What ho, one and all!
My name is Martin and I live in Mid-Devon in a little village I like to call Much-Piddling. I am one quarter (approximately!) of a small group of war-gamers named The Gentlemen of Much-Piddling. I am the youngest of the group (only by a few months) and I am approaching my mid-sixties. The other chaps are positively ancient by comparison. Two more of the Gentlemen are members of this forum, Vagabond and Hu Rhu.
Here is the Mission and Vision Statement of said Gentlemen:
The foibles, pettifogging, quirks, idiosyncranicities, waffling and hyperbole of four charming, sophisticated and erudite gentlemen of distinction, who rise above the hoi-polloi and riff-raff to bring a touch of style and class to wargaming.
As you will probably have guessed from my soubriquet, I am a Terry Pratchett fan, although my favourite author for fiction is P. G. Wodehouse.
I bought Wings of Glory some years ago and have had a massive amount of fun with it. Played lots of small solo games and a couple of larger games with Vagabond. I am currently collecting Fokker Dr.I’s and as most of them come from the Duel Packs, I have a few Camels too. I am certainly not an expert, so looking forward to learning a lot here and getting to know some of you.
I hope you will forgive my rather eccentric style of gaming and I want to post some AARs in the future. I have one to post soon, starring Sub-Lieutenant Roger Toastrack RNAS, which I played some time ago.
