First Post on my new Blog!!!!

Good day!

After months of thinking about it, I've finally decided to create a blog, rather than relying on my Facebook page as a means of displaying my works.

On this blog, I will be showing off my miniatures and models, talking about various cigars I have smoked (warning: there will be mention of lots and lots of Gurkhas), and other cool things I've done.  I will also, on occasion,  discuss my progress in the game World of Tanks, and things involving 2nd Amendment rights.  It could be argued that the US Government named a department after my three favorite things: Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

To tell y'all a little bit about myself, I live in a small town in North Alabama, where I earn a living at the local supermarket's produce department. I go to school at the local community college.  It sucks, but it was easier and cheaper to get my basics done there than pay double or triple at university.  I'm going for either a Master's of Arts and Sciences (Teaching) or a teaching certification in Social Sciences, with a minor in Literature.  I want to teach history, government, economics, and literature to kids on the high school or junior college level.

I play Mechwarrior: Age of Destruction and am a Galaxy Commander in Clan Mutant Sea Bass.  I also play Battletech, both small and N-Scale.  I have two fleets in Dystopian Wars, one for the FSA and one for the French.  I fight mainly against Prussians, Antarcticans, and Russians, but my group has gained a Blazing Sun player and another FSA player.  Finally, since I got my dad into Flames of War with a set of King Tigers, I have been slowly building up a later war US list, based around M24 Chaffee light tanks, and featuring men like General Patton, Creighton Abrams, and Audie Murphy.

Out side of miniature games, I love Halo, and lived in Fallout 3 and New Vegas for about a year.  Here lately, I've been stuck in World of Tanks, since I've literally been waiting for a WW2 tank game for my entire life.  My screen name is Broadsword08, and I'll gladly platoon up with anyone up to Tier V, or anyone who is making the M24 grind in the M5 Stuart and doesn't want to go it alone.

So, that's enough about me.  I'll begin posting some images and projects within the week!
