Greetings from Vienna

[arshak]

Hi everybody,
I have lurked here from time to time but decided to join only recently. I recognize also several members I know of from somewhere else.

I am an Italian living in Vienna since a few years. Started wargaming with 40k many moons ago then I became a historical gamer. My main interest is by far in 20mm WWII, even if I keep on being fascinated by other periods&scales (that I used to game years ago): 15mm Ancient&Medievals as well as Napoleonic (I don’t know why but masses of troops come to my mind always in 15mm…).

Due to working reasons I had a break of a few years away from the tabletop, but now I would like to start again wargaming, also to give a direction to my erratic and irregular painting inspiration… in fact I am looking around for someone interested here in Vienna, and even if I would prefer WWII, I would consider everything. I enjoy well painted figs and I mostly appreciate not merely competitive approach to gaming. In other words, I like campaigns and projects more than the isolated occasional game…but I am flexible..So, if some like-minded (English-speaking, sadly my German is still awful and communication would be rather frustrating) fellow is there, just let me know.

In the meantime I will enjoy the forum, exploring the many threads of interest for me in the various categories and post something of my work as soon as I can!!

Welcome aboard.

Vienn is my family's home on my late father's side. Amazing city. Must get back there soon.

 Let's see some projects then?

Cheers

Hello Arshak, welcome here and in vienna!

The HTT Scene in Austria is pretty active, ranging from FOG to GdB, from Bolt Action to check your six, from muskets & tomahawks to saga, and there are also regular Events for FOW. Fear not, in our Group (and most of the others i know of) the competative approach is non existent, having a good time with fellow Gamers is our Goal (sometimes leading to not gaming at all but having a good Chat). 

Maybe the best way to get in touch with fellow Gamers is the vivat (insert shameless ad):

Hello, welcome.

I may spend a day or two in either Prague or Vienna in December and I should decide soon. Do you want to affect my choice?

[Nikfu]

Both are nice but biased as i am i have to tell you that Vienna is nicer 
Especially around x-mas with all the fancy lighting and the Punsch-Stands.
