LimeyYankGames

I'm Andy, a regular over at Consimworld and an occasional visitor to Board Game Geek. A Grogheads member just kindly posted here about the site I run, Limey Yank Games, and it piqued my interest enough to pop over, take a look and sign-up.

I have to admit, I'm most comfortable with the CSW type BBs but I can see by the topics and membership here that this will be a great addition to my on-line life if I can figure it out and become reasonably au fait with the structure.

A little about me. My gaming tastes are pretty esoteric as far as publisher, period, scale and complexity are concerned (though I'm not so keen on overly large rules books)I live in the UK and have been gaming since around the age of 11, with a hiatus from my early twenties until my early forties. Over the past 15 years, my game collection has grown from circa 200 - 1200 - so I think its fair to say I've been bitten by the bug again. This is largely down to Cyberboard which provides the basis for around half of all my current gaming. 13 years ago I established LYG (www.limeyyankgames.co.uk) as a CB file hosting site and I'm pleased to say it has become one of the go to places for folk playing with CB.

In 2014 I had my first design "Toulon, 1793" published by Legion Wargames and I'm now hard at work on my second game "Waning Crescent, Shattered Cross" which covers the 1565 Great Siege of Malta. I'm hoping to see this published in 2017.

They're a little handsy, too.  So, don't mind a pinch to the nether regions occasionally ;)  Oh, and welcome to Grogheads!
