Hi Rusty, whereabouts in SW London are you? There are a few 10mm players in the Kingston/Hampton Court area. Our club meets on a Sunday afternoon if you fancy popping along for a game

Welcome, Rusty.
If you've been lurking for a while.....You'll hopefully be used to some of the madness already ! ;)

Welcome to the forum, Rusty. The great thing about 10 mms is that they're a cheap way of exploring various periods. If you're undecided I'd go for the newer ranges - LOA, Napoleonics, ACW, Mongols etc. Some of the new sculpts are works of art.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Hi Chaps,
many thanks for the welcome!

Hi Sandinista, I am based in Southfields near Wimbledon so close down the a3. Be interested in popping down.

Fierce Kitty, I have read many of your posts regarding Atecs, which I believe is all of your posts :D, Yes I would be interested in jumping in with Aztecs.

If I was to start 10mm from scratch again I would go with a samurai army, really colourful, cool little banners and you can have some fun little skirmishes with them!

Ignoring that rather silly last post, I have to point out that only women find me irresistible.

This wouldn't have anything to do with his espousal of the Aztec cause, would it? I thought you'd decided they weren't worth doing?
