We use Discord weekly for paint and chats.  You can have the option for just voice if you don't want live video. Super easy to start your own channel. We post pictures of our miniatures, games, etc.  Best part, it's private groups by invite so you don't get all the crap that's associated with Facepalm and Twitter.  It reminds me of a modern version of the old yahoo groups.

Having looked at train prices, £51 return plus taxis in Middlesbrough, plus a total of 7 hours travelling, have decided I can't get to the birthday bash, and that £50-odd would be better spent in the Pendraken webstore....

Yes, I think this is the way of the future.  Distance travelling uses money that would be more effectively used on figures and the time is better used on online using ZOOM or DISCORD.

I'm lucky that we can combine a visit to my sister in law in N Ormesby with a day at Pendraken HQ. If I had to do it by train I would probably have to pass. I did miss Joy of Six because of the rubbish train services running on a Sunday since they rearranged Manchester's rail lines. I can mitigate the prices a bit by booking early but no way am I going to change three times between home & Sheffield, it used to be just one change.

Looking forward to it.

There will be an Antipodean game to mark the official birthday. Pierre the Shy and I will be visiting Wellington Warlords and playing the

Battle of Guilford Courthouse (American War of Independence 1775–1783) in 10mm

We will provide some pictures and a report in due course

Excellent, great news!  You can borrow my teenager if you like, as long as you've got trees and Wi-Fi he's happy to travel.

Hopefully the British will be able to decisively engage the Continentials in the third line this time.....we have fought this scenario twice before but the large force of militia in the first two lines always manages to hold the British long enough to frustrate a co-ordinated attack on the best rebel troops.

This is a fantastically well written scenario for wing scale V&B, while the British must be handled aggressively from turn one they also need to conserve enough to take on the Continentials, a real balancing act.

Really looking forward to this game. God Save the King!        

It sounds like I might be Greene tomorrow, Nathanael Greene

Pfft! I'll be 69 next week and I managed it. A smart young man like yourself should have no problem.


Perhaps a little late to get the gear, account and knowledge required to livestream the game on Twitch, though.

Have a great day!!

Hope to look in electronically at some stage.

Now where did that teenager go?

Best wishes. Hope to pop in between watching rugby matches.

Tried to register on Discord - told me my email already had an account and I couldn't claim the new one! Used another email. All fine.

Then remembered joining Discord some years ago - not the foggiest what for - recovered that account now - I just wish I could remember why I did it!

Have fun all!

Well it's just gone 2am, the shop is stocked, the game room is finished and ready, so all we need now is some gamers!  Don't forget to visit our Discord server during the day for live updates/videos: https://discord.gg/WTYqzCXU and we'll be updating Facebook/Twitter regularly too.

Also, the 30th Birthday Sale is now on, so head over to the website and grab yourself a bargain.  I might have added some sneaky new releases just in time for the sale... https://www.pendraken.co.uk/10mm-modern-764-c.asp  I'll do a proper release announcement after the Birthday Bash.

I'll put a load of pics up of the day once I've recovered on Sat night/Sun afternoon.

Is there a code for the sale Leon?  Or is at automatically calculated at checkout?
Thanks
