I have a new hobby...I spend my days painting my 'Army' then spend time reading the rule books ready to enjoy a battle or two
Pete's Page - CYPRUS SMY HOME
Each player assembles an army of metal and plastic miniature figurines (models) - each usually representing a single military figure from one of the official lists. These armies are constrained by rules contained within the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook, as well as in several army-specific codexes (although with the advent of Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse, players are free to mix troops from different armies). The size and power of the army is determined on a points system, with each unit being assigned a number of points proportional to its worth on the battlefield. Before a game the players agree on how many points will be used as the maximum army size and each assemble an army up to that maximum limit.
Common game sizes are between 400 and 2,500 points and played on tables 4' in width and 4' to 8' in length, but it is possible to play much larger games given time and inclination (larger point battles tend to include multiple players, as well as being played on larger tables). The recent Apocalypse expansion allows for games of 3000 points or more. Games generally run from half an hour to several hours depending on the size of the armies.
Play is divided into turns, with each player moving, firing and engaging in close combat with each squad. Six-sided dice and unit stats are used to determine the results of actions. Each battle, at the onset, is assigned a set of additional rules and a goal (collectively called a "scenario") specific to it. Standard goals range from taking and holding objectives to simply eliminating the opposition, with additional rules including night-fighting and reinforcements. More complex scenarios exist in the main rulebook. Victory is determined either simply by mission objectives or victory points, with points awarded for objectives and eliminated or damaged enemy units.
Some players organize a series of scenarios, called a campaign, where two or more players fight against each other in a number of battles. These campaigns may feature their own special rules, and are typically tied together by a storyline, which might alter according to the results of each scenario when it is played. Every few years, a global campaign is held in which people submit the results of their games to Games Workshop. These results are collated, and together affect the storyline of the game, which is then accounted for in the next rulebook and fiction releases.

Pete said he replied to you. Gosh so many years have gone by. Cyprus is becoming v big for golfers, we live near Tsada Golf course and Aphrodites Hills is not far away, we don't play tho, we fish. When you get your motorhome remember Cyprus is in Europe now and pop in!
Best wishes

Hi Pete,
Great to hear you've done the best thing and retired early. Looks from the website that you're having a great time.
I sold my shop in 2000 and haven't worked since and Ian hopes to retire in the next year or so. We've had an apartment near Alicante in Spain for a few years and manage to go a few times a year which is great. We also plan to buy a motorhome and tour UK and Europe. Our main hobby is golf and we're both members of a local course near Southport.
Sorry didn't reply through Friends Reunited as I'm not a member.
All the best to you, Glynis and your family.
