Hello sebigboss79

Best wishes on your new venture, I hope it all goes well with you.

Being a wargamer of 'almost' advanced years the name TTG is cemented in my mind with TableTop Games, the old 15mm manufacturer, which I used to buy from the old shop at Notting Hill Gate (when they were in stock, you had to be lucky to get Byzantines  :D ) They still seem to be producing wargame rules, sometimes.

Maybe you might want to check that there is no conflict with names etc in case the company is still going in any form.

Cheers

Didn't they do "Laserburn" and a range of 15mm SF?

Think I've still got some of them stashed somewhere.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Will certainly do that. TTG - The Hobbymagazine is the working title and I liked the sound of it. There is a few other ideas I need to check but thats also what my advisors are gonan do - they have more resources at hand.

But thanks for the wishes and pointing out an important issue.
Hope you will like the result :D

you can still buy it at www.15mm.co.uk

Yes it was good to catch up with them again and also see the old Asgard stuff there as well  :).

Normal service on the thread will now resume  :).

I'd like to add my good wishes too for the project. But fsn is right - it's a hell of a lot of work.

I feel like I am at the moment.
Thanks for reminding me Steve. :P ;)

I think a single Pendraken centurion will be suffiecinet to cover all FSN.   :)

You're forgetting the effect on FSN of a single Pendraken Centurion!  :P

Hi there I wish you all the best with this new venture,  like other people have said lots of hard work. But I would also think it would be extremely regarding.

Take care

Hi,

Very best of luck with this, have you considered just doing it as an electronic magazine, the financial strain of a printed mag is very high. 

Henry Hyde struggled on with Battlegames as a printed magazine and it nearly made him bankrupt, in the end Battlegames was bought out and then subsumed into Miniature Wargames.
