<p>Started into gaming with Panzerblitz (AH) 1969 as a young lad.</p>
<p>Miniature collection started in 1971&#8230;.to date the painted collection numbers into the tens of thousands+&#8230;generally in the larger 25/28mm scale. Napoleonic 25/28mm collection alone almost at 25,000 painted miniatures from all nations, the major powers, including the Ottomans down to the smallest 1790&#8217;s Reichsarmee city states. Some 15mm miniature collections for TYW, ECW and ACW armies. Lastly have a large WWII 20mm Flames of War (FOW Ver3.0 MRB) based collection, and some 1/3000 modern naval.</p>
<p>All started with a Victoria Station (London) news vendor purchase (in 1971) of John Tunstill&#8217;s booklet <em>&#8220;Discovering Wargames&#8221;</em>. Was travelling from London to Hastings on the southern coast of England. Book cover below:</p>

<p>Periods of interest include;  Ancients to Dark ages (25/28mm using WAB 2.0 or Clash of Empires (COE), 15mm for TYW, ECW, and ACW. Horse and Musket period well covered with WSS &amp; some SYW (25mm), French Revolution to late Napoleonic wars (25/28mm), Other favorite periods are WWI (Wings of War 1/144th), WWII 20mm or 1/72nd using core FOW Ver3.0 MRB rules / many supplements, and finally, a collection of 1/3000 modern naval.</p>
<p>Terrain collections to match the requirements for period battles from B.C. to the modern era. Check out the AAR blog reports for photos of the terrain and miniatures in action.</p>
