Gentlemen, I am a wargamer from Spain, currently interested in SYW, together with some fellow wargamers in Murcia
We are planning to set a campaign using the excellent Pendraken Range.
Comming back to you soon.
Good choice.
Welcome.
May I ask, are you Spanish? If so, please accept my compliments on your English.
May your time on the Forum be fruitful and may you enjoy your Pendraken figures!
SYW is not my forte, but I would be very interested in any photographs you take. Of your figures. Not personal ones. That would be weird. Though we do weird on this forum. So maybe it wouldn't be weird. Would it be weird? I don't know now. :-\

I'm painting WWII Russians at the moment.
Welcome aboard Theo!
This forum is weird, well FSN is weird, really weird. Isn't that weird? :-\
Hi Theo. :-h
Arternoon...

Hola, mucho gusto. SYW is one of thew periods I game, and you are right about the figures.
Welcome on board :).
A Spanish player is no doubt interested in the conquest of Mexico too, right? :)
Yeah, Grant and Bragg gave them some stick at Vera Cruz and Mexico City, and it was goodbye to California, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico, and no chance of regaining Texas.
Their successes down Mexico way were rather more permanent in their effects.
Hi, where in Spain are you?

I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.
Well our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and a fanatical devotion to the pope....

NO one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Welcome. Enjoy.
Ask anything you like, but don't expect sensible answers all the time.
Welcome! :)
Im a new guy too. A bunch of friendly folk here. They make you feel quite at home. You will like it.
Welcome :)
Slightly concerned this thread started with us being called gentlemen - clearly not from around here.
Welcome to our warm & cosy corner of the interweb.
Ah! Perhaps he wasn't addressing all of us?

Welcome Theo
Welcome theo :)
Wow!
What a good wellcome, I must say!
Thank you very much for your comments
I´m painting some SYW Prussian and Austrian, but I have to paint a full SYW Russian Army!
We randomize the kingdom of our next campaign of the excellent "Warfare in the Age of the Reason" and I will command the Russians, so...
Good Lord! That's exactly the same situation I'm in with my SYW stuff.
Russians tend to be more uniform than the other nations. Not much of a choice of facing colours. And the infantry colours - "baroque" is the only word that fits, I think!
Even easier to do if you go for the red vest (sleeved) and red breeches approach. Infantry summer uniform is a doddle and will make the Russians look decidedly different from the Austrians and Prussians. Baccus do a good range of SYW Russian flags. I find that their flags are oversized for 6mm figures and work particularly well with 10mm.
