Hello from Brooklyn!

[Chris Pringle]

Ooo - did someone mention large scale historical battles? Welcome aboard, Jameson!

As for the accent, I'm actually originally from Virginia, so it's adorable in that Southern sort of way - you know, "Frankly mah dear..." and all that.

How splendid!

This rounds on Jameson.  Orders at the bar please gents.

Surely a certain type of Irish whisky would be appropriate?


May I echo the sentiment of our elder statesman (I mean "elder statesman" in the same way that measles are a "social interaction") in saying that you will fit in nicely. (You may want to read through a few threads, then take a long hard think about what you have become.)

Dive into the historical. Post us some pics of your work.  I'm still waiting for some new member to say "oh, I'm not very good at painting" and then actually not be very good. (i.e. better than I.)

Enjoy.

Cheek ! (Elder statesman ....mutter, mutter, grumble, grumble.)
You're still, by far and away, the biggest and most complete oik on the forum, Nobby. 
Cheers - Phil

Ah yes, the Jameson would be quite appropriate .... but bringing out your Black Bush (again), would not!    

By the way, a warm welcome from me too, JT.  Unfortunately, history, not fantasy, is my thing (so I've yet to experience the allure of Warband  ).

From Virginia, eh? (Where in Virginia?) Surprised you are not more into historical wargaming than Flames of War. Was first there on holiday (vacation) two years ago (based mainly in Fredericksburg and Williamsburg) and went back again this year (so must have enjoyed it - actually I did). When last in NY, never quite made it to Brooklyn (walked the length of the Brooklyn Bridge but turned back because my feet were aching!).

You should be (and probably are) proud of the historical heritage of your home State - so rich in history - Jamestown settlement (17th C.), Yorktown (18th C.) and the plethora of Civil War battlefields (19 C.). If you should ever venture more into historical wargaming, you should find that Pendraken will meet most (if not all) of your needs for re-fighting the battles from your home State's history.

I was romantically involved with a Southerner once. It was her vowels more than anything else that got me.

Hi Jameson, great forum, friendly members, awesome talent pool. Enjoy

Welcome Brooklyn.
Now you see why your ancestors went their own way.



F.K. Who from Eastenders did you date?

Welcome, Jameson, though you have disappointed me. I thought I was saying hello to one of David Beckham's kids.

Greetings! 

[mollinary]

but the prospect of large scale historical battles is what ultimately drew me to 10mm.

Then the Pendraken is exactly the place for you, my dear fellow!   And mid nineteenth century is the period.  Pendraken ranges are awesome for 1866 and 1870, and nineteenth century battles don't come much bigger. Plus, this forum has more expertise on this period than you'll find anywhere else.  Welcome!

Hi Jameson, great forum, nutters the lot of them. Enjoy

How rude!
