Hi I'm looking for a game in KAF Afghanistan Warhammer 40k or just Warhammer fantasy I got a few guy in my company that play put we would like to know if their are others around us.

I think a few years ago people were putting up fliers for Warhammer/40k and even had a regular gaming night. I don't remember if it was KAF or Bagram, though.

Anyway, might be a good idea to throw up a flyer up on a few of the actual boards around the base. I'm sure you'll get a few people interested.

Post in the chow hall.... More Joe's use that area...Be Safe

Hey howsit! Miss getting in games with you buddy! Hope the real war is going okay for you. Keep your head down and stuff... not that thats a problem for you... you know.. cuz your short!!

I'm not over there but I have a buddy out at FOB Dwyer that might be up for playing. He doesn't have an army there but I'm sure he'd be down for throwing some dice.

I will be heading that way here in the next couple weeks, not sure where I will end up. If I end up in KAF I will be sure to throw you a PM.

Mainly a Fantasy player, but if there is more 40k I would be down for that.

I dont know were is fob dwyer is at but it would be crazy to drive to get a game in. Genom when i get get home I'll get a game in or two. Grix if you do go to KAF hit me up.

will do.

Hey fellas, first time post here at dakka, been creeping for a while though. Just got over to afghanistan and am stationed in KAF, brought my blood angels with me and will be looking to get some games in. Wondering who all is over here and when/where you guys play. Thanks.

Where the hell were you guys when I was over there?! I would've risked the drive from MSG to get my gaurd a game on some down time. Damn. Good luck Fellas,, Stay safe!

Yeah, there was only one or two players in Leatherneck when I was there. Painted most of my Templars on duty, though. Actually got a counselling for it, haha.

I am here . . .

Ha ha, I have paints, and bits for scratch building. . . Damb, I came back from RNR and took most my stuff home with me. Interesting you bring up BA as I have the complete starter army here in the box.

If you are interested you should send me a line, I am over by the Monty DFAC nere the new Pizza Hut if you are new.

Try the UK cafe down by the UK EFI facilities - as of late 2010 it had stacks of wargaming boardgames (not miniature) in there which anyone could play.

too cool guys i got my daemons, but no codex. im at the ROB's

Man, I hate to ask in a thread like this [if you can direct somewhere proper, perhaps?] but how do you manage to ship out Warhammer, of all things, to Afghanistan? Are you allowed /x/ amount of personal belongings? Are you all front-line troops or fixed at base?

Sorry for the questions! I've always wanted to know.

During my last deployment I just had it mailed to me when I got where I was going. I didn't bring enough to actually play with though, I was combat arms and only had time to paint a little bit here and there. That said, you could probably put it in your stuff, we had big tough boxes we put in containers and there was no weight limit, just space and my boxes weren't really full.

Note: This is for US Army, despite my current location. I have no idea how guys in other armies do it.

Damn I am jelly of you guys. I never get games in when I am deployed.

I pick up some when I go home and have some shipped in care packages from home.

I live in the ROBs too. I am a contractor and have only one lead and 4 coworkers, so no one checks me for S#$@. But I spend about 60% of my life out of a back pack, coming home to a bed and a wall locker with less then 1500 pts of mismatched toys.

I'm in KAF too and normally work till I drop but things are starting to slow down so maybe I can get a game in sometime. I've been here for a couple of months so i have the rest of the year.

Hit me up on ROSHAN

cool I got a nercon, tau, daemon and IG army's over here, but waiting on the 6th ED book to come in. were would you like to get a game in like around 500 point games.

Well, I'm here most days working from about 9am to about 10pm. The days I have the most time is on Sundays which most of the people don't start wroking until about noon. I have a conference room we could actually set something up in.

I'll send you a PM with phone numbers and what not and we can arrange something.

too cool my day off is sunday what side is conference room is on? I was thinking we could play at brit coffee place too.

I stay in the South Park area, in the RLBs behind Monti. I work over by the TPE Offices. Check your PMs.

As ex-military myself, thanks to all you guys for serving. Hope you all come home safe, and happy gaming!

Post, I used to make semi regular orders to Wayland games when I was in Iraq and provided that you don't order things like modelling knives and that it isn't too heavy it will arrive a day or so after it would in the UK. I painted an entire army during my tour and I bought the entirity of it and my paints while I was deployed. All UK overseas bases have something called a BFPO address, effectively a postcode,I think that the Americans use a similar system.

Is there anything wargames related in Bastion?

There is a front line?? O.o News to me.

Don't mind the tasteless joke.

I was at the Asadabad firebase in 2004 and had a dreadnought shipped to me. Unfortunately I was a little "busy" in a STA platoon and ended up selling it to some British gentlemen, and was for the most part unable to get any gaming in during my time there.

I'm not in the Marines anymore, but I am glad to see that you guys are finding ways to entertain yourselves with Warhammer overseas.

Keep up the good work.
