Hello from New Zealand

[Captain Chook]

Hello.  I have only recently become a lurker but felt it was time to join.  I see a few names popping up here that I recognise from other forums.  Having mainly played 15mm Napoleonics I have moved to 28mm Fantasy and now 10mm Fantasy.  At the moment I am just a solo player and will see how Warband works for solo play.

Welcome Captain. I am also a solo player and while I have dabbled in sci-fi/fantasy mainly concentrate on musket and pike (an now only in 10mm). We have regulars here from both the North and South Islands so you'll like hear from them. Me - I'm stuck in a rural area between NZ and Britain.

Welcome on board

Welcome from me, too, Cap'n. 

If you've only been a lurker for a short while.....I hope you're already aware of the lunacy that frequently breaks out here.

Cheers - Phil

Hello. How's it going bro?

Welcome to the forum Captain Chook  

Whereabouts in NZ are you based? I'm in Wellington. Our small band of Saturday night regulars plays historical stuff these days anything from ancients to fairly modern day.

10mm wise I have a lot of early WW1 and building up a ECW force currently.

I'm sure PaulR and Sandinista, a couple of other Kiwi regulars on the forum, will be here in due course.

Cheers
Peter

Hi,
Welcome to this forum  living proof that erudite sophistication  and complete insanity can co-exist.

[Captain Chook]

As I am a sad bastard with nothing better to do (just relaxing after the gym) I find I have time to get back to the forum.
Thanks for the welcomes.  For those of you in NZ, I live in Tauranga.  For the Wellington crowd, I know von Peter who is a 28mm Napoleonic enthusiast you may have come across.

[Sandinista]

Tauranga, only 2 hours away - relatively close by NZ standards 

Cheers
Ian

Getting enough Kiwis here to  run a 10mm convention...Taupo seems a central spot provided the Desert Road is open

Welcome Captain; I assume you borrowed the H from Witby. Take care when wandering up the beach.

Sounds like a good idea

Hi Chook,

I am Bryan, currently based in Wellington but hoping to be living on the road from later this year in my Motorhome.
A 28mm Napoleonic fan, I am putting them in storage and am in the process of finishing two 10mm League if Augsburg armies.

I will be in Tauranga later in the year as we have an elderly relative up there so if you fancy a game let me know.

As an aside, my surname is Fowler, and was called Chook for the first 20 years of my life.

Cheers
Bryan

Hi Chook,

I am Bryan,

And so is your wife ?

Sorry too much Monty Python runs round my head.
