Hello from (near) Hanover in Germany

[howayman]

Sounds like Soviet spying to me.
Oh Steffen Sorry Welcome aboard.
There is no way out now, like "The Hotel California"

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

@Subedai:

I used to take rental cars to Bergen-Hohne Garrison near Celle between 2003 and 2006.

Cheers, Steffen.

I lived at Munsterlager -at least that's what it was called back then, I can't seem to find it on Google Maps though.

Also while others are bandwagoning their personal favourites, I can vouch for the shiny loveliness of the Mongols.

I think Herman probably drank it while you were away.

Just noticed the Hanover bit. We are running a large CWC game based around there set in 1985. Are there any maps of the area for that date available, particularly showing the Autobahn.

Thanks

Have you tried Google?

I suspect the person in question has (Well I know he did). It gives 2014 stuff, he was looking for 85, and needs to check for changes.

Oh, that might get very difficult. Because the only place to get such maps, as I know, is the city of Hanover in the archive. I don't know, if they give them out.

There is something I found online, but these are older maps. I don't think it is helpful.  ( http://www.landkartenarchiv.de/deutschland_stadtplaene_falk.php )

And here is something from 1972 road atlas, but it's the latest to be found online ( http://www.landkartenarchiv.de/deutschlandkarten.php?q=adacreisekarte_deutschland_1972 )

Cheers

Welcome to the Forum, Sir.

Don't understand why, but every time we get a new member, people post some right gibberish. Could be a foreign language for all I know!

Personally I never saw the attraction of the dastardly American Insurrection. Do you think you could be persuaded to a more acceptable form of gaming? I can personally recommend the American Civil War range, and WWII, and medieval, and Marlborough's Wars and the Dark Age.

The Centurion tanks are particularly lovely.

 

Yes, I also thought about The American Civil War and the Dark Age. I already painted some WW II miniatures from other Ranges for a 15mm Skirmish. What I think, that also very interesting are the modern Armies of the 20th Century. There are very interesting Rules available for these scenarios.

Right now I try to get finished some AWI Minis, but the variety of the miniatures made by Pendraken is incredible. I don't know where to start

It's not the starting that's the problem, Steffen, it's the stopping once you get going!
