Hi Everyone.
Just discovered you as Stuart`s lads race at my Scalextric club at Studley. I will nip in tonight or next week and say "Hi !"
I am an historical wargamer. I started the hobby thirty years ago whilst serving in the army. I was a Tank commander on Challenger main battle tank and a Senior Gunnery Instructor at the Gunnery School, Lulworth. Besides running my Scalextric circuit I am a Battlefield Guide, organising trips to Europe and mainly covering D Day and the Normandy campaign and Operation Market garden. I also lecture and assist in research areas for Television and Film makers.
On my wargames CV I would highlight previously being a manufacturer (Britannia Miniatures) and I created and organised two wargames shows - still going strong - Battlegroup South at the Tank Museum and Battlegroup North at Elvington.
Periods I play and own large collections , always for both sides, including 15mm ECW, 28mm AWI and Napoleonic Peninsular and masses of 20mm WW2 . I have recently completed a set of rules for Plains Wars in 28mm .This is a card driven system , fast and furious and lots of fun. I am currently working on 28mm Great War ( limited to 1914) and 28mm Zulu War ( I have already covered this years ago in 20mm but love the Empress Mins figures).
For the last twenty years I have been wargaming in my garden in my workshop, 26 feet by 16 feet `Man Cave`. Will pop up some piccies.
My attitude to the hobby is non competitive, helpful where I can be and love the banter and social side of this great hobby. I don't understand apathy in the hobby which is why I left Earlswood club some years ago. I believe in the strengths that a club can utilise to enjoy this awesome hobby and I will help anyone .
