Title: Hi from tiny little Belgium
Post by: Jessica on 08 March 2024, 09:21:21 AM
Hello everyone,
I'm passionate about the history of my country, Belgium.  It happens to be the crossroads of many European wars...

I'm discovering miniature wargaming, and the possibilities with 10mm miniatures are great.  I plan to start with a battle very close to home, the Ardennes!

See you soon!

Welcome, Jessica.

Ardennes, eh. 1914, 1940 or 1944?

I guess that question proves your point about Belgium being the crossroads of many European wars!

I too look forward to seeing what you come up with.

The forum is, in the main, helpful and knowledgeable so feel free to ask for advice, help or inspiration but be aware that thread derailment here is pretty much a given. If you ask and the thread vanishes into the weeds before you get an answer a gentle reminder is normally all that is required to get us back on track.

Cheers!

Belgium - the Poland of the west!

In as much it is a way for Germany to invade...  :D

Belgium, the Cockpit of Europe. (More in the blood sport than the pilot sense, regrettably.)

Welcome, and good luck with the project. There are a lot of very, very clever people on here who will be glad to help with ... well everything. History, painting, scenery, what size spanner you need for a Tiger II on a Tuesday ... this lot know it all.

Photos of your progress, please. We like photos. :)

Welcome! And thank you for hosting so many interesting events in your lovely country for us wargamers. Plenty of good games to be had from the Ardennes in 1940 and 1944, for sure. Not to mention a notorious scuffle in 1815.

Personally, as a 19th-century big battles guy, the battle of Hasselt in 1831 is on my to-do list.

Hi Jessica, welcome to the forum.

It's mad, but can be helpful and fun.

Why do none of them post anything then?
