Hi guys

Originally from Billingham, Cleveland in the North East of England...not far from Pendraken HQ, but left for Singapore for a few years and now in NZ.  I'm looking to get back onto Wargaming...busy selling all my old stuff   So thought I'd join up as I've never used 10mm before and have everything else since.

I'm looking for a suitable period to play but like AWI and 1812, so will probably dabble in this era first.

Any help for a returning gamer would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Paul

Hi... and welcome Paul.
Cheers - Phil.

Thanks Phil, looking forward to getting involved and getting some figures painted up

Hello!
AWI are beautiful, and you don't need too many per side!

That's good news...I ordered my first pack of AWI American Militia a week ago, so thought I'd get the rag tag units out of the way whilst I remember how to paint.

I have Age or Reason, Washington's wars and just bought British Grenadier, so will need to find a suitable basing method to suit these rules....plus at this scale I may start an Imagi-nation or start a totally new period that I've never experienced before.  Don't thinkwe have many 10mm gamers over here, so will need to look into solo gaming options.

Welcome Paul 

Hi there!

The 10mm AWI militia is quite stunning btw, I liked painting mine, and with the large number of poses you will get that rag-tag look for your units.

Hi, Paul, and welcome. Still windy in Wellington?

It's always windy in Wellington 

Auckland's the place to be 

Kiwidave - JAFA and Proud!

It's been forty years since I was last in Auckland. It's probably changed a bit since then.

wind or no wind I would much rather be in NZ - anywhere - than in Billingham!

well done on finding the best scale to use in your come-back - I re-started in 28mm - BIG mistake

so, hello and welcome and ask away - lots of help and support on this forum!

Hi Paul

Awi is great I use British Grenadier and have had some very good games, Currently working on FIW using British Grenadier 28mm base size but lots of 10mm in historical formation will put some pictures up when first unit complete have a good time gaming and welcome to the forum

Welcome on board .

Hi Paul, welcome to the Forum!

Incidentally, my brother-in-law used to work in Billingham, and now lives in New Zealand, so kinda similar... ish... 

Welcome! I got my first 10mm a few weeks ago, and seriously wish I'd chosen the scale earlier. It'll be a nice way back into gaming for you.
