I'm going there this weekend...

Always wanted to visit it actually, is it good?

SpankHammer III wrote:Always wanted to visit it actually, is it good?

The Alamo is very tiny, actually. However, it's still a neat place to visit.

San Antonio is a great vacation spot. Lots to do and see. There's a river walk (with bars, restaurants, shops and "starving artists"), a large zoo, Sea World, and some other stuff. It's also not too far from Houston, which has a lot to see and do.

There's better places to visit in the States, though. New Orleans is infinitely more fun, by comparison.

maybe but John Wayne didn't fight and die for New Orleans

Yes, it is the signature, you can edit it under your profile tag at the top. To quote people, i quote them in the forums, copy the code and paste it in my signature.

Another swede here!
Buying at my FLGS. Sometimes order online when they don't stock something.

I'm from Sweden. It's obvious why there are almost only Brits and Americans on this forum, since it's an English speaking one. There are forums dedicated to other languages aswell, and those speakers keep themselves there, where they can actually understand what's being said.

I'm from Finland.
I get my models from GW or other gaming stores around the city.

Didn't think about that!

Does GW have many stores in Europe and the Americas?

Writing on my phone so it messes up the flag thingy for some reason :/

The Netherlands!

Still surprised theres that many American voters after one day. Double the Brits.

Are most of the Brits on warseer or Bols?

Russia. And we still have 3-feet-deep snow on streets.

Really? Which part of Russia can you get 40k from?

That sucks, It is 65F here in Chicago (19C) Great weather for spring, the perfect temp, I do not have to wear pants anymore.

As for where I game, in the Midwestern USA, if you don't know where Chicago is, you do now.

I am near the Downers Grove Battle bunker.

We have some kind of FLGS who delivers WH from the Moscow, but mostly from other players/traders in wargaming clubs around. Preferring gaming clubs not being shops and vice versa.

I think GW only has stores in Europe, Australia in the US.

Independent retailers are probably all over the world though. Almost every city has a game store, and those usually stock GW products.

GW has a store in all of the country's important cities (yeah, there's more to France than Paris, just don't tell that to a Parisian ), and there are many FLGS as well. Three of 'em within walking distance here, pretty sweet. Speaking of which, that goes for the Eurostar as well... Hi GB !

That's a pet peeve of mine, but I often heard people complaining about not learning anything useful in school... When they could at the very least have worked on their English. I would be missing on so much things if I couldn't speak it ; like you said, you're restrained to your native sphere in that case.

Netherlands here!

Not alot of players in Japan unfortunately. The main games around here happen to be magic the gathering, yugio, and alot alot of people just make miniatures (trains/anime/nic nacks)

We do have a GW store in Nakano but there's no tables to play there. There's also another store in Fussa but mostly play warmachine there. I personally get alot of stuff from mail order either from the US or w/e is cheaper for shipping. End up buying quite a few things from GW. Have yet to try forgeworld but I may try out their keeper of secrets model if I get some more money.

This is an English speaking forum, why is it such a surprise that most people are from English speaking countries?
And the USA's population is 6 times the UK's so the fact that there's only twice as many American posters speaks volumes.

But theres more GW stores in Britain isn't there? Even provincial Tyne and Wear where I live has three stores. Surely not everyone in America has easy access or knowledge of 40k.

Scandinavia (Denmark)

I get my models from GW Copenhagen, various FLGSs and online.

Of course USA, where foot ball is foot ball and were we know we can hold a ball with our hands. Other than that. I shop around my Local store and stores about 45 mins away. Other than that i go to ebay. If i am going to get models off the internet i am going for cheap. Most times i am only looking for certain models so it works out.

Reminds me of something, and it won't even be (too much) off-topic here !
I was wondering, about GW's scheme for Japan (not that they really do marketing...), doesn't the "localization" feels a bit lacking ? When I see 「グレイナイト　ストライク・スカッド」 and the likes everywhere, it looks like they're not even trying.

Pacific North West area, USA. I buy models from my local shop. I don't trust the internets.

I was curious what the nationality diversity level was like on dakka, thanks for the informative poll

I'm proudly Canadian!

I'm proud to be a member of the Commonwealth.

I used buy my stuff mainly from GW, (especially when I worked there! ), but now I buy mainly from the only store in town that stocks various tabletop games.

And "Winter is Coming!"
