Title: Hello from Biłgoraj, Poland
Post by: Kretus on 23 November 2010, 09:56:54 PM
Hi
So I'm finally here. Couldn't resist becoming Member no 500  ;)

My name is Andrzej, I'm living in the little town in eastern Poland. My gaming team is located in Lublin. We are 5-7 strong, using Pendraken miniatures mainly for Warmaster (fantasy, ancients and medieval). We used to make a joint-order from time to time.

Already happy owner of 2000 points Late Romans (great work of Clibinarius), 2500 points Burgundian Ordonnance / Fantasy Empire  (still in painting). Still waiting for Goths, and slowly planning a "Sassanid Project".
My friends are buying mainly late medievals, late Romans and fantasy (beastmen for example). Reason - excellent balance between price and quality.

Apologize for my poor English, when I was young it wasn't a subject of learning in our schools, and I was never in need to visit England  ;) Still it's enough to read wargames rules.

Welcome Andrzej!
Pity you are in the other side of Poland (I'm in Wroclaw) because I would like to join you sometimes in gaming.

Welcome to the forum!  I've been to Krakow once, and I loved it, I think it's not too far from where you are?

Kraków.
About 250 km. I've studied there.

Don't know much about Nap's period. Chevau-légers de la Garde (szwoleżer gwardii) perhaps  :P?

At least you'll easily recognize my helmet's type.

Unfortunatelly I don't have enough time to practice longbow shooting.

 Very close Chevau-légers lanciers Polonaise de la Garde  :D

My longbow hasnt been strung for years, I doubt I could get the bowstring onto it now, I am so out of practice
