Hello from the Bluegrass State

**KentuckyBristle** · 10-09-2014 19:58

I've been a fan of X-Wing Miniatures for a while now, but a friend just got one of the WW1 duel packs and we played it last weekend. It seems really great, and since then I keep looking up Wikipedia articles on WW1 aircraft and pilots. I have yet to buy any WoG products, but I am shopping around and trying to decide what to get. It's not a question of me liking the game...it's a matter of figuring out how to get a little extra dough to buy it with.

I have been enjoying browsing this forum, too.

Welcome from Cape Cod.

We're all to glad to help you get some planes!

Scott from California posted this earlier today...
If anyone is looking to fill in their collection with some significantly reduced priced planes Coolstuff is having a sale. All of the WoG sales can be found on Page 4 WWI (middle bottom of page) and Page 5 WWII (biplanes only)

I just did a search for ARES games on their site. Starting with page 2 you'll find lots of nice planes, especially those at the clearance price!

**KentuckyBristle** · 10-09-2014 20:07

Thanks! I have been looking at CoolStuffInc on and off all day...

Alas, my first post, and I think I stuck it in the wrong sub-forum. I am sorry.

Mark,
Welcome from the Northwest... Well, a bit farther than that, but not much. Vancouver Island, Canada.

You aren't far away from the Buckeyes, and there is lots of players there.

If you spring for a Gold Membership, there's a banner for the Louisville Flight in my Banner Album for you: Signature Banner Album.

Hope you enjoy the camaraderie here on the 'drome.

PS: Thanks Darryl [predhead] for the spell check.

On behalf of the pilots based over the pond here in the U.K. welcome to the Drome Mark.
I am sure that you will get more than enough advice on what to buy and where to obtain it as soon as your fellow Americans start their day.
Rob.

Welcome from Cincinnati. We do game on occasion in Dayton, but that would be a bit of a haul for you. Regardless, you are more than welcome. Our next event is on November 2nd. Click the link below to get to our Facebook group.

Welcome aboard!

You'll have a great time here, Mark. I'm a newbie myself, and I love the site. I also happen to have the basic set for X-Wing but have yet to play it, and the only extra miniature I've gotten beyond the set is the Millennium Falcon. But I love the miniatures and was excited to find it similar to this game. THESE miniatures are just lovely, and I've purchased WAY more than came in the basic rules set (seeing as the one I got had NO minis in it...

Have fun on the Forum - and get some WW1 planes sooner rather than later!

All the best,
Matt Materne

Welcome to the Aerodrome, Mark, from here near Norwich in the United Kingdom.

**KentuckyBristle** · 10-10-2014 18:59

Thanks for the kind welcomes, everyone! I just ordered a Sopwith Snipe and a Fokker D. VII from Cool Stuff Ink. I know...no damage cards, range ruler, or rules come with them, but I will do my best to deal with delayed gratification.
