Hi!

What is your name?

Peter Ramos

Where do you come from?

Born in New York City, currently living in Puerto Rico.

What is your age?

36 years old.

How long you been wargaming?

Tricky question, long ago, it wasn't even called that, I'm not sure what it was called or defined. But since my first memories are that of playing with soldier and have battles with made up rules, I'd say around 30 years.

What is your favourate GW game (apart from Epic of BFG )?

Absolutely no other. Its epic or death}

But I do play 6mm WWII as well. I've cut back a lot as I have grown older. The answer to this question 5 years ago would have been a long list.

Anything else you wanna say?

Wow simonhaines, you been playing longer than I've been alive, impressive!

For the record.....

What is your name?
Paul Townsend. Yup - I've even given you the "T."! I figure since I've traded with half of you I might as well tell the rest

Where do you come from?
This is a question which the doctors are apparently finding hard to answer at the moment!. I live in Surrey, UK but have had an unfortunate semi-permanent residence at St George Hospital in London lately :-:

What is your age?
Is the number of years I've been alive. Which happens to be 20........

How long you been wargaming?
Since I was 6 so 14.5 years already!

What is your favourate GW game (apart from Epic of BFG ?)?
At the moment the game of choice for my regular opponent and myself is LoTR:TTT. I knowmany dont like it but, IMHO, If you want a fun game that can be a hell of a laugh if not taken seriously (at all..) then its class. I would say its a "Beer and Pretzels" game, save I cant drink and dont like pretzels........
If we want a "serious" game, we leave the GW world completely.

Anything else you wanna say? ?
Model, paint, roll dice, shoot and maime (on the gaming board of course!) but DONT TRUST DOCTORS ? :cool:

(Oh, and Tomm, If you're reading this - the Domain transfer is under way ? :;):

)

- What is your name?

I have a Hebrew name, a US (English) name, a Russian name, and probably a few other I don't know about yet. I usually go by Maksim, which is a Russian equivalent to the name Max.

- Where do you come from?

I'm residing in the USA (California), but I make it over to Israel about once or more a year for an extended stay. I've also lived around the world including the Ukraine and Russia.

- What is your age?

That's classified. I'm an old fart. Jimbo and I have a club. Legion-4 is probably a member of the "Old Farts" club too!

- How long you been wargaming?

I started in the 1970's, and I don't want to count how many years it has been. I really didn't get into miniatures until the 1980's and didn't collect a lot of miniatures until Adeptus Titanicus (although I still have big Car Wars and Battletech collections). AT-1 and SM-2 were really great games that made miniatures happen for me.

- What is your favorite GW game (apart from Epic and BFG )?

I'm with Peter on this one. Epic is my game although I play a little BFG (and have a small fleet) and I have a great fondness for Talisman 2nd Edition. I don't buy minis for any of the 28mm GW games although I'll play if someone else lends me an army. I'd love to get some more BFG ships, but money isn't growing on trees in my neighborhood.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Talisman was agreat game, I really lament never buying up the stuff when I had the chance. Especially now, since I think my son would really like it. I like the BFG ships too, but damn are they expensive!

Well, I usually avoid this kind of thread... it destroys the sense of mystic that I try to cultivate... ? ?

?... yeah, exactly! So:

What is your name?

Iain

Where do you come from?

Well, generally around London, but recently moved to Hertfordshire (as you know, BS).

What is your age?

27

How long you been wargaming?

I first picked up roleplay, standard D&D stuff, graduated onto Aliens roleplay (great) and then got bored with the event. Moved over to Rogue Trader (wargames proper) in about 1988, and Dark Future. Space Marine 1st was bought fairly soon after it came out and that was it. Since then I have played most games GW have produced.

What is your favourate GW game (apart from Epic of BFG ?)?

OK, now my secret will be revealed... Advanced Space Crusade. I know, I know, everyone hates it (including Jervis, the creator) but I think that it is fantastic. It took the best bits from Space Hulk and added cool exploration and extra detail. I will now stop, as I have a habit of going on and on about this game, but if anyone wants more info, just ask!

Anything else you wanna say?

Not really. Just that it is great to see such diversity on these boards. Oh, and I am waiting for Tuff to bring out AofK... it is the main reason that I have not bought Warmaster! ?

