Just a quick note to say hello. I have recently played a few Sudan games with another forum member. So have decided to have a go at some more 19th Century conflicts in 10mm.  Just have to decide which one....

Yes quite a few gamers in Shetland but not many doing 10mm.

From a fellow Cadet, a warm welcome to you Mikey (watch out for the rest of them; they're all mad! 8-})

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Is the Napoleonic Wars a 19th Century conflict contender?   :D

Good to see you've caught the 10mm bug!

Cheers, Other Mike

I don't think it will be Naps. A toss up between Russo Turkish or Paraguyan. Dabbling in the Sudan meantime.

Hi Mike, welcome to the forum.

Don't worry, the forum members make up for the madness in terms of friendliness, knowledgeability, and supportiveness :-)

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 Mike welcome aboard... evidently someone else is from Shetland too  :-\.

I knew all that waving of 10mm stuff under peoples noses would have some effect eventually  :D :D :D


Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

mikeyboy

Thanks again chaps for warm welcome.
Steve I have ordered some Egyptians to see how my eyes stand up to painting them and some some sample packs.

Most excellent... Esther has ordered my Christmas surprise from Pendraken - I don't know what it is though...But as I hadn't added any Sudan stuff in. I was going to add in another Dervish army pack but thought that I probably had enough. (says him who is thinking of ordering some North west frontier riflemen to act as different skirmishers)
You do of course realise that I am going to have to move now..I used to be the furthest north in the Uk on the forum and now you have that honor ;D ;D ;D
