What ho! I'm a transplanted Brit, old to wargaming but new to 10mm.  :) 

I got my first batch of Pendraken minis a few days ago for AVBCW, and I like 'em very much. Nice clean castings and easy to paint. (Wish I'd opted for the scale for other periods before now. Ho hum...)  ;D

Welcome Poggle, although in reality I am very new around here as well and new to 10mm though not a transplanted Brit.  By chance are you in St Louis, Missouri?  I'm in Kansas City, Missouri just down the road from you.   :)

Yep, St. Louis, MO.  :)  I like KC. We paid a visit to the World War One memorial & museum last year. A great place, full of wonderful exhibits.

Syr Hobbs

Yea the WWI Musuem was the best I had ever seen until I visited the USMC museum in Quantico, VA.  That is an amazing museum.

Well if you ever make it out to Kansas City again, my wife and I run a convention called Recruits twice a year. (September and March) 

www.recruits-con.com

My wife and I are teachers and we put this show as a fund raiser for the school game club.  We get great games, nice attendance (+550) and good vendors every year.  Oh and the price is right.   : )

So what are 10mm game are you interested in?  I'm starting 10mm ACW.

I was able to get over to KC a couple years ago and attended Recruit. A great event, and I'd like to visit again sometime.

I'm currently building up a couple of VBCW forces in 10mm, starting with infantry, and will add support weapons, vehicles and cavalry, time and funds permitting.
