G'Day from Wollongong New South Wales
« on: July 26, 2014, 11:01:34 PM »
Hi Everyone!

Just to introduce myself, I am Sparker. My main interests are Napoleonics, ACW, WW2, Cold War, but I'm also interested in WOTR and Ancients (actually off to a Towton wargame in minutes few at my 'local' FLGS - 'local' being a variable concept Down Under!)

Rules I use, in the same order, are Black Powder, BattleGroup Kursk etc, Hail Caesar. Also FOW but not into competitions. Also we play Maurice and Longstreet at my Uni Clube.

I guess I will fill in my profile later when I have more time, but at this stage that's probably all anyone is interested in!

Oh and my 'Sparkers Wargaming Blog' can be seen here: http://sparkerswargames.blogspot.com.au/

Cheers
Kind Regards,

Sparker

There goes the neighbourhood... lol

Hello Sparker

This explains the oddly impassioned spray in Another Place.

I'm thinking of contacting Scott Morrison about all these refugees.

Welcome to LAF Sparker.

Plenty of inspiration here.

May you have a long and merry stay with us.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!
