Hi all,

After playing regular on the TOG AU servers for quite some time now, I thought to join TOG was a good New Year's resolution.
Some personal background . I am 37 years old. I was born in Den Helder, Holland but emigrated to Melbourne, Oz a few years ago.
I have been gaming since I was about 11 . I got hooked on FPS a decade later when Wolfenstein came out. Generally as long as it is in WWII and fairly realistic , I am usually in for it. At the moment I play the FPS COD2 and Battleground Europe most, before that played Rome Total War, Combat Mission, Airborne Assault and IL2 Sturmovich. Weapon of choice is the K98.
Interests:
- German Forces in WWII , don't know why, I just got drawn to the Germans.
- Battle of Arnhem / Operation Market Garden . A Bridge too Far was the first war book I ever read. My parents are from Eindhoven and I also lived for a while where in 1944 were the landing grounds of 101st .
- Scale modelling / Game modding. I've put these two together as I regard modding as a the transistion from my plastic scale models . I no longer have the required workspace for spray painting, etc but I do have a PC so I stepped into making virtual models. I've been working for a while in a mod team for MOH and COD with for Operation Market Garden . The mod itself was never finished due to my emigration but I hope to pick it up one time again. I can do some basic skinning and I have worked with 3d modelling in the past . Hopefully I can pick that up again soon ( another New Year resolution )

Explanation of the name & signature
NIJN = the Dutch name for Miffy the Rabbit which was my nickname during my student years( don't ask) . Combined with -rich to make it sound German. I've started off with Panzer Nijnrich but it shortened to Nijnrich during the years.
"Trotzdem siegen Wir" = roughly "Despite all, we will win". Written on the side of a knocked out German Hetzer tank, located at Bastogne Historical Museum. As I am pretty stubborn....

Anyway enough about me I would say. I hope I can join TOG and to add some value somewhere somehow.

I have read the AUP and FAQ and forum rules etc etc..
