Another colonial
« on: July 12, 2011, 07:57:30 AM »
G'day everyone,
Just a quick intro to ensure I don't get deleted.  :o

I'm a long-time medieval / ancient wargamer form southern Australia, but have recently been tempted into Colonial wargaming. Just what I need ... more excuses to buy lead! I'm starting off by buying some pre-painted Colonial Brits, and have some Maori and Zulu winging their way to me as well. Currently, I'm heading down the path of looking at Hordes of the Empire ruleset (I play a lot of DBA).

I look forward to checking this forum out

Cheers

HL

Welcome aboard mate - don't be shy to post some pics when you get those Colonials Brits.

Hi Henry,

Welcome.

I played my first Hordes of the Empire game the other weekend - British against Zulus in 15mm.
It was a enjoyable game with my wife in command of the Zulus. The British won, but it was a near run thing.

Cheers,

Barry
