Fame at Last?
The new Miniature Wargames dropped through my door yesterday, so as you do I flicked through to see if there was anything that struck a cord; sometimes there isn`t anything specific in an issue and whilst i usually read it all anyway, the mag sits on the shelf for while until I`m board :)
Henry had quite a bit to say in this issue what with his change of personal focus within the magazine from designer/editor to just editor. But also the fact that his partner in crime Neil Shuck has moved on to pastures new.
I read the editorial then moved onto "World Wide Wargaming" to my surprise this blog gets a mention!! and I quote -
"We open this month by highlighting the online activity of Richard Baber, well known for his work with the Society of twentieth century Wargamers, a regular reviewer in these very pages and sometime contributor. He has, in fact, been responsible for opening my eyes to a number of less well-known conflicts in North Africa, especially the Rif War. The Blog is full of charm, enthusiasm and clearly a deep knowledge and love of the areas in which he chooses to game"
Frankly I am stunning and humbled by this, I had no idea people actually read this (Pete, Neil, Will, etc accepted).
Put a big stupid smile on my face all evening :)
Nice one, Richard. His comments are spot on, too.
ReplyDeleteFunny I never thought about others actually reading this stuff, it is mainly a form of self therapy :)
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, that may be for the best. You could spend hours on SEO and trying to drive traffic.
DeleteIt's a lot simpler to just write what interests you.
Nice one Richard- well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Cheers Pete :)
ReplyDeleteWell deserved recognition - enjoy it
ReplyDeleteVery surprised, I assumed what I wrote and posted was just for me and you guys were just be polite :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now you've realised that we're not polite?
Delete;)
Nice one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul ;)
ReplyDeletePOLITE! Most of us would have to get someone to look it up for us in a dictionary. Every word of Henries comment is true. This is one of the few blogs I have bookmarked rather than just spotting a post on Blogs of War. Keep up the good work.

PS I feel like most of us therapy may be a ship which has sailed just live with the madness. ;-)
Hi neil, my hobby is therapy, keeps my mind (or what I call a mind) active. Just wish i had the time to actually play more games. Thanks for the kind comments.
