  2. Ah, John, you are indeed spoiling us. I guess I'm more interested in the artwork...

    Cheers!

    Welcome to RD/KA! and thanks for joining in. And I wouldn't worry about being mercenary; after all: who'd'you think it is who's been and gone and rustled up all these prizes just to attract attention to the 5th anniversary of his blog? That's hardly disinterested high-handedness wouldn't you agree?

    Meanwhile, might I please ask you to put the 2 prizes you mention in order of preference, just in case that proves helpful. Thanks again for joining in.
    cheers,
    John ;)

  9. Hey John,

    Found my way here from Matt Forbeck's blog. Thanks for hosting this prize drawing. I'd be very interested in the Battlelore expansion.

    Thanks!

    Hello there Jason. Welcome to RD/KA! and thanks for your kind words. They are especially valued coming from one of the founding Sheffield Irregulars.

    In case my readers don't know, the Sheffield Irregulars are a minis painting group which started on fB just over a year ago and has already staged at least 2 events and published 5 issues of its own free to download quarterly hobby magazine Irregular. Irregular is good. It kicks the print-media competition in the hobby magazine business into the can in my opinion.

    Meanwhile Jason, you interested in any of this week's prizes? ;)

    Hi there, and welcome to RD/KA! nix26gonzo. Thanks for coming along to join in my 5th anniversary celebrations. I'm pleased to hear you'll be sticking around for the ride.

    "I think I posted to the wrong blog.. so.. please forgive me if I post it here as well (my apologies)"

    That sounds intriguing. Care to explain?

    Meanwhile, only the Battlelore Dragons and the $60 voucher are up for grabs in this week's draw (you'll get to go for those other prizes in later draws). Would you please care to put them in order of preference? Thanks.

    Good luck in the draw! ;)

    Hello there and welcome to RD/KA!. I'm pleased you've come to join our celebration of the 5th anniversary of my blog. The Battlelore Dragons prize is looking popular. Perhaps you'd care to list a 2nd preference? And don't forget, there'll be 3 more weekly draws before the bumper bonanza is over. ;)

    Badger here will need no introduction to my regular readers; for everyone else: Badger's been my stalwart WW2 tactical opponent for longer than I've been writing RD/KA!. His concerns- that the cry of "Fix!" might go up should he enter and win any prizes, are unwarranted I'm sure.

    As I said on this very post the "draws are all open to all of my readers (yes, that includes friends and family)". In any event, the best way to ensure that I'm not sneaking prizes to my friends is to enter in as large a number as possible. ;)

  15. Hey!

    That signed copy of Ghosts of Ascalon that Matt Forbeck mentioned would be nicer than a bucket of Drake Kebobs.

    Thanks for the consideration!

  16. Hi there Ted. Welcome to RD/KA! and thank you too for coming to join in. I'm afraid that just like nix26gonzo, you've jumped the gun a bit: Matt and Jeff's Ghosts of Ascolon isn't in this week's draw. Be reassured that you won't have to wait too long to get your chance.

    Meanwhile, are there any prizes you're interested in from this week's selection of 5? Don't worry, entry to all draws is open to all my readers: previous winners as well as friends and family. ;)

  22. Hi John,

    Loks like that Conflict of Heroes expansion on Poland is like Paddington waiting for a good home to look after him and love him. Have been following and enjoying your blog since we so nearly crossed swords at the Combat Commander Expo in Brum (your modest tournie champ - James F.).

    Hi there James and thanks for coming to join the RD/KA! 5th anniversary blogparty. To my readers: yes it's true, James is the current CC@UK Expo champion, as some of you might already know.

    And as for that Price of Honour expansion to Conflict of Heroes James? Well you're just going to have to keep your eye on future draws I guess. ;)

    I've been wondering where you'd gone to in recent weeks. Glad to know it was just minor technical problems. And yes, I had no notion of what 5 years online would mean when I started RD/KA!. Then I remember all the work I've put into it and I start to feel like I've been around a long time. Don't forget to try for some prizes in the upcoming draws. ;)
