New GHQ Room (*Several Pictures*)
« on: 31 January 2014, 09:42:21 PM »
We found a new home that we love.  While overall a smaller home, it does allow me a larger room for my hobby.  Here is my new room, I call it my "GHQ."  Please note the flag is a reproduction WW1 era flag.  Has nothing to do with politics.  I still have some unpacking left to do and am still working out how to store things with the space I have.  The 40K pictures will probably be leaving with my son this weekend.  I have some nice new WW2 prints to put up in their place.

My first thought was "You can't fight in here: this is the war room!"

Seriously though, I think many a man secretly (or not) wants to have a little museum of his own. Kudos!

History viewed from the inside is always a dark, digestive mess, far different from the easily recognizable cow viewed from afar by historians.

Nice! I have 'the Toy Room' and shortly will be getting my own studio shed (no idea what I'll call that? lol); excellent inspiration,though my bits and bobs are either interwar or Fairbairn and Sykes ;)

Very nice, I'll be round on Sunday for a game.  ;)

Don't fret about the flag, you live in a free country and can hang any flag you choose.  8)

True, But you can't just post pics of stuff containing nazi symbols on the forum (which isn't the case here as it is an imperial flag)
for a list of prohibited symbols in Germany check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strafgesetzbuch_section_86a

Looks great from here. It is filled with a good mix of gaming genres and eras so as to inspire any enthusiast. I hope you can get some great games in there before too long!

I hope you be able to follow your lead in having a gaming room myself as I settle into a new location.

Maybe he refers to the Iron Cross, which, IIRC, was instituted in the Napoleonic Wars by Prussia.  :?

I believe it was in reference to somebody saying you could hang any flag you want, Zizi was probably just putting a slight proviso to that. The Iron Cross is of course perfectly fine.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Very nice......with 4 children, 7 - 18 years old I have long realised my chance of a dedicated room with any space is a far off dream.....
