About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

100K Prize Draw - Day 1

Well, having reached 100k page views, I needed to get some prizes for my giveaways so after work today I headed down to Orcs Nest to see what they had.

What's in the bag?



I'd decided on doing 5 prizes to be given out over 5 days. I managed to pick up 4 of them today - the other prize (which will be tomorrow's) will be slightly different. You'll just have to wait and see.

OK, the rulesy-stuff:

1. You must be a public follower of this blog
2. Each draw will be open for 7 days and then the winner will be chosen at random from all entries
3. Every comment on the post will count as 1 entry in the draw
4. Linking to the draw on your own blog will earn you an extra 5 entries for the prize in question
5. You can transfer your prize to someone else if you wish


Without Further Ado - Prize 1



A box of 28mm plastic WWII Late War British & Commonwealth Infantry from Warlord Games. The pack allows you to make up 25 figures with various weapons and includes round plastic bases and decals. This would be a great prize for anyone considering Bolt Action, Operation Squad or Chain of Command.
