Hello all
I have been a long time lurker on this excellent forum and finally managed to get round to registering. I live in Kidderminster, West Midlands (UK) and am secretary of the October Wargames Club in Birmingham. My only gaming claim to fame (in fact, my only claim to fame!) is that I am co-author of the Principles of War rules. These tend to be played with smaller scales so I don't suppose they will be of much interest here.
I have been a wargamer for 40 years but still have very little painted (and the usual mountain of unpainted lead).
My current interests are Chaos in Carpathia (I have a painted Vampire & Cossack group), Chaos in Cairo (which I have recently downloaded and then lost!) and the excellent Land Ironclads from Brigade. I have just finished all the 'clads and contrapations for my Russian force - infantry next. I would love to use the goalsystem for Darkest Africa.

Regards
John
