I may have missed some important news on this since his sad post so apologies if I'm mentioning this again but has anyone heard anything from him at all?

Just checked and he has not been on since 1st October - a little worrying.

From his last few posts, it looked like there was very sad news to come, at any time. :(

Just to update, I've had a reply from a friend of Andy's and it's not great news unfortunately:

Hi,

Just giving you an update on Andy, he's not in great shape, he is has difficulty walking and has lost most of his memory and eyesight, medical staff are coming in several times a day, it's now about making him as comfortable as possible. He is still his cheerful self despite his condition and is still fighting it, how he does it I don't know, even though you have to repeat things to him as he cannot remember whats been said.

Andy has said to thank every one for there concern and messages. My name is Harry and I am a friend of Andy's we have been friends for a long time, we served together in the armed services. He speaks very highly of you and the Pendraken team and the forum members. I will try to keep you all updated on things. I'm not a wargamer so I don't know anything about the hobby.

Thank you again for your email.

Harry
