Welcome and Some Random Thoughts

Welcome
I just noticed that we hit 153 followers here. The latest to join is Christian Rekowski. Thank you for joining. He runs Ski's Wargames blog and is out of Savannah. Welcome.i don't see a blog listed in your profile. Let me know and I will update the post with the link.

Computer Games
I have dicovered a fun game called FreeCol.org a while back. FreeCol is a Civilization type game that has been quite diverting. I have never played it all the way to its conclusion yet. I keep restarting. But it is a game I have kept coming back to for years now.

Haystacks
One thing that I have been looking for is a nice haystack for my East Front games. I have yet to find exactly what I am looking for but what I did just see on Loki's site are some haystacks that don't look cookie cutter similar they way my current ones do.

Someone recommended for me to visit the BigRedBat blog. I found a project that I want to do. He did some fantastic looking grape vines on a trellis. I think these would be great fun to model on the table top. Thanks for the recommendation.

    1. Welcome. I added your link above. Are you part of the Savannah contingent that came up to Atlanta for a game of Chain of Command a while back?

    2. No, I haven't been up to Atlanta to game in quite a while - not since I quit the Flames of War bad habit. I do stop in at Hobbytown USA in Kennesaw when I'm up there but haven't played any games there in years.
