Hello all,
I have been playing BKC since I was introduced to 1st edition at the Middlesbrough club. It reinvigorated my interest in gaming WW2 which I had lost as I was generally not happy with the rules I was using. With the publication of CWC I bought more armies for those rules. I thoroughly enjoy both sets of rules.

Welcome Steve. You will find plenty of BKC chatter on this forum. Don't mind Ian - he has his own turns of phrase, but I bet he's quite cuddly in reality.

Steve, welcome to the forum.

I will give my usual warning - the forum is welcoming, well informed, well intentioned and well weird by turns :)

I'm sure you'll enjoy the time you spend here.

Welcome aboard, Steve.
Lots of knowledgeable folks around and the occasional maelstrom of silliness. Fsn, a self-described tread-head, lurks at the bottom of one of the deeper ones.

Yep big - very big White cat with black stripes, black ears with white spot on each, and a white tip to the tail, living in Siberia......(Tiger in case you are wondering).

I am confused, I thought tigers were basically dunkelgelb, not black and white.

Hello all again,

I tend to favour NW Europe 1944 but have the vehicles for the late desert campaign and mid war Russia.

I have British, U.S., Russian and German armies, but I draw the line at having correctly uniformed infantry for each theatre.

For CWC I have a mix of mostly Russian and British vehicles and generic infantry types. I can also field U.S., ARVN and VC infantry forces.

Hopefully the pictures will work.

Steve

Much prefer NW Europe 1998 - as I was holidaying in the Rhine valley. Don't think I would have been too welcome in 1944. Must keep away from the Pendraken Time Machine (you were warned this forum gets weird).