A lot of this was copied from my enty on epic40k.com, but I have edited and updated

Name: Jimbo aka Felix (as in Felix's Gaming Pages) aka James
Age: rather old but not too old (but can be classed as Old git! or fart!)
Location: South West UK
Games (Miniatures):
Currently playing (now and again)
Epic40K,Warhammer 40K (just got back into after a 15 year absence), Warmaster, Flintloque, Darkest Africa.

Games (Boardgames):
Talisman (best fantasy boardgame ever, probably the best game ever)

Games (Role-playing):
still have an interest in Space 1889, but haven't played for years... once was involved in a major AD&D campaign, which was played more like Monty Python then serious fantasy.... I also GM'd a very interesting Warhammer Fantasy RolePlay campaign.

Armies Collected (Miniatures):
Again these are current armies (I have a wealth of miniatures hanging about, but am trying to sell a lot of this stuff on eBay)
Epic 40K: ?
Orks - this is my major and favourite force for Epic, I just find it an amusing army to fight with and I like the fact the rules reflect this. I am currently converting some miniatures into Heavy Artillery, I also have a large Ork transport on the way and I am thinking about making some Heavy Ork Bommerz...
Imperial Guard - I do like tanks and the miniatures are the best of the lot.
Space Marine - well when you get all those plastic miniatures in the box, you have to do something with them, find them a little too shooty for me.
Warmaster
Orcs and Goblins - they are really nice miniatures.
Warhammer 40k
Orks - but they will be a snow based force complete with ski troops and snomobiles.... ?
Flintloque
Orcs and Goblins (see a theme here?)
Warhammer
Dwarf (well I now have nine figures painted...)

General Info (Gaming Background): ?

I started gaming back in 1982 or thereabouts (I am excluding the stuff I use to do with 1/32nd scale plastic matchbox infantry and Britains guns which fired matchsticks (Little Wars anyone) when I was about eight) so in 1982 I started to play 25mm Napolenics - had some interesting Prussian Highlanders at this point.

After a few years of that I did some 1/300th World War Two microarmour (British force) and the one time my Cromwells decided to drive through a river (and sank) still haunts me to this day....
?
One day my gaming group (around 1983) had just bought a new game, called Warhammer, and tried it and it seemed fun... I originally bought a Dwarf army, but eventually switched to Orcs, building up a nice little army complete with lots of Goblins, lesser Goblins and the odd Pygmy or three.
?
Bought Rogue Trader (Warhammer 40K First Edition) when it came out, and had an Ork force and some Space Marines.

During that time bought loads of other games (esp boardgames such as Block Mania, Mighty Empires and so on...).

Spent a lot of time and money on Car Wars, which is a great game.
?
In the early 1990s I didn't buy Adeptus Titanicus as I didn't like the idea of large robot games, but did buy Space Marine, hated the rule, but loved the miniatures, so I used a slimmed down version of Dirtside instead. ?
?
It was about this time that I decided I didn't like the way GW were heading and started to ignore them (except the odd game of Man o War) and got into more types of gaming including 15mm Operation Sealion and Moderns, Flintloque, and putting on the odd display game here and there.
?
In 1992 I helped to form the SFSFW (Society of Fantasy and Science Fiction Wargamers) and two years later edited there journal, however I am no longer involved in that anymore. At the time I put on developed and ran a range of participation games at various shows across the country, and my personal favourite was a Star Trek variation of Full Thrust. The Star Trek variation of Full Thrust was one of the most popular participation games of all time and won numerous best of show awards, as a result of that I formed a small gaming company to sell the system alongside the main Full Thrust rules. I also started to sell other rules as well, Felix Enterprises was born. It died in 1999 due to that fact it stopped making money...
?
I didn't buy Epic40K when it came out, but my mate Simon did so and said it was a good system.... I did buy it (with a load of miniatures) in the half price sale they had in February (98 I think) and bought more stuff when a local games shop closed down - since then it has been my favourite and most played game.
?
I bought Warmaster when it came out and still have to have a game.... but I like the system.
?
I have just bought Warhammer 40K and are painting up an Ork force, as my mate Simon bought me some minis for my birthday... ?
?
I have a large collection of games (RPG, board and miniatures) but am slowly getting rid of most of it via eBay (which pays for new stuff ?) This includes/included 1/200th stuff, 20mm, Star Wars, Star Trek, 25mm Napoleonics, Moderns, Near Future, Urban conflict, etc, etc...

I've had a few articles published in commerical magazines... some of them are now on my website, this is not a definitive list, can't remember them all!

