The other players were very welcoming and friendly and open to a newbie. Rachel had a great time. She wants to go again.

I agree with others in that the generosity of wargamers never ceases to amaze me. <br /><br />6mm is the way forward in whatever period you name. I'm knocking out some H&R Sassys at the moment...painted 18 LC in about 2 hours. Piece of P**s.

Although I do not know him at all. generous acts like these really do make me appreciate the wargames community and the guys (ok Tamsin and girls) involved in the hobby.<br /><br />I fully condone the 6mm approach.
