Been eyeing up some AWI or ACW stuff for a future project and my historical "first love" was always classic antiquity so I'm looking forward to the updated Greek ranges I've heard talk of coming next year.
Ditch the AWI and get something mechanised, and I shall call you brother. The ACW range is beautiful, and I too am chomping at the bit for the new Greeks.

A warm welcome from me, also.   :-h
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

It was indeed Grosvenor  ;D

Quote from: Sunray on 07 December 2018, 09:08:59 AMYour not from "the East"
Born and bred, though currently just over the boundary of south belfast....so that explains the dearth of wise men in "the East"  ;)

Quote from: Sunray on 07 December 2018, 09:08:59 AMkeep your head down when you run past Premark.
I was down that way at the weekend...they're hiding it with a pile of German sausage at the moment!

Mechanised...pah I like to see the whites of their eyes!  :d

Will take more than that! My interest in AWI came mostly from watching "Turn: Washington's Spies", hard to say if it will continue through to next year...

Nothing wrong with the East.  I have friends & family from the Hack.  My first summer job (1971) was rear gunner on a Co-Op milk float. 

We did all the river streets up to the Arches.  Here is a mug shot of Fenton, so you recognise him when he comes round . 8)

Look forward to your posts, comments and images.

Hi mad_lemmey and maenoferren!

Hi Matthew where abouts  in Belfast are you and do you go to any of the club's here?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Hi Fenton,

I'm in Castlereagh, yourself? No I don't go to any clubs, or really know of any at present.

I've been warned about you by a Mister Sunray, I'm sure it's all talk though...  ;D

Fenton

I'm over in Lisburn but usually travel into Belfast to play.  There is a few of us play ADLG in 6mm and Dux Bellorum in 10mm. And building forces for a game Osprey are bringing out next year about Hopilte warfare. Are you playing solo? I don't really do the club's anymore though very occasionally I end up at UWS which is at St John's in the Castlereagh Road

Ah yeah, St Johns is just down the road from me. Yes I've mostly been solo gaming and trying to rope a few people I know into playing.

I see the PM, cheers.

I now want Theresa May to turn up on Matthew's doorstep.

I know you mentioned for King and Parliament last night. There are a couple of good threads on here from Paul and Pierre that are worth a look

Thanks, kind Sir

Matthew, you may find these interesting, we have found that FK&P gives a very enjoyable game with great period feel
