Title: Hello from Ohio!
Post by: mikedemana on 31 March 2011, 11:59:21 PM

Hi,
A couple days late in introducing myself -- my apologies.  I've been a miniature gamer for more than 30 years.  A big chunk of that was playing 15mm Ancients in the various iterations from WRG.  Up until the last couple years, I considered myself an enthusiast of DBA Ancients.  I've burn out on it for the most part, and play it only about a half dozen times a year, now.

My latest enthusiasm is in 25mm skirmish gaming, particularly using the Ganesha Games engine which began with Song of Blades and Heroes.  I like the fact that each player's force is composed of less than a dozen figures, usually.  It makes it much easier economically and time-wise to paint up forces and start playing.

In that vein, I do Dark Ages, post-Apocalyptic and am now painting forces for 17th/18th century Native American clashes.  Next up is Pulp gaming, which I recently purchased a boatload (for me) of miniatures for.

I posted some pics of my native Americans on the boards earlier:

I definitely like the vibe of these pages, and the creativity of the posters boggles the mind...!

Seeya!
