Potentially 2 takers from Wellington - the timing is not good with The son & heir's school having it's 125th Jubilee at the same time but I think I have evaded my responsibilities!! We have a few things to sort out. Do either Captain Chook (ccook72@gmail.com ?) or Valleyboy have an email address or ...

I'll be in thinking/scheming mode ... possibly for a few days.

As a bonus it would sure be nice to meet Valleyboy in the flesh after bumping into each other in so many forums.

The weekend sounds great. I am so bitter that it was not held while I was in the UK!!

But then I have quite a few years of gaming and, most importantly, reading under my belt and am happy to construct my own armies. I prefer to play wargames than play maximise the army list. While I often enjoy looking over arm...

Thanks Barry

Any hints as to which particular elements of the 'trade press'? Some of us are a little divorced from the wargaming mainstream, eg. New Zealand.

Obtained my copy over the weekend when we visited the neighbours - a long story but we aren't living in our home at the moment as someone else is!! 8) The original envelope was totally torn on 3 sides but some postal service somewhere had repackaged it all in a plastic bag. A very sumptuous looking ...

TMP can be akin to an unruly school yard. Egos, agendas and blabber mouths can run riot at times. Is it the anonymity that brings out the worst in some people 'over there'?
