Hi,

(That's Durham, North-East England, not Canada or the USA to avoid confusion!  :))

I've got back into wargaming in 2002 after an absence of many years and started acquiring Pendraken stuff shortly thereafter. Mostly WW2, but an assortment of other bits as well.

I spent much of the intervening time regulalry hassling Dave at shows about when he would get the early war stuff done, so now I should be happy I've got what I wanted  :D, except that I've started thinking about other periods which I've had in mind for a while... :-\

Cheers,
Jim

Well, we did get two new guys last week who will be joining as soon as we get the AGM out of the way...

Incidentally, they apparently mostly game in 10mm, like BKC for WW2 ... and one of them is called Jim!  :D

Nice one.  Hope they stick around. 

We've got a lot of 10mm gaming planned this year i think - early up is Operation Sealion, Graeme's WWII thing too.  I've got a jolly little 'surprise' thing on the go once Leon gets my order cast... :D ...and i'm planning one or two other bits and bobs for mid to late 2011 too.

I've a feeling i'll miss the AGM at this rate - can't seem to shift this ear infection.  It'll be the first one i've missed too...  :(
