My first post.
« on: 05 February 2013, 09:08:43 PM »
Hi all, right then where do I start. I am afraid that I am not the best with computers (in fact I’m about as much use as a handbrake on a canoe) so I am still reading through the help on here to learn how to upload photos. Once I’ve managed that I’ll have to learn how to photograph my figures, as what I know about photography you could write on my thumbnail with a three inch wide crayon.
However, I promise to sort these failings out and get some posting done. Hobby wise I have collections in 28mm Napoleonics, Sikh wars, WW2, Darkest Africa and Dark Ages. 15mm Ancients, WW2 and Colonials.
I came late to the hobby really (30 years old) but I’ve been at it now some 21 years. Just decided to ditch the rat race(I mean work) and taken early retirement. This is going to allow me to do more of what I like best, wargaming.
My favourite rules are “The sword and the flame” and I use these for most periods, but for my Napoleonics I use Neil Thomas’s excellent rules which I have heavily modified for my own use.
I am based in the South Wales area of the UK, and have my own war games  room/shed, so if your nearby give me a shout for a game.
Cheers for now Jeff.

Hi and welcome to the forums. I hope we will see some of your projects here soon :]

As for uploading photos, it couldn't be easier. Just find a free image hosting service like imageshack and then after uploading your images just insert the image's URL between [IMG]url[/IM] tags in your forum post and voilà!

Welcome to the forum. Have a long & meery stay. I doubt I'll get a chance to come game with you. My family came from Wales but that was a few centuries ago. I'm a bit removed from there now.

Welcome to LAF.

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!

Thanks for the welcome guys, I will try and get some photos done as I know how much I like to look at other people's figures on here. Thanks also for the advice regarding photo bucket etc. Jeff.
