This is Palmers Green calling, Hello LAF-Land
« on: July 05, 2013, 09:36:05 PM »
Hi, I'm Shaun and I'm a Wargamer

The eighties ended with the end of DnD and the beginning of Rogue Trader. A levels got fluffed and work began.... North London Wargames Group and Enfield Wargames Group were found :)

The nineties began with NLWGs 28mm Napoleonics and ended with an 800 Figure commission for Stephen and Matilda forces for the P&S Demo game, in between came marriage and a son and an end to ACW and WW2 re-enacting. 10mm made its first appearance with GW Warmaster figures on staff discount, key timer hours working at GW Enfield :)

The noughties came with the arrival of LARP and new found misery of singledom and long range fathering. Gaming moved to the Minotuars Head and then Ponders End wargames Club, Fantasy, 40k moved over for AWI, Zulus, ACW Armies, painted and sold, repainted and resold.... Repeat until Perry Plastic arrives... Commissions flowed slowly and Bring n Buys found most of my painted armies as trends moved like the winds... 10mm found historically with PenDraken and Old Glory

And finally now... Still painting, still playing, Enfield Gamers is the place and current trends are DreadBall and ACW, still LARPing and still looking for the elusive set of Napoleonic rules...

hello everyone

Shaun, wargames addict

Hi Shaun

I been clean for months (but have a miniature order ready to go)

I was also looking for a napoleonics set and found Polemos' MdE - was just what I was looking for
Don't know what scale you're looking for, but I like it for grand tactical - commanding an army with brigades (~2000 men) as units

Welcome! I was born in Palmers Green - Princes Avenue. Mind you, that was back in 1958... Welcome to the madhouse.
