Hello

[civvycivvy]

Hello all, just to introduce myself. I began wargaming back in the time when you had to have a combination of a beard, a perm, or wore platform soles with bell bottoms and wide lapels and collars. My main interest is ACW but I bought my first SYW 15mm figures from Frei Corps. My ACW figures reduced in size from 25mm to 15mm and then after seeing the up and coming young company Pendraken's 10mm figures, I converted again. My gaming has come full circle, as I bought some of the SYW Army Packs at Warfare last month. So off we go again, boning up on the subject,
with the aid of my old books and the wonders of the internet and this impressive web site.

Welcome Mr Civvy.

I think you'll find a few Old Grognards round here.

I've a couple of small Pendraken ACW armies, and they are gorgeous. (Well they were till my brush went near them!)

Hello and welcome !

I really like the SYW minis  from Pendraken.  Show us pictures as soon as you paint them ! 

[FierceKitty]

If I had to confine myself to one pair of matched armies, they'd be SYW Austrians and Prussians.
Welcome aboard.

Yep, SYW was always my first love. (Don't tell the wife.... ).

As I used to say to my ex-wife, "you may go, but I'll always have Don Featherstone."

That almost ranks along side "Your never alone with a Strand"

Hi and Welcome to the forum.

With the war games shows and clubs I have been to you description could relate to any time between 1970 and 2013

Hello and welcome - plenty of old gamers here but only some with beards

What you will find is lots of interesting back threads on one of the best forums in the world - whether 10mm or not - a great bunch of members.

When you say members ...?

Yes. I sometimes wonder why we're no longer together.

[fred.]

You and Don, or you and the ex-wife?
