your progress, please!
Welcome
this is a great forum (if you discount one or two Nutters) 8)
I wont mention names, but you'll soon find out who I mean.
if you go onto to old BKC forum you'll find lots of answers, and information you might need.
Regards
Sean

That is very true. There are some sane ones on the forum.
Let me tell you who they are HMMMMMM...........(Orcs has a long think )......... some hours later. Leon possibly ??
Once again, many thanks to all for the additional warm & friendly welcomes. My only observation about "nutters" etc etc is that.......we are by virtue of our passion, considered by many, if not all, in the real world, to be "strange" people....grown men playing with toy soldiers :o However, given the "strange year " we have all endured and are still enduring, if it wasn't for the "toy" soldiers, I, for one, would have gone maaaaaaddddddd ;D ;D. All I can say is Thank God for Pendraken, Blitzkrieg Commander and Wargames Vault......I'm just crazier now than I was months ago......but in my craziness I'm well on the way to having two complete BKC MicroMark Divisions ready to go......not platoons, not companies and not even battalions......but entire Divisions......so the "nutters" here won't be a problem...at all ;D ;D ;D ;D Cheers All

This is not so much a manufacturer's forum, more a way of keeping some pretty strange people off the streets.