Arena Watch - Autoduel Quarterly - now available online
http://www.sjgames.com/car-wars/...arena.html
Otaire de Vigneur was published in Miniature Wargames
http://www.felixent.f9.co.uk/art32.html
as was The Battle for Lower Turnstool
http://www.felixent.f9.co.uk/art33.html

I also had a fun "historical" article called It fell off the Back of a Lorry which gave background and rules to a scenario where the Russian Mafia steal a T-92 MBT in the depths of Russia and the local police need to retrieve it... found the manuscript the other day, so will at some point post it to the website.

In Practical Wargamer (now defunct) I had a few articles published including
Sharke's Abbey - The Battle of Elgin Abbey a flintloque article
http://www.felixent.f9.co.uk/art30.html
and
The Battle for Casa Tumoor
http://www.felixent.f9.co.uk/art29.html
this one had a lot of my photographs published in it.

I also had published in Practical Wargamer
Klingons on the Starboard Bow - The Star Trek Full Thrust Story
http://www.felixent.f9.co.uk/art10.html

Wessex - The Second English Civil War was my first article published in issue #43 of Wargames Illustrated, and as I was never paid for that article... I never wrote for that magazine again...
http://www.felixent.f9.co.uk/art27.html

I have also had quite a few articles published in fan magazines and society journals, I also edited a fantasy and SF journal for two years as well as publishing my own fan magazine for a few issues.

As yet I have not had anything published by Games Workshop, though I was a playtester for them at one point...

My website, http://www.felixent.f9.co.uk has been around since 1998 and was originally designed to sell my rules, but at the time it was impossible to sell them to the USA (no PayPal then). I also wanted people to visit and hence the miniatures gallery was placed on the site to attract visitors and I still feel it is one of the best on the web.

As you can probably guess I like taking photographs, and I feel I ain't too bad at it.... ?

Books
Harry Turtledove is my favourite current author, but do like Louis de Bernieres and others.

IT
I see IT as a tool but as part of my job I need to use and evaluate a lot of IT kit, currently testing bluetooth and GPRS (if I can get the damn stuff working)... fave OS is Mac OS X, but spend most of my time using Windows XP...

Hope this is of interest...

General Info (Gaming Background):
I got into gaming in the late 1970s with early Star Fleet Battles, the first edition of D&D, and the many Avalon Hill bookcase strategy games. My first miniatures were Starships from Star Fleet Battles and D&D fantasy figures from Grenadier. In the later 1980s, I got into Battletech and started collecting microscale (6mm, 1/285, etc.) figures for a variety of games ranging from Modern-era armor up to Sci-fi armies. I only collect 6mm scale now so that everything is compatible and I only have to build terrain in one scale! The pride of my collection is my Epic forces, my 6mm urban terrain, and my largely home-made collection of 6mm Car Wars (Autoduel) vehicles.

- What is your name?

I have a Hebrew name, a US (English) name, a Russian name, and probably a few other I don't know about yet. I usually go by Maksim, which is a Russian equivalent to the name Max.

That's classified. I'm an old fart. Jimbo and I have a club. Legion-4 is probably a member of the "Old Farts" club too! Jimbo calls it the "Old Git" club. I'm thinking of calling it the AK club, which is the Yiddish abbreviation for Alter Kocher or "Old Fart!"

- How long you been wargaming?

I started in the 1970's, and I don't want to count how many years it has been. I really didn't get into miniatures until the 1980's and didn't collect a lot of miniatures until Adeptus Titanicus (although I still have big Car Wars and Battletech collections).

Wow, the average age of an epic gamer is about twice that of a 40K player :;):

What is your name?

- Martin Massey

Where do you live?

- Burntwood, Staffordshire, UK.

What is your age?

- 24 (25 in April, If anyone wants to buy me a prezzie

)

How long you been wargaming?

- Only about 8 years max. My younger brother got me into it.

What is your favourate GW game (apart from Epic of BFG )?

- I would probably say WFB (Skaven)

Anything else you wanna say?

- The first game of this type I ever played was Hero Quest when it was released (I still have it too, and all the extension packs like the witch king etc). I never played anything then until my younger brother bought space crusade. It was okay (I especially liked the android dreadnoughts :cool:

) but didn't get me too involved.

My younger brother then bought 40K, but, as he had reading difficulties, asked me to read and explain the rules to him (he was about 11, I was 16). And eventually I was hooked.
