Salutations from this side of the pond.
I'm a Canadian "Colonial" who enjoys, along with other periods, Colonial wargaming, in particular the Zulu War.
My great-grand-dad was a veteran of the 1st Btn, 24th Foot so I have a personal interest.   Back in 2006 I sculpted a Bell tent and Zulu Induna for Pendraken, which was a lot of fun.
The forum is super - a real feel of community about it.
I look forward to knowing you all a little better.

Cheers,
Rob

"All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life­
They'd none of them be missed­
They'd none of them be missed !
And apologetic statesmen of the compromising kind,
Such as What-d'ye-call-him, Thing'embob, also Never-mind,
And 'St-st-st, and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you;
But it really don't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of them be missed­
They'd none of them be missed!" - Gilbert & Sullivan "The Mikado" :)
