Newbie to all this
« on: July 23, 2012, 04:09:05 PM »
Hi all,

My name is Lluís and I live in a small village lying half way between Barcelona and Tarragona, amidst a landscape plentiful of vineyard all around (just for your envy  :D)

In the last twenty years or so, I've played nearly any kind of playable stuff: RPG, board games, even a few collectable card games... but I'm especially fond of miniature gaming --mainly historicals.

As such, I've played Ancients with WRG 7th ed., ACW using Fire & Fury as well as Johnny Reb III, WWII using Flames of War and Battlefront WWII, or SCW using Spain in Flames (a FoW variant).

Now I'm 100% devoted to War of the Spanish Succession gaming, because I'm currently running a long term campaign, whose battles are played using Beneath the Lily Banners.

As for my activity on the Net, I'm currently running a few websites or blogs, more or less related to miniature wargaming:

www.wargames.cat - An old, some 15-years ago portal in Catalan language dealing with games

http://soldadets.blogspot.com/ - A blog showing my figures collections

http://what-if-catalonia.blogspot.com/ - The blog where the above commented WSS campaign is run

http://desperta-ferro-ed.blogspot.com/ - A blog where I post infos and free booklets on WSS

After being fired from the Savings Bank where I worked for the last 25 years, I am currently building a miniatures company of my own, willingly aimed at producing hard plastic, fast assembly vehicles for Spanish Civil War and Inter-Wars. More news on this subject, coming soon!

Best wishes to you all,
Lluís

Welcome, Lluís.  That's a pretty distinguished record for a self-described "newbie"!
