Fondly remembering a teenage scenario

[getagrip]

Have you tried looking around for a club? Most clubs I know are desperate for new members. The local library usually has a directory of local clubs.

Do we still have a "local clubs" thread on here?

My first experience with wargaming was nowhere near as impressive as some of the stories told by you guys. 2004, year 7 after school in a history classroom playing warhammer 40k on some tables pushed together with books as hills and no other terrain.

With such little terrain anyone not playing a shooty army was pretty much obliterated.


Now I'm at university slowly painting up figures for a napoleonics army for whom I have no opposing army myself, and I know nobody to oppose it. I have no terrain. One day though... The army will see battle!

Whereabouts are you?

I will do when my army is ready to play battles.

Whereabouts are you?

At uni, Canterbury, at home, Farnborough.

Dahn Sarff den. Should have gone to Liverpool Uni. The Liverpool club has lots of scenery.

So am I the only one who saw the thread title and had a very different sort of "Fondly remembering a teenage scenario" in mind?

(A purely fictional one of course - didn't actually talk to girls as a teenager)

Anyhow for me it was old WW2 Airfix rules, blanket on the floor and the old plastic tanks / soldiers - happy days

No* (and I am sure there are others). But isn't it telling that we chose to fondly recall wargaming memories?


* and she was a cracker. Phwaw!

They're the only ones we can share

Bad luck old chap. As a 14 year old a double love bite from a set of twins is a scenario I shall never forget.

It's probably then wearing a polo neck jumper in the middle of summer for the next five days that you remember most

Tried to convince everyone I had been experimenting with shaving.
