  1. Thanks! Where ya been, Sparker? I've seen a couple posts on The Wargames Website, but not seen a batrep in awhile. I always enjoyed them, from the Napoleonic Black Powder to WWII/Cold War using BKC/CWC.

    You've always seemed to like the 'veteran' connection; check out my "For Some Buddies" post (http://blackhawkhet.blogspot.com/2014/05/for-my-buddies.html) for some Iraq and Afghan pics.

    Glad to see you.

    V/R,
    Jack

  3. Holy crap! Well, aren't I the @#$%... I humbly apologize Al. It seems there happens to be a gentleman that used to frequent TMP and now visits The Wargamers Website occasionally that calls himself Sparker and uses that same insignia. Apparently I assumed there couldn't be more than one guy on the internet using that as a forum symbol, I'm sorry.

    In any case, welcome Al! It's good to see a fellow vet, and we seem to have covered some of the same ground (2nd Gulf War). As a direct descendant of your nation's finest service, I welcome you to kick off your boots, relax, and take a look around.

    V/R,
    Jack
