Hail Great Brush!

Sweeping statements from you there.

I won't pan your choices but you've left yards of really good stuff out of your list. WWII and post war for example. We're building up nicely with some post war stuff - Ferrets and the Centurion Bridgelayer - and we've been promised Foxes as well.

Anyway, welcome and enjoy!


.    Oh I have a copy of Team Yankee and CWC as well.  I have some flames of war as well but do t play it much.   Now if you guys do some African bush wars I'd be in

Welcome GreatBrush

Many, many moons ago I spent 6 weeks at the British Army Training Unit Suffield, Alberta. Flew from Germany via Ganda, Newfoundland. Only to find out after about a week that I had chickenpox and spent a further week in isolation in hospital as the army was terrified that I would infect the 600 man battle group that they had sent out there at great expense. Still had a great time afterward in Calgary and then went up to Jasper and down the Rockies into Montana. Very fond memories.

Cheers and welcome again, Paul

Right on Paul.  I am from Calgary and spent most of the 90's in a reserve Unit called the Calgary Highlanders of which I was a third generation of my family to serve in that great unit. I know Suffer-field  all to well lol.  I remember being stuck out their once with a -60c wind chill fun right? Not always lol.  We chewed some of the same dirt!   Thank you for your welcome Paul and for your service.

Thank you all for your warm welcomes!   Some cool cats on here.

Welcome from the north of England and the home of Pendraken.
I had the pleasure of visiting Canada a couple of years ago. Started with a couple of days in Calgary, visiting the great armed forces museum, then I went to Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper before ending up in Vancouver.
This forum is a goldmine of useful information and witty banter.
You will enjoy it here  :-bd :-bd :-bd

It truly is a small world.  I am the Event Coordinator for said military museum!  I'm glad you enjoyed the Museum.  Lots of UK folks really dig it and we get lots of British forces guys who visit    I'm working on getting a regular gaming event set up at the museum

Welcome, I have been a member of the forum for a couple of months. I thought I was eccentric until then, but compared to this lot,..................

The older gentleman at the reception desk looked like Dick Van Dyke and said that he was English by birth being born in Cornwall. He was very helpful even to the point of getting us a taxi to take us back into the center of town.
We really enjoyed the museum and the delights of the city. :D :D :D :D
