Title: Hi All
Post by: Jasper on 09 May 2015, 09:16:38 AM
Just wanted to say hi on joining the forum.

I am a long time wargamer of over 40 years, I think I have probably touched almost every period in almost every scale and have an unpainted lead mountain to prove it :)

My periods I kind of never stop doing in order are napoleonics, ACW, AWI, ancients ..... You get the picture. Current hot focus is building up new 10mm ACW armies for refighting 1862 valley campaign, and no I am not a Jackson worshipper, I don't particularly rate him - he just made a few less mistakes then the opposition.

I live in the North East of England, I don't belong to any clubs.

:)

Does your interests extend to anything mechanised? Or are you restricted to the clip, clop eras? 

You see, to me Jackson looks like this ...

your comments makes me wonder who has the largest unpainted lead (and plastic) mountain.

ARE YOU MAD!!!!!!    A post discussing the size of our said mountains could be very dangerous if any significant other read it.

I can see the conversation going like this:-

Significant other:  I have just read how big your lead mountain is on the Forum - Is it really that big?

Forum Member Well, Its

S.O:  It is that huge isnt it ?

F.M: "but"

S.O:  Don't you BUT me!  How much have you spent on all this, This STUFF?  

F.M : Just a few quid here and there Love"

S.0 : "A FEW QUID!!!!  I have seen the prices on EBAY - you have spent hundreds of pounds!!!!!"

F.M:   (Despertaely trying to find a way out)  No Darling, not a musch as that, most of the stuff I buy on the bring and buy for a fiver!

S.0:  ( Now rumaging isn F.M's wargame cupboard)  SO what this reciept in this box file ??   its got your name on it and is says - Oh I can't read the bl**dy name - 28mm Niky-foron Byzantics £250 ANDS ITS GOT YOUR NAME ON IT !!  Thats not FIVE  FLAMING QUID IS IT?  IS IT?

F.M: ( Now in state of Panic ) No Darling, I bought those with the money Aunty Flo left me.

SO.: (Slighty placated)  Oh, Ok then thats alright. HANG ON A MINUTE - the reciepts from TWO YEARS BEFORE SHE DIED!!!! What are you playing at?

F.M: Wargames.

S0: Don't be flippant with me, when you have been wasting all our money on, on TOYS!

S.0 now starts rumaging in wargames cupboard.

F.M. ( Now in real panic mode as he starts to realise there may be more reciepts in the cupboard )

S.0:  LOOK ANOTHER RECIEPT WITH YOUR NAME ON!  Its from a company called Pendraken,  ITS FOR £150!!!  and there tiny, £150 of OUR MONEY on these silly little things?

F.M:  Thats for refighting Antietam with Tom

S.0 (still looking at recipt incredulously)  This reciept say "CHEERS LEON!" on it, whose Leon?

F.M He's the supplier

S.0  I DON'T BELIEVE IT - YOUR ON FIRST NAME TERMS WITH THE MANUFACTURER !!   YOU MUST HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS!!

F.M.  Look at least you know where I am each evenuing and its not like i spend as much as Tom

S.O  Does Sarah know how much Toms spends?? I bet she doesn't know You and Tom have  spent nearly £200 on stuff for that "Anty battle thing?".  I AM GOING TO CALL SARAH!!

F.M: (In pleading small boy voice )  Please don't do that.

S.O Then we are going to see how much of OUR money is in this cupboad.......

I consider myself immensely blessed.  My SO is a gamer (and a Whovian geek) too, so if she ever found out i'd have some good defences ready.

'Yeah love, but you dropped £100 on Magic cards last month, and i noticed Takenoko turn up in the post yeasterday, and i'm pretty sure you only had 4 TIE Fighters last time we played X-Wing, so those other 4 didn't materialise out of thin air.  And how much did that TARDIS cost?  And i noticed another Lament Configuration on the shelf yesterday.  And well, then there's the $200 on the Doubleclicks album Kickstarter...'

So yeah...i'm set!   ;D
