New member from Scotland

Good Evening Gentlemen (and of course ladies if any are present)

I was inspired by my excellent game at Vapnartak yesterday to join the forum and was very pleasantly surprised to see what a vibrant online community exists here.

My wargaming interests are pretty extensive but I hope to start to play more Wings of Glory.

I am a member of Falkirk and District Wargames Club and we can always host games on a Monday night if anyone is interested in coming along. Alternatively I don't mind a bit of a drive for a game.

You can find out more about me on my blog http://leadwarriordavek.blogspot.com/.

I look forward to meeting some of you and, with any luck, getting some games in against some new opponents

Dave

Welcome Dave from the Midwest!

Howdy from Kansas, Dave. I saw some photos from Vapnartak here at the 'Drome and it looked like a rousing fun time. Glad you could partake!

Welcome Dave, from da'an sa'af in Middlesex.

Hello David and welcome.

**gully_raker** · 02-03-2014 19:22

G'day David & welcome to the 'drome on behalf of all the pilots who fly in N.S.W. down in Australia.

Great bunch of International pilots land here & you will soon find some players in your areas.

**Teaticket** · 02-03-2014 19:30

Greetings from Cape Cod.

Welcome to the Aerodrome, David.

Welcome to the Aerodrome, Dave, from here near Norwich.

Hello Dave, and welcome to the 'drome from here in Kent

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 02-04-2014 00:19

Glad to see you found your way to this thread Dave.
I expect that the rest of the lads will inveigle you into the bar before too long, but don't get involved in any of their drinking games if you are on dawn patrol.
Rob.

**Baron Rolf** · 02-04-2014 01:48

Welcome to the aerodrome Dave

**Rabbit 3** · 02-04-2014 03:38

And welcome from somebody a bit closer to home.
Now I`ve got somebody to share a single malt with in the mess!

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 02-04-2014 03:58

Dave welcome from your host at Vapnartak. Glad you took the leap as I know you told me you've played the game before. Busy making plans for Carronade and hopefully we can confirm shortly that we can make it.

**Dave Knight** · 02-04-2014 04:01

Thanks for the hearty welcome

Robert - where do youdo your gaming?

**Rabbit 3** · 02-04-2014 04:25

I`m pretty informal really, usually just in friends houses when we can find the time for a get together though I turn up at GEAS occasionally, particularly their conventions.
I`m not a member of SESWC though I`ve done some gaming with individual members in the past, just never got around to joining since I rarely get free time on Thursdays.

**Dave Knight** · 02-04-2014 04:35

Robert - If you fancy a game sometime let me know - although I would be relying on you to provide the kit as I don't have any as yet

As stated above Falkirk on a Monday may be an option, though it may be a bit of a drive for you

**Dave Knight** · 02-04-2014 04:39

Neil

Sounds good - I am sure you would go down well

**calm** · 02-04-2014 05:43

Greetings ! Welcome from Brazil, Dave !

**Dave Knight** · 02-04-2014 06:02

This is certainly an international community

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 02-04-2014 08:12

I have been known to, unfortunately flames are usually involved or the dreaded boom card.

Welcome to the 'drome Dave from a Sassenach in East Sussex (and another FoF fan -pics in my albums) - always good to see people inspired to join by a show game !

**Attila57** · 02-04-2014 11:25

Welcome from Italy! Welcome to the 'drome!

**Ducky** · 02-04-2014 12:54

Enjoy the drome!

Welcome from Holland

**Boney10** · 02-04-2014 16:30

Welcome Dave, from Bristol, I lived in Kinross for a while worked at the Golfball just outside town. See you in the mess for a chinwag

Bit of a problem there as I don`t run a car anymore!
So I`d be reliant on public transport to get me there though buses/ trains are pretty frequent.
A few years back when I was involved in LARP activities I used to be in and out of Falkirk all the time for gaming purposes but these days, without a car I find It just more awkward and expensive to get about.
Kit wise it wouldnt be a problem since I`ve a good sized WOW/WOG collection plus a good few `unnofficial` planes, all packed in KR boxes for easy transport.

There`s a very good chance I`ll be turning up at Carronade though.

Welcome from the land of perpetual snow storms, Illinois, Dave.

I see, on your blog, you just received SoG. Have you joined the Anchorage - sister site of the 'Drome? If so, what is your username there? If not, please join us; it would be great to have you aboard. http://sailsofglory.org/content.php

**Dave Knight** · 02-05-2014 08:07

Hi Eric - I think you must be confusing me with one of the other new recruits - I haven't played the naval version as yet - Dave

**Brambo** · 02-05-2014 08:09

Welcome to the Drome Eric, nice to meet you.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 02-05-2014 08:41

Will the real Eric, Dave, or Sparticus please stand up, or shall I just have another G&T?
Kyte.

I see what happened. I was looking at your blog, and I saw a link about SoG. I clicked that and started reading, thinking it was still your site. Check out the Anchorage and game sometime; there's a lot of fun to be had.

We have a can of the following in our kitchen. I think we'll have it this week in your honor.

Thanks Eric - although I am English despite living in Scotland I will take that as a compliment

**7eat51** · 02-05-2014 11:01

As well you should, Dave. We now share the same skies.

We have friends who travel to Scotland to visit their family. They introduced us to Haggis. It was love at first bite.
