Greetings from Canada and Happy New Year eh?

Guest
Born in Amsterdam the Netherlands. Moved to Canada in 1957. Presently reside in London Ontario. Belong to a local miniature wargaming club. Semi-retired health care worker. Teaching part-time at Western University.

With respect to our hobby I've been wargaming since the age of six (that makes 56 years). It started with a Roman soldier that my Oma (grandmother in Amsterdam Netherlands) bought me. In my youth I collected Elastolin and Swoppet knight, later moved to board wargames as these arrived on the market beginning with Avalon Hill's Gettysburg and Waterloo. Many miniatures, boardgames and computer games later ... here I am.

I have reduced my hobby to only a few games and no longer own CMBB and CMAK, preferring the newer CMBN and CMFI. I also do WWI flight sims and enjoy the Total War series.

My purpose in hooking up with this group is to find someone to PBEM the CMBN and CMFI. I am an easy going player. Don't mind playing the weaker side in any scenario. No nationality preference. For me its about doing the best I can with what I've been dealt and enjoying the company of friends.

So, now to get on with trying to learn how things work around here ...
 
Greetings and welcome from the Netherlands :). My mom was born in Canada (Ottawa) back in the 50's and moved back to Holland in the mid 60's.

Welcome aboard Mate! Your bio is quite similar to many others here, I suspect you may have found a new home. Here at FGM, though spread across the world, we are our own Band of Brothers. Loyal to our club and it's members, and ready if the need arises to stand together in adversity. And though we may disagree on politics and religion, our flame wars are generally of the polite variety.

Welcome here and I wonder have you attended any Miniature game clubs? Specifically have you attended Hot Lead in Stratford Ontario?
 
Welcome aboard Willem.
London is a nice part of Ontario to end up, my wife and I know it well both having gone to school there. Myself at lowly Fanshawe College, while my wife graced the halls of your Western. Ahhhh Western girls...;)

Yes, I attend Hot Lead regularly and used to be a regular GM putting on Wars of the Roses scenarios. Missed last year but will return this year and put on a WWI Wings of Glory game.
 
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. Two of you have already contacted me and we are playing some games. Really great.

Thank you for the welcome from the Netherlands. Where in the Netherlands are you? I haven't visited since 1977. Care for a game of CMBN or CMFI?
