Hi I'm Stephen

At aged 65 I'm a fully paid up member of the Airfix Generation and have been wargaming since 1967. I have model soldiers and AFVs (and warships) in a variety of scales.

I started in 10mm with Pendraken's Flodden Range about 4 years ago and having met Leon at Phalanx,St Helen's, I bought a lot of post war armour, as the Arab-Israeli conflicts are a particular favourite of mine. And I look forward to buying more from his Arab-Israeli range.

I recently visited the battlefields of northern France 
looking at battlefields connected with the 1940 campaign and before going I bought some of Pendraken's early WW2 armour and the Blitzkrieg Commander rules which I really liked. I intend getting the Cold War Commander rules shortly.

Welcome to the forum, Stephen.

p.s. if you're quick, you can edit your post (e.g., I just tried typing "Pedestrian's Flodden Range" and it changed it to "Pedestrian's Flooded Range - good ol' auto-correct)  :)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Bedlam? Isn't that now the Imperial War Museum?

Welcome Steve.

The Arab-Israeli conflicts are of great interest. In 1973 I took cuttings from the newspapers every day ... then years later my Mum threw them out.  :(
