Hi Pendraken Residents!

Just a quick hello. My gaming buddies and I have recently decided to venture in the world of 10mm in the effort to get some fully painted armies on the table and get playing and I am glad I have! Got my first Pendraken Delivery and have to say the models are fantastic, especially the Canadiene Milita.

I will post some updates (when I get a better camera!) of our hobby progress, firstly starting with Sharp practice 2 in the French indian war and then very shortly after ACW! The problem is, I am now considering swapping all periods I do to 10mm!!

Anyway, looking forward to trawling through all the hobby posts on here and hopefully contribute!

Cheers

Sir, that is not a problem, that is a rational life choice. I rationalised on the One True Scale several years ago and have never regretted it. Although my bank balance may have some misgivings, I am happier, saner and more attractive to women, dogs and seagulls since I gave up multi-scale gaming.

Anyway, welcome to what we like to call the "Forum", mostly because that's what its name is.  We're a bit traditionalist that way.

Welcome, Plampers. Are you also into Nappies?  :-\

Anyhoo, looking forward to hearing about your French & Indian Wars and ACW adventures in 10mm.  :)


I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
