BCW - lapsed gamer - first post.

[Whassisface]

It's been a long time since I've wargamed and I have to say that the British Civil War stuff has got me motivated to start again.

I've got two problems: I live in East Angulia and haven't a clue who plays what (and where they play it), in and around Suffolk. If anyone has any suggestions of where to go and who to ask I'd be grateful.

My entire collection of figures, so far, amounts to 24 Crusader Miniatures early WW2 Brits. Uhm - would that do for a start? They turned out quite, interestingly brown. I'm not sure I like brown as much as I thought I did, but what the heck, they're done. It's a sign of how long I've been away that the last figures I painted was many, many years ago in my teens with Humbrol Enamels. This lot got the acrylic treatment and boy was that a shock to paint with.

So on to my next question. Since I've got a bunch of regulars I thought of some kind of toff's private army with the above as regulars and a whole bunch of irregulars as farm hands (was thinking of Artizan's Marquis figures).

Would that be good enough?

Oh and I'd post a pic of the interestinly brown brits, but can't see how you attach a file in this here forum.

I have already said hi in your intro post, but I also live in Suffolk and amongst other things I do game BCW. Always looking for like minded gamres, they are a bit thin on the ground in our neck of the woods.

Best advice is click on the link below, register, and say hello in the Edward VIII Cocktail Bar Board - GWP is the spiritual home of VBCW - you will find all the resources and inspiration you need, as well as gamers from all parts of the UK (and overseas).

Glad its got you back into the hobby, what you are doing sopunds spot on, not that anyone can tell you something is wrong in a fantasy campaign anyway :)Yep have to echo Akulas advice, I believe if you have a look on GWP you will find an emerging group gathering around East Anglia and Essex which might be worth getting involved with

Thanks for the info, I shall pop over and register.

Hello Whassisface. Welcome back!
I'm also in the area (North Suffolk) and interested. I dare say Trooper will put us in touch.

Two other live gamers in Suffolk? It's better than I thought.

Trooper has got in touch, so have PM'd him back, thanks for saying hi though.
