Title: Greetings (aka: Howdy) from Texas
Post by: Doug E on 22 November 2023, 09:42:46 PM: Well, you got the name and location, what else is there? Oh yeah --
My wargaming experience began with Blitzkrieg (a board game) a few decades back and never went very far. Then recently my interest was revived and I was trying to decide between Napoleonic and English Civil War. My dilemma was solved when my son gifted me a regiment of 28mm ECW/TYW and the Pike and Shotte rulebook. Then he gave me a bunch of other figures. Now I've painted several hundred (or is it several million) little army guys for that conflict.

Also,
Bloody Broadsides - Napoleonic Naval Warfare.

Waiting in the wings are the following - still in the boxes:

- Warlord Games Stalingrad set (WW2 in 28mm)
- " " American Civil War starter set in "Epic" scale

Also.
- Some misc. 15mm American Civil war and Revolutionary war to which I have applied some primer.

Something else I'll be painting as a gift for my son (shhhh, it's a secret)

AND my latest fascination which I haven't purchesed anything for yet - African Bush Wars. I'm wanting to go with 20mm but can't find a good source in the USA. (Purchasing from overseas is problematic, something to do with my bank card not working for overseas transactions. I'm probably on a watch list because all my conspiracy theories turned out to be true.)

- I found the forum while searching for more information on sources for Rhodesian minis, etc, and what rules to use.

My mate Flatpack (aka Bob) is into 20mm Rhodesia.
Keep it quiet, but I do owe him a farm for that. ;)

No doubt. But I could probably someday soon be a contender in the "most unpainted miniatures" category.
