I just tried to read Jon's posts, but the overpowering Cockney accent made it impossible.

Any chance you could type less Cockney, Jon? :twisted:

Only for an hour or is that when they start? How long do you guys play for?

I'm definitely interested. Is parking easy there? Also am I ok with unpainted stuff?

Sorry about the questions but don't want to offend the local gaming etiquette and gamers or get caught short with parking fines etc.

Thanks!

They start at like 3-4:00p.m. and sometimes it has last till midnight or latter. It all depends on whats going on that weekend. Unpainted models are fine. There is also a parking lot with plenty of space behind the store.

Unfortunately i wont be able to make it down there as i am moving apartments this weekend. Ill call some of the regulars there though and make sure people are there for you!

If you type all your posts like that, especially on like the PP or Focus and Fury boards, they will be so entertaining. :mrgreen:

Well I went to AIG as its known locally by the gamers there (the Brew City Gamers!!).

Met some real nice guys - PG Mike Waszak, Ryan and Old Man Geoff. I played Old Man Geoff - Strakhov list 50pts and managed a sneaky win with my Siege list.

Then we went and got some thing to eat together and Mike picked up my check for me - wow. Talk about friendly dudes. I felt very welcome. We had a good time and a good chat over dinner.

Gamers are gamers the world over. We talk the same shite and do the same sort of stuff irrespective of where we are. We even talked about airsofting as well!!

A big thanks to Patrick aka freekittens03 for pointing me in the right direction. Hope the move went well.

I even managed to purchase a carry tray for my figures from Mike W.

The only disappointing thing was that there were no Hordes Mk2 books in the shop at all and tbh there was not a lot of stock in the shape. Mike W pointed me to Silver Spring Hobby so I will be taking a drive there tomorrow to get the Hordes M2 Rule book.

Yeah AIG does not stock much of nething but people seem to like to game there. But Silver spring hobby is an amazing store that litteraly stocks everything from PP.

Went to Silver Spring (formally CAV gaming) on Sunday and had a long talk with Jeff Thompson there.

Bought my Hordes Primal Mk2 rule book and some MIG pigment fixer.
