Hello from Brooklyn!

[jameson_thornton]

Hello,

My name's Jameson. I'm an avid tabletop rpg gamemaster and player who grew up playing Avalon Hill and SPI board games and Dungeons & Dragons. My experience with wargaming has mainly been with The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game and Flames of War.

I'm interested in getting together a game of Warband or, since Pendraken has a good Ancients line, maybe Warmaster Ancients.

Thanks,
Jameson

Hi Jameson, welcome to the Forum!

Welcome Jameson

You have certainly come to the right place for Warband or any other help you need, feel free to ask any question and someone helpful will be sure to respond

There may also be some 'entertaining' responses as well but they are mainly harmless

True ! .....A very friendly and knowledgeable bunch here.....Though some appear to be as mad as a box of frogs.  (No names, no pack drill  )
A very warm welcome, Jameson.

Don't worry about the Limeys. They haven't forgiven you for beating them, that's all.

Dear Mr Thornton,

Welcome to the forum. In my humble opinion, you should try the ancients. Then you'll want to try the medieval ranges, and then you'll wonder about the advent of gunpowder and the next thing you know you'll be slavering over the new British Napoleonics (which are very, very good), then being from the wrong side of the pond you'll need the ACW range.  By that time you'll be missing something solid, and you'll have watched "Fury" or something, and you'll have this absurd notion that Sherman was a good tank and you will have to have some WWII.

By that time, you'll be thinking "Ah the good old days when I played Warband." Pendraken will have introduced it's new range of Trappist Elf Marine Horse Artillery and you'll begin the cycle all over again.

Oh! If you're from Brooklyn do you have that adorable accent that one sees on those rather grisly cinematic entertainments? How louche!

If so, some phonetic spelling would be so cute!

I'm gonna Moider da bum!

Hello and welcome.

A hearty welcome to the Brooklynite. 

Good man on the Warband front.  It's good to see the fantasy madness make it to the Big Apple.  I look forward to seeing your splendid armies suitably daguerreotyped.  As others have said, once 10mm gets in your blood, the options are endless,  since with very few exceptions Pendraken do a range of products for 'it' (whatever your particular'it'is).

Have fun here sir.  Its hard not to!

Welcome Jameson, I hope you find the forum informing and fun. 

We have nothing against our cousins across the pond, despite the fact that they were late for two historic events in the Twentieth century.

Hi Jameson,

welcome to the forum, I hope you will find it as interesting, helpful and amusing as I have!

As to the "mad as a box of frogs" ... I couldn't possibly comment ... but considering some of the responses above ....

Welcome Jameson

I've been to Brooklyn, spent half a day there, walked over the Manhattan Bridge from Manhattan and back via the Brooklyn Bridge. Must go again sometime.

I'm a Warmaster player and I'm just getting into Warband. A key feature of my juncture of rulesets is the use of sabot bases. This will allow me to use lots of my figures without rebasing.

Have a look here:

In the amphibian world they say "Brek-kek-kek-kek, koax, koax", which means "Mad as the Pendraken forum".

It's rare one finds something is both interesting, amusing and insane!

Hello Or "ribbit", for some reason.

How do you apologise to a witch? -------------------------> ribbit! ribbit! brek-kek-kek-kex!

Oh...and...there are a lot of Brits on here. 

We'll take some getting used to for the average Murcan (so my Murcan friends tell me).

In particular, when we like someone, they get made fun of...so...expect a lot of, 'America.  Taken completely by surprise at Pearl Harbour.  TWO YEARS into a global war.  Amateurs.'  Etc...



Give as good as you get mate.
