Hello from West Sussex
« on: 31 October 2013, 04:31:14 PM »
Hello chaps,

Thought I had best say hello having been a lurker on LAF for a while and now having signed up.  What an inspirational group you all are.

I've been wargaming for more years than I care to remember ( and I am still rubbish at it ).  I am currently rationalising my collection in order to concentrate on just a few periods.

Currently not a member of a club, I am drifting more to back of postcard type rules with a view to just having fun pushing a few toy soldiers around and chucking a few dice. I tend to concentrate more on trying to make the games look pretty and paint the figures to the best of my ability.

Looking forward to being part of the forum.

Cheers

Johno

Hi Johno

depending upon your West Sussex location, you may or may not find our club in Petersfield convenient https://www.facebook.com/BlackHoleWargamers - we are meeting tomorrow, but unfortunately I won't be there as I will be at the BLAM in Woking, but you would be most welcome to pop in

I love all forms of wargaming and model making, provided it is in good taste.

Hi Johno,

I'm another West sussexer, whereabouts do you hail from and what's your particular modelling bent?

Regards,

Kev

Hi guys,

Many thanks for your replies.  I am in a village between Arundel and Pulborough.  Currently going through a rethink on my gaming as I have sold a lot of figures recently.

Now drifting towards ECW,  Medieval (I have a Norman Army and starting to increase my Saxons and W of R) and SYW which is in the early stages.  Of course being a typical wargamer I am bound to get totally side tracked by virtually any new stuff ! I also have a liking for some of the board games around these days such as Command and Colours

Matt, many thanks for the offer, if I can get over to Petersfield one evening I will look you up.

Cheers all

Johno

Welcome to LAF Johno.

May you have a long and merry stay with us.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

Hi Johno.  Welcome to the madhouse.  I belong to a group of "mature gamers" in Chichester.  We game on a Tuesday evening if you're in the area.

Hello Johno,
A shame to see you down in East Sussex, as your philosphy definitely chimes with my view of our hobby these days. With me though, I think its just 'cos I'm getting old. Welcome to this terrific forum.
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious!!
