Hello there. I have returned to wargaming this year after 20 years away. I have been lurking on this forum for some time and thought it about time I said hello and thanks for the inspiration. I'm loving the pendraken vibe and been putting together some small 100year war armies for loin rampart in 10mm. As soon as I work out how I'll post some pic. Hope your well and wish u all the best

Regards rawarrior

A very warm welcome to the madhouse forum, R.A.

If you've been having a good 'lurk'....You should have a good idea of what you're letting yourself in for.
Enjoy !

(Look forward to some piccies.....We like photo's.)

Cheers - Phil

Hi RAwarrior,

welcome to the forum, as a lurker you'll know what you are letting yourself in for!

Several of us are happy to talk people through the arcane process of posting pictures here. It's actually quite simple once you get your head around it ... honest :)

Cheers

Welcome to the forum RA, and back to wargaming (your absence must have caused the dimunition in the force that some of the Learned said they felt low these twenty years)

Let's see - the Old Forest is just east of Buckland, but the New Forest....?

Are you a Lancastrian or a sniveling traitor?

Afternoon, Mr Warrior.

Yes, it's a bizarre mix in the Pendraken Forum - sort of a mix of Monty Python and Simon Schama.

Just one question - "small" armies? How small is small, and then "ha!"  :D

I have finished off my WWII French army every year for the past three years.

It is now a reinforced-reinforced-super company.  :D

Be aware that FSN has a strange perception if size. Actually to be fair he has a stranger perception of most things.  :-\

That's how it starts.   ;D

Plenty to choose from. Lots of new things promised as well. I'm looking forward to the T35, and we're promised some modern infantry soon (though what that means is anyone's guess - well actually Leon, the Dark Lord, knows, but keeps a stern silence - his dark brows pulled low over his gimlet eyes, his strangely sensuous lips pressed close together, his pale, almost girlish hands roving over his ...) I'm holding out for the Korean War, but the Arab-Israeli wars may be a good bet.

Welcome, RA. I used to like a good lurk too. Then I joined the forum. I miss that.

btw: Anywhere near Buckler's Hard?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

RAwarrior

Hey there Westmarcher. Buckler`s hard is 25 min drive

Same for me  :)

................... plus another 7 hours!  :(

Was curious coz I stopped by one day during a holiday* to the New Forest many years ago - charming little place with an interesting origin.

Cheers!

* that's a vacation to you, d-guy. (and, anyway, what's wrong with a car having a hat?)  :P
