Hi all

Just a quick post to introduce myself.

First of all i must admit that as yet i do not own any miniatures at all  :o but several of my friends do and have suggested that i look on this site for inspiration!

My main interest is military living history where i am a member of the ww1 Durham Pals (who were present at Smoggycon, Sheffield Triples and the Durham Wargames event) and i also cover ww2. Back in the day i used to do a little modelling too, the usual Airfix and the usual Games Workshop stuff.

So just to finish i am now living up here in Durham and hope to be getting some minatures soon to start me off! However i have some questions about this but i will start another post on that issue.

Cheers

Paul

Welcome to the Forum, Mr 76.

From your posts one assumes you're looking at the WWI ranges? I don't dabble (yet) but I'm sure some of the other members will be glad to give you the benefit of their experience.

They're a knowledgeable and friendly lot.

I may be interested in ww1 but i have just posted in the other area of the forum about what i am considering buying.

I think i may be looking at Napoleonics but as i sat all that is on the other post!

Thanks again

Welcome. I wish someone would come up with playable WW1 dogfighting rules; any suggestions?

Hello fellow new guy.

FK have you looked at Algernon Pulls It Off by the Lardies? I know, its an unfortunate name given their history of double entounders but it reads well and its older cousin Bag the Hun plays well (even solo).

FierceKitty

Ta. I'll look out for it.

There's a free tryout on wargamevault, called air war 1917:

I downloaded them but haven't got a chance to read them yet. You could try, it's free anyway.

What's wrong with waving the models around and making "dakka-dakka-dakka" noises?
