Hi from the windswept Isles
« on: February 01, 2011, 10:25:59 PM »
Thought I'd better come and say hello, since I've already been accused of being an advertising bot.   :)

I collect and game Darkest and Colonial Africa, Ancients, Dark Ages and Wild West in 28mm. WWII (FOW) and just recently in 28 mm. Even have a couple of Warhammer armies.

Been playing for thirty odd years, and the (related) general interest in military history migrated into my current career as an African history journalist and writer. I spent a decade out in southern Africa before returning to Scotland.

Hi  :)

African history eh? You'll come in handy  ;)

Welcome to the forum.
Is there a big wargames community out there in the Isles?

If there is I have yet to discover it. But it is no worse that it was out in Africa.  :)

Welcome to the forum , I ditto Bugsda' s comment about African history.
I suggest you avoid the VSF board , full of nutters.
