Can you get a grant?...You buy nothing but 10mm Pendraken figures for 10 years and see if it makes a difference to your well being and if it makes you nicer to people,with an extra 6 months in the South Pacific to run a wargaming show on the Cook Islands to see if the effect is global

Since I already moved from my homecountry (Germany) to the world centre of tasteful wargaming (UK) and sistanced myself from less socially responsible options (GW), moreover after I embraced the approach another company (their respective "bosses being calles Leon and Dave - just coincidential I assure you) I would argue the wellbeing of myself has already reached a level I am comfortable with.

However for sustained happyness also for my surrounding the approach of increased exposure is certainly worth a try. I would leave the comfort of the Pendraken/Minibits goodness for the Cook Islands only if said companies would be having stand there.

In layman's terms it is being socially responsible and making money.

Good luck Seb.

I am not sure that "responsible" is a suitable word for use in, or about this forum or its users.  :)

well done matey.

did mine on local power politics and how that affected planning decisions in my local authority - you can guess at the results, turned out half the planning comittee and several head honchos at the council were members of the same masonic lodge.

I was at King Alfs with Lauren Cohan  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1659348/?ref_=tt_cl_t6    :P

What was her favourite wargaming period?...Did she have any wish to see a Centurion in 10mm
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!
