Hello from San Diego

[Coffeefiend]

Yup. That is it. Just a simple hello from me.

I have recently (Friday) placed an order for SYW French to begin working on Fontenoy for a local convention next April and the plan is to provide regular updates.

Hello Coffeefiend

Welcome to the forum from  a usually warm, but currently very wet*, Australian.

Looking forward to hearing about the progress of your French adventure 

Remember, it's not real if there's no photos.

The forum is a very friendly place. I'll leave you to work your way through the in-jokes and diversions.

I've got no real expertise in the 7YW but you'll find that there are lots of people here that can, unusually, balance giving good information with a lack of pontification  .

Welcome again, cheers

Greetings Mr Fiend.

May I add my welcome.

SYW - now there's a proper war! I think first being the first world war, as it did tend to leak out of Europe. Look forward to your updates, as I'm having trouble with my Marlburians. 

I'm sure someone on this forum will pop up and be able to tell you the lace trimming on the underwear of the Regiment de Roy - whoever Roy was. It's that kind of place!

Welcome Mike

I'm sure someone on this forum will pop up and be able to tell you the lace trimming on the underwear of the Regiment de Roy - whoever Roy was. It's that kind of place!

I am a little concerned that you have obviously been looking at Roy's (Hertsblue) underwear.

Hello, Old Bean.  Welcome to our version of Fiends Reunited.   
Personally, I blame the SYW for introducing me to Pendraken and the crazy people in this wonderful forum. Looking forward to reading how your project progresses. 

That is some amount rainfall, Grumpy. Where in Oz are you?

[Leman]

Welcome Coffefiend. You can't go wrong with mid-C18th using Pendraken. Great period and great sculpts. Enjoy.

Hi Mike, welcome to the forum.

Excuse me while I sort out my co-forumites. Firstly the Regiment du Roy has nothing to do with me or my underwear. The Regiment du Ray, on the other hand, was last seen hightailing it back to base because of heavy rain. Secondly, at the risk of being thought a smart-arse, may I point out that Fontenoy was not a SYW battle at all, but part of the War of the Austrian Succession of 1745. There, I feel a lot better for that.   

[Subedai]

A wotcha from me. Good luck with your project and keep us informed.
