Wow. Just, wow.

That absolutely has to take the prize for the most-epic-single-handed-double-facepalm-first-post-fail of all time, surely?

First, welcome to the Pendraken forum, republicsfury - good to see you here. You'll find it a friendly place, with loads of people who are keen to help you out with pretty much anything you might need - from OOBs to painting tips to requests for new ranges to pics of totty...

Second, this is a really easy-to-navigate forum: everything is well laid-out, in a logical way. It also has a lovely (and easy-to-find) 'Search' function (it's labelled 'Search') - this helps people find threads related to topics they're interested in. Simply type in the thing you'd like to find / see and hit 'enter' or 'return' or 'that big button towards the right hand side of your keyboard'. And then click on all the lovely topics that come up that are related to the word(s) you looked for. Quite often, it's a good idea to actually use this functionality before bemoaning the lack of info on something. Tends to avoid embarrassing first posts that make you look like a dick.

Third, I'm really pleased that you've found a wargames product that you like. From another company. I wonder if I should post new-topic threads on all the manufacturer fora I can find about how pleased I am with their competitors products and slate them for their shortcomings? It might work - after all, we do know that the majority of wargames companies are huge, multi-national corporations with huge staffing, inordinate operational and marketing budgets and an unlimited supply of time.

Fourth, I've found a book you might like to read:


Fifth, welcome again - I think, with some careful application of humility, self-awareness, friendliness, engagement and a sense of humour, you might just feel at home here.
