Hi All,

Figured I'd do the introduction thing since I've been posting elsewhere..

I'm Sean and I've been a miniature gamer for a long while. I have some Pendraken in my ACW army and when I wanted to do the ECW, I decided to do all Pendraken.

I used to do WHFB and 40K back in the day. Moved to Flames of War for a bit, noticed it was pretty much the same thing, and mostly decided to stick with:

6mm Sci Fi
6mm Napoleonics
10mm American Civil War
10mm English Civil War
15mm Sci Fi (although I have some Pendraken as well)
15mm Moderns (and near future)

Cheers!

Sean


P.S. After seeing Nik's WWW2.5 stuff I'm tempted to get back into WW2 with some Pendraken 10s.. Just don't know many folks who do much 10 in the U.S.

Looks like an opportunity for you to blaze a trail in the long American tradition!

Hi Sean. Welcome to the forum.

The point about 10mm is that it's a relatively cheap intro into any period. It's an opportunity to shop around and get a feel for what's about, without it costing you an arm and a leg.  :-bd

True.. Most of my gaming friends have units of 10mm ACW, so when we get together at a con, we have plenty to play whatever scenario we want. It's getting them to add yet another scale/army to the already enormous pile of projects we all tend to start. Mostly that they all have multiple FoW armies which they use to play at tournies. Then there is Saga, which they want to do in 28mm.. Although I threatened to do some vikings in 10mm..

Perhaps, when I get back to my pile of FWC stuff, I'll revisit the possibility of doing some WW2 bases..

Sounds like plenty of opportunity for 10mm gaming... I'm still looking for people down here in NZ :(

Welcome, and good luck!    10 mm is a great scale, and I hope you get  some good contacts out of the forum.
