As the title suggests, this is the first post in this blog. I would like to briefly lay out my reasons for blogging, and the direction I see things going in.
But first, introductions.
Like most wargamers, my name is David (although I will answer to Dave, David, and "Hey Kid, Move"). I am fresh out of university with a degree in history. I am fortunate enough to work approximate to my field, but I will be looking to go back to school in the near future. That might be bad news for blogging, but I will cross that bridge when I get to it. In the mean time, I will try to get as much in as I can.
As far as my reasons for blogging are concerned, it really comes down to my desire to share my work. I suppose in the past I have been somewhat of a "lone wolf" hobbyist. Now that I am out of school I would like to change that, and become more involved in the historical wargaming world.
This blog also gives me an outlet to share my various projects and wargame-related ramblings. I will give much credit to the members of my
The content of this blog will likely be exclusively historical gaming. Sci-fi and fantasy have just never struck me (aside from the occasional Star Wars kick, but that's really a samurai-western anyway).
I do not want to promise something and then not deliver, but here are a few things that will DEFIANTLY be happening here:
- After Action Reports
- Modeling Techniques
- Gaming Resources
- Book Reviews
I have decided to kick things off by uploading some of my Sharp Practice-related files to the Smoothbore Resources section.
Last but not least, I would like to give credit to my core wargaming pals: Misters DA, DC, GK, & KJ for always playing along. I am sure that as the AARs start rolling out, you will be hearing more about them.
With all that said, I welcome you to my blog!
Since this is the first post, why not play the post horn?
