Greetings from Sunny Birmingham

Good to see 'they' didn't scare you off 

I can heartily recommend Middle East WW1, we use If The Lord Spares Us by Too Fat Lardies

[d_Guy]

I'll second Paul - happy you weren't scared off! I am just starting on FPW also - lots of knowledgable folks around here so you can get much useful advice.  Incidently Red Mountain rises just to the north of Birmingham AL but more importantly it is (actually was) any excellent local beer.
Enjoy the sunshine

I'm from Yorkshire, what's an 'H'?!

Examples being

Ospittle: Place y' gan't when y' ill.

Ospittle: Some't that puddles under an 'Os after it's drank a lot of wata.

Sorry - there's another way? 

Roy - in some parts we add H's as in "He hain't here no more!"

My first thought was a piece of artillery equipment 

If so, you will note that Pod and Pendraken begin with "P."

The Sign! You didn't make THE SIGN!!!!

*crosses the Mystic P and runs off screaming!*

My first thought was a piece of artillery equipment 

That was the thought behind the name. I spend a fair amount of my free time messing about with siege equipment...

[Leman]

Thanks for that, Demetrius.

Linstock and two smoking barrels?
