Hi from Portugal
« on: February 22, 2017, 03:25:20 PM »
Hi,

I've been playing miniature wargames for ages, with varied interests and scales, mainly 15mm and 28mm with the later gaining the upper hand lately (maybe this is related with me ageing and the consequent loss of eye sight  :?).

For me the hobby includes not only the gaming component but also the historical research (if applicable), painting and modelling and the healthy interaction with my playmates (as a personal rule I prefer to spend a few hours having fun playing a game in the company of friends, than to win it at all costs). Real life is competitive enough for me.

I'm part of a wargames association in Lisbon named AJSP. We organize regular tournaments of L'Art de la Guerre and SAGA, together with other external wargaming events, usually in cooperation with entities like museums and town halls. You can find information about our activities at https://www.facebook.com/AJSPortugal/. Most of the information is in Portuguese, which is always a good choice as a second language  ;).
Apart from the organized events, we meet frequently on weekends for occasional games in many periods, historical or not so historical.

I intend to follow closely some of the ongoing topics in the forum, and contribute whenever possible.

Thanks for having me here.

Cheers

I will ask my better part, she is also from your lovely country. I think german could also be useful, when you play medieval stuff and the spains always tell me spanish is the second language in the world  ;)

Thanks for the welcoming  :)

Spanish may be the second language spoken in the world, but portuguese sounds nicer  :D
A portuguese wife is also a good choice and an evidence of good taste. I have one too lol

Bem vindo!

Portuguese is a beautiful language. The fact that you have strange accents and some rather odd expressions in Portugal shouldn't detract from the fact. :D

It's just like the "American" and the "UK" (and all the other native English speaking countries) English they all sound different to each other.  ;D Or Europan Spanish and South American Spanish  lol Everyone has their quirks

 lol

The "strange accent" is a matter of perspective! And you also have your share of cute expressions on your side of the Atlantic!

One good thing about this forums is that we can't hear the accent in the written communications! (although in some cases we can almost smell it  lol)
