Hello,
I've landed here from BGG (many users talked very well about this forum).
I'm a boardgamer/wargamer player and I'm actually in search of Vassal/PBEM players from around the world to find...
Here I am, waiting to know you O0
Welcome to GrogHeads! :)
Welcome aboard, jayzion80!
Hello and Welcome.
Wecome! O0
Welcome to the Grogs jayzion80. Glad to have you join with the best group of people in the world you never have to actually ever see in person. You all can't actually see me can you? :timeout:

Yes. And I'll ask you again to please put on pants.
He would need to buy a pair first.
In Spanish I think he would say 'no necesito pantalones' - maybe it's similar in Italian.
Jayzion do you play Pike and Shot?
Welcome to Grogheads,
jayzion80! :)

Why? It's not like you're wearing any either.
^what's your point? :P
This guy's in for a rude awakening when he wakes up in a few hours to all this. O:-)

Man, what's up with you always wanting people to have a point when they post? TOO MUCH PRESSURE

He'll get used to it.
That, or run screaming. ;D
Is a loincloth considered pants?
Always wanted to ask, Sir Slash - are those pugs yours?
A loin cloth is pants.
I am disappointed that no one has asked him if he likes gladiator movies.
I think you have to ask if he's ever been in a Turkish prison or seen a grown man naked first.
We're never getting new members from BGG again.
And his position on the enjoyment of inflatable pleasure props.
We've managed to add 18 posts and the guy has only posted once!
One helluva welcome!
This is a full service site.
or one of y'all could offer to play some games on VASSAL with him
He's not been back to tell us what he does play.
Or what his preference in slacks is
I asked about Pike and Shot.
'slacks' :2funny:

What do you expect from a hipster douchebag like me?
Corduroy patches on your 78s.

If he lives near the Vatican, probably missionary.

Welcome!
And ignore those suffering from Pun Disease. Their affliction is tragic. We know they are suffering, so we usually just tolerate them. :-[
Yes, the pugs are mine though they're all in Pug Heaven now. I like gladiator movies and the missionary position. I disapprove of Turkish prisons and 'slacks'. And as a nurse, I have seen way too many naked men. And they NEVER get any prettier. Inflatable pleasure props I'm neutral on-- depends whether they are to be used internally or externally. I am just old fashion that way.
My next dog will be a pug. O0
Bye jayzion80 - at least you tried
Welcome, Jayzion80! We are glad to have you here. What games do you play PBEM or through VASSAL?

Now, now, don't go changing things up by putting the thread back on topic!
I didn't. I don't PBEM or VASSAL ;)
Pugs are great. They're a small dog that doesn't eat, bark, or fart too much. And they don't drool. Usually. Great companions and in the interest of staying on topic, they don't PBEM or VASSAL either.
What an unexpected welcome guys...3 pages ;D!!!
Maybe I haven't understood well the parts of this thread regarding putting or not the pants, but actually I have my pants on!
Well, to tell you a little of my story (for the people interested in!)...I run a gaming club where I live, but I'm the only one fascinated by history and wargames, the others play only boardgames.
On those days I'm searching for wargames opponents (for playing the ones I know and for learning someone new) and PBEM or Vassal seems to me a good way for reaching my goal and meeting new people from around the world!
I don't live near the Vatican and I'm not like it very much as an institution 8), I'm surely not the average italian guy!
And what else...I've never played before "pike and shot", but I'm a fast learner, if someone has the time for some explanations of the system.
I'd be delighted if someone of you will like to invite me for a game on Vassal or elsewhere!
Cheers from my snowy country!
Ps: please be patient with my written english ;)
Welcome - from the UK ;D
You're still here - you passed the first test
When your doorbell rings and an odd looking tanned gentleman with a goat under his arm is stood at your door - this is your second test

It's better than some of these guys that are supposed to be "native" speakers :)
My apologies..I thought "pike and shot" was a tabletop wargame not a pc game!
I have still to try Field of Glory 2, this evening maybe I'll give it a try!
Anyway I'm more a tabletop wargamer kind of guy...using computer devices (as Vassal or email) only for need!

Ahemmm....I'd be myself an english native speaker, but I speak only italian since I was two, so I can read and listen without problems in english, write and speak is somehow more difficult... :(

That's about where my German is :)
Jayzion, welcome to Grogheads. This is a fun bunch of wackos.
You should be happy to be overseas. The initiation rites to join in the US are pretty unusual. Something to do with the comic book character, Aquaman.

What part of Italy are you from?
Yes I know, strange people the Americans, but usually they're very kind and a little less wacko than the bunch here ;D
I live in the northern part of Italy, on the Alps, near the border with Austria...the less italian place of all Italy!
I bet it's beautiful there. I've always wanted to visit that region of Europe.
We've always encouraged him to do so.
Jayzion I think you will find several here to play Field of Glory II with, and Pike & Shot if you decide to pick it up.

We've always encouraged him to do so move there.
FTFY >:D
If there are women gamers there with huge...tracts of land, count me in.

Ja, ich bin ein Welschtiroler! O0
By the way I hate that kind of hat...I'm not an average italian and I'm not an average tyroler either ;D
Thanks again for this heartfelt welcome!
If you pass to Italy come to knock at my door and if you want we can arrange some playing sessions!
I must begin to mess around in other subforums here on Grogheads!
Welcome!
Any time you're looking for a fight in FoGII, just let me know.
I tend to lose a lot for reasons that may have to do with my desire to hurl troops at other troops with mad abandon.
