Hi everyone!

I'm making the leap from 25/28mm into a more sensible scale lol! My interests are Napoleonics, Colonials, and Ancients (to name a few!).

I'll probably be asking a lot of newbie questions on the forum, trying to find my feet etc - hope you'll be understanding!

Looking forward to chatting to everyone, and making new friends

Steve   ;D

Welcome to the forum

As for being understanding most of us here seem to be getting on in years so get confused easily now, but ask away it will get through eventually  ;)
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum.

My experience here has been that the forum members are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and mad-as-a-box-of-frogs by turns!

As Fenton says, ask away. You may be surprised at the things folks here can help with.

Who is on board Steve, and is this the right forum to advertise the fact?

Dear Mr Kraken.

Are you one of the Wyndham Krakens? I ask from vulgar curiosity, not because I have any claim to the line myself.

I think you will find yourself well catered for by the Pendraken offering, though the new British Napoleonics are, like the Prussians at Waterloo, eagerly anticipated and I am sure, well worth the wait. I am holding myself ready for the clarion call after which I will metaphorically bound on to my charger and dash wildly at the new lines. (That's just a little joke you see, "lines" could be an infantry formation of the period, or a classification from the Pendraken catalogue. "Lines". Do you get it?)

If you're looking to get a little mechanical, might I suggest the post war offerings as being delightful. Korea seems to be an growing interest and we (the raisins in the Pendraken Muesli) are promised Chinese infantry for the period. Much joy! May I also gently mention that the Centurion tank is a gorgeous piece of work.

Anyway, may I give you a hearty welcome to the Pendraken Forum. We are a friendly bunch and some of them are quite well read.
