Well, I thought I wasn't going to be interested in 10mm. Leon, you are indeed a terrible little imp, aren't you?  :D

The SYW stuff looks nice, but ooh, look Medieval stuff and Samurai, yes ...

Oh dear what have I done?  :o

:(

Don't forget you need rather a lot of ashigaru too.

This made me remember I've got a load of Late Mediavals stashed away somewhere.  And Mongols are coming.   Hmm.

Welcome Jay always nice to see a new victim ... face :)

What have you done? Well I started out intending to get a pack of German infantry for a skirmish game and am now well on the way to having a complete German Panzer Division for "Blitzkreig Commander" :)

Well, I can't say I game mostly one thing or the other because my tastes are rather catholic as Henry Hyde would say.

- Started dabbling with Quadrant 13 from Too Fat Lardies using GZG's lovely 15mm figures. Looking to get into Chain of Command in the near future. I have 15s for it as well. And I have I Ain't Been Shot Mum, but haven't played it yet. Would probably use the 15s I already have for it.

- I love Commands & Colors, both Ancients and Napoleonics. Been using 6mm figures for Ancients. I have some 6mm Napoleonic British, but haven't painted them yet.

- As for set up, I mostly play on my dining table. I need to get off my dead ass and get my 1200 sq. ft. basement cleaned up and start turning it into combination gaming space and family room.

- As for 10mm, I have a blister of GW Skeleton Archers. That's it. I could see doing some mass battle stuff using 10mm for fantasy, but the 18th century fascinates me.

I'm married with two kids and a dog. In case you don't know me from other places, I am an Afghanistan vet. I am currently an Infantry Squad Leader and serve full-time in the Illinois National Guard.
