Re: A collaborative historical side-project: El Alamein in 6

Blitzkrieg commander sounds fine to me. I haven't got access to the Flames of War source book so I would appreciate a heads up on what's in the army lists. If you are especially interested in the Maori units in the NZ division I have a copy of "The Story of the Maori Battalion" by Wira Gardiner. I'v...

Re: A collaborative historical side-project: El Alamein in 6

One more thing... Get yourselves psyched-up by listening to Monty's speech to the 8th Army on YouTube. Damn good. They don't make Englishmen like that anymore...

Re: A collaborative historical side-project: El Alamein in 6

Sounds good. I'm in. GHQ are definitely the class act in this scale and I have bought stuff from them before. Their mail order operation and customer service are first rate. One thing though - their vehicles are fantastic, but their infantry seem very over scale. I have some NATO infantry for my Dut...

Re: A collaborative historical project - A discussion

Sorry - didn't read to the end of the thread before I posted. I see you're already down to a final four. Dark Ages - Romano-British etc? I've already got about 30 minis for that period. Failing that, I could give 28mm Napoleonics a go.

Re: A collaborative historical project - A discussion

I'm certainly in for something like this. One of the 'joys' of a big project is that players don't have to assemble and paint complete armies, just a few units, so it's OK to go off at a bit of a tangent from our current collections. Periodwise, I'm up for pretty much anything. I saw Job's mention o...

Re: Arriving in Nagoya September 2016

My word, what a welcoming bunch you are... As for rules, I do like the look of 'Saga', but to my knowledge they haven't brought out a Romano-British supplement yet. The Broken Bayonets group here in KL played a campaign using a rule set called 'Song of Arthur and Merlin', but it was a smaller scale ...

Arriving in Nagoya September 2016

Greetings to all, I will be arriving in Nagoya from Malaysia this September and looking to make contact with fellow miniatures gamers in the area who are available to game and motivate me to sort my life out and deal with my mass of unpainted metal. My interests (at the moment) are mostly historical...
