How apropos that #1814 would be from the colonies.

Welcome to the forum OBJ from ABY* - I like your signature line - it shows potential.

Agreed. And some of us remember that America gave us contract bridge and Stanley Kubrick.

Welcome to the madhouse, OBJ.

Hello and welcome

Welcome your Majesty.

Nice to have a King of Bohemia in our midst. Give the place a bit of class.

Even bringing us quotes from the great Marx. (For the plebs, that's Groucho, not Karl.)

So does 1814 also point at your period of preference?

[Leman]

Agreed. And some of us remember that America gave us contract bridge and Stanley Kubrick.

Check the pavements in New York, then in London. It might be an interesting comparison.

Hi, Number 1814.

Hi oldblindjohn! Welcome to the forum.

I think the responses so far in this thread give a fine flavour of the warmth and weirdness on display in the forum at large

I hope you enjoy your time here.

Thank you one and all for the nice welcome.
My favorite wargame periods are Hittites and Egyptians, WAS, and late 17th century land warfare.
The nick name came from my thesis advisor. I quoted John Milton a bit while dong post graduate work. Plus I was some what older than my colleagues.

Again thanks for the welcome.

Ah! So do you have a special adaption for your computer? How do you paint? Better than I do probably!

I have been gently agitating for chariot armies for a while now. Perhaps you could add your vote? To be fair, the voting system is something akin to the Chinese Communist Party Convention. There will be much Warband in our future, then hopefully some post WWII, but I'm hoping that chariots may make an appearance. Minoans, Egyptians, Assyrians, Hittites ...
