Greeting patrons!

It warms the cockles of my tired old heart to see so many of you remembering me, let alone missing me.

I have barely been to the Org since the Opus Magnus that was The Will Of The Senate finished, musta been late last year. That was without a doubt the high point of my years at the Org. When it finished I was a little washed out with TW, and the follow up required more time and effort than I had or was prepared to give.

I got MTW2 at Christmas, but I have played it only twice, about the same number of times as I have played RTR:PE as I attempt to finish my sprawling Bactria campaign.

A change in shift pattern has left me with less free time to do things like TW, coupled with things like my little boy no longer having an afternoon nap (there goes 1-2 hours of peace every day!). That and my wife works from home and so hogs the PC most of the time.

So what little "Suribachi" time I have tends to go on my other passion, scale modelling, or walking in the rolling green hills of Lincolnshire. Here's a little taster of what I've been doing instead of TW.





I'm also a reviewer for a modelling magazine (Scale Aviation Modeler International) so when I get a review kit there is kind of an onus on me to crack on with it.

Whoever remembered I was moving house gets a nice badge, that went very well and we're all settled in now. My wife is also pregnant again (not what I had planned!) and is due Jan 4th.

So again, thankyou for noticing my absence, I'll try not to be such a stranger in future!
