Having admitted to depression and anxiety, kind of get where you are Chalkie. Keep up the good fight.

Just to let you know that I have been running charity sales for the last couple of years with most of the funds going to Combat Stress (about £7000 so far). I wouldn't have been able to raise this much without guys in the hobby buying things and generally helping out.

Wargamers tend to be a great bunch of guys and are very supportive in this line.

On behalf of myself and other ex forces , a huge thank you for your support , it really does make a difference to peoples lives.

If you haven't started anything at all yet the League of Augsburg and the American War of Independence are two superbly sculpted ranges.

I love AWI , probably my favorite period
But Iam thinking about war of 1812 in north America or Zulu war.

Welcome back Chalkie.

Since you've been gone we've been trying to find out how old Techno is, but carbon dating only works for about 50,000 years so we're pushing it.

Afghan with Dragons is Soooo last year, Dahling. "Wormflame Kabul" was a mere flash in the pan, and the 1846 expansion pack "Khyber Dragon" was a complete flop. No, the next big thing (believe me) will be fantasy armies based on signs of the zodiac - and ducks.

1812 (without dragons) sounds fun though.

Haha, 1812 might be OK but need to get an idea on how many
Battalions and what size, should he good though.
