G'day from Australia!

[pierre the shy]

I managed to find the thread, paulr would be the esteemed member you're talking about!

Welcome Nick - as you can see there's a fairly diverse bunch of gamers in on the PM forum - its all good 

Paul is the person that FSN was referring to. 

he has painted a fair bit of 1914 BEF and German Army stuff for me...better than I could ever hope to do: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10195.0.html

We are based in Wellington and play a reasonable amount of normally brigade sized WW1 games using Too Fat Lardies "If the Lord Spares Us" rules. They work really well using 10mm figures.

Anyway, enjoy the forum and if your ever over in en zed I'm sure we can find a battallion or two for you to command if you have time for a game.

Cheers
Peter

There you go, Nick!

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Sums up this forum in a nut-shell.

Please now tell us that you're actually only interested in the Italian Front, 1916.

A very warm welcome to the forum, Nick.

Welcome to the forum Nick. I am sure you will find a wealth of useful information, a bunch of great people who are always helpfull and definately some of us that are slightly insane.

Thanks Peter, looks like I have to jump on the next flight over the pond... 
The Middle East range is the one I'm looking at starting with actually, really admire Paul's and your own work with that.

I might have to disappoint: as any good Anzac knows, the only fronts were the ones fought by the blokes down under!

Slightly?

Well Paul can take 99% the credit for the Middle Eastern stuff that we do....We started out with France 1914 stuff and I got Paul some 1917 Middle Eastern figures to pay for his painting up all the 1914 stuff for me.

I've run a couple of good "Alternative ANZAC" games set on Gallipoli which you can find somewhere in the Batreps thread.

Well, he might tell my cousin.

Welcome Nick

I'm slowly working on the 2^nd Light Horse Brigade at the moment

Well, he might tell my cousin.

Nobby, Australia is slightly bigger than Runcorn

[fsn]

I would ask for pictures, but I've got a 1939 Polish thing going at the moment, and don't want to get distracted.

Nobby, Australia is slightly bigger than Runcorn

I know! It's nearly as big as Warrington, but my cousin is really well known by the people who know him.
