General plaudits for Helen go here. I'd love to put "Great job!" in each thread, but I'd end up copy and pasting the same thing a dozen times. I suppose we can use the specific threads to ask specific questions.

Let me kick off: Hooray! I'm completely sold on side theaters of WWI now. Utterly sold. Too many lovely pictures, great figures en masse, and actual information about the campaigns. I'm just going to have to game this. God wants it.

Yes, I agree. Hooray for Leroy Simpson! For his prolific painting and Teutonic Efficiency he shall now be known as Leopold Simpsonburg.

Hooray, indeed, for the Lady and the Painter! ;)

For once, they make me look sane, since my big load of stuff looks positively well-sized next to her plethora of pewter paraphenalia! :lol: ;)

Hi Guys

Firstly, Thankyou to all for your lovely comments. I'm indeed humbled and greatful that I've such kind and good folk who I take inspiration from.

As always I'm truly indebted to my great friend Leroy Simpson and thanks for his new title - he will get a kick out of that :)

Sideshows of the GreatWar doesn't really attract too many folks. Lon has rectified this and with Mike Owen and other talented designers have produced a lovely range of figures that are always being added too. I'm guilty in asking for more releases of such and such for a particular country:) I'm sure Lon is getting sick of me :lol:

As you know some of you have also been prolific in this area and I thankyou too for showing your figures, models and adventures to us folk.

What you have seen sofar of my collection is the tip of the iceberg - so to speak and sorry for the pun :oops:

I'll take some more photographs in time and additionally as I get some new painted figures and models from Leroy.

A Pete has indicated if you require information about anything I'll try and assist you. You are free to PM me if you so wish.

Take care, stay safe and good gaming. :)
