Title: Hello from Tennessee
Post by: Napoleon91 on January 20, 2010, 09:10:04 PM

Hello all!
I am new to the Lead Adventure Forum so a quick introduction is in order.

I live in the mountains of eastern Tennessee.

I am a "veteran" wargamer with 25+ years experience of leading the losing side in battle! I mostly collect 25mm Napoleonics and currently favor General de Brigade for playing wargames. I tend to focus on the black powder era and play games set in the Seven Years War, American Revolution, Napoleonic Wars, American Civil War, and the wars of the Colonial era. I have recently begun to focus on the Great War.

I am a new father so I have much less time to indulge in my hobby. I have found that viewing wargaming forums while bouncing your daughter on your knee is much easier to do than painting while bouncing your daughter on your knee! So, I find that looking at all of the fantastic figures and amazing paint work of the members of this forum make an excellent way for me to indulge in wargaming/painting for now.

I look forward to learning from all of you and hope that I have something worthwhile to say from time to time.

James

Nice to meet you, James. I've got some family in Tennessee, and have been there many times. Beautiful state, some great history to see too.

Welcome to the group. I think you'll find it to be a very laid back, welcoming sort of place. Perfect for sharing or venting as the need may arise:)

Welcome to the LAF James. I've got family in Tennessee (Sparta) and always make a point of spending time in Asheville and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park when over there. Beautiful part of the world.
