Hi everyone!
My username is mickeytheone, though perhaps I should have borrowed from P.G Wodehouse and given myself the title 'The Oldest Member', since I reach my 83rd Birthday at the end of August. Don't tell me I'm not the oldest member! I hail from Tyneside in England, but live near Birmingham. The username recollects a nickname from schooldays.
Haven't played any wargames for the past 30 years, but was a keen fan as my son grew up and we had many great games together, mostly ECW and WW2. How I wish WoW or WoG had been available then, but we had a lot of fun with the board game 'Richtofens' War.'
A little time ago I decided to start wargaming again, so recently have been painting miniatures and gathering terrain for the Dark Ages game 'Saga', and am awaiting delivery of Wings of Glory WW1 planes, accessories and mats. I intend to fight as the RFC at the time of 'Bloody April' in 1917 using the clever Solo Rules of Richard Bradley (a fellow Tynesider, I note) - and as the Saxons against the dreaded Vikings in their raids on Northumbria circa 850 AD, incidentally.
I hope to tempt my son back to the wargaming fold, and initiate his 10 year old son in the gentle art.
I wish you all happy flying and safe landing,
mickeytheone
