| Hey, my name is Kelly, been in the area for a couple of years but have not found any local gaming clubs until just last week!! I was stoked when my eldest son found the War Pig in Centerton where we live. Met Will today in fact before heading to work.
a little background; I have been into strategic war gaming since the '80s when my grandfather took me to The Game Keep in Wichita KS and I bought Ogre with some Christmas money. It was great but it was missing the toys soldier effect of which I found in Rogue Trader later in the mid '80s.
Of course I played Dungeons and Dragons, Middle Earth, etc... The table top war gaming really got me when I found gamers in the Fort Campbell area while stationed there. I picked up all my old Rogue Trader miniatures and found that they had been replaced with newer and better looking models. I soon delved into "Hero Hammer" it was great for it's time and I was able to link up with some really talented modelers. I soon joined the ranks of Games Workshop's Outriders and absolutely loved showing folks the game systems, and modeling. I traveled a bunch over 10 years for GW, nearly recruited several times but I never took the leap I was afraid my favorite hobby would turn into a chore. I haven't played for a couple of years, the last game we played in Tennessee with army buddies was the last one with one of the best guys around. CW Mike Slebodnik was lost a few months later in OEF, a terrible loss. Since then we moved and the GW stuff has since come out of storage and into the new "Man Room".
I can't wait to meet you guys, I will be able to get to the War Pig soon after I move back to a day shift. Until then I am going to dust off the rules, the mini's, get caught up and hopefully even get the new Warhammer rules and get fantasy going. Until then.
