Hello from New York! I am very interested in Napoleonic (the 1809 Danube Campaign in particular). I began my Pendraken project only a few months ago, and I am finally getting to my first battles. I am primarily using General d'Armee 2. Thank you to Pendraken for such an extensive 1809 range and superbly sculpted figures!

Hello and welcome.

Agree on the sculpting. They just get betterer and betterer.

Any chance of some photos?

Welcome to the forum. It is always a pleasure to see a newcomer with such a specific interest. As someone who has also arrived recently, I can only say enjoy the journey at a small scale. I hope you enjoy your time here!

Yes. I know. Even as a native New Yorker, I sometimes get lost in neighborhoods I don't visit often.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Greetings from Syracuse, NY. I have a fairly large 1809 collection in 10mm and a much larger collection in 6mm. Just picked up a Wurttenburg army from Leon when he visited Cold Wars last month. Unfortunately we are about 4 hours apart.
Do you go to any of the big NorthEast cons in Lancaster PA? FallIn, Historicon or Cold Wars?
Welcome,
Dale

Hi Dale,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome.

Yes, I have been attending and hosting at the past few conventions. I will be at the Historicon this year, putting on an Ancients game with my brother. Will you be there too?

I had a similar idea and picked up a Bavarian army last month. Working on painting them up now. I am a notoriously slow and diligent painter, so it will be a while until I can put this army on the table.

It seems that we have a lot in common, because I also have a 6mm 1809 collection based for Blücher.
