Airplanes Anonymous... Definitely and without a shred of any doubt...
The alcohol just helps things along...
You know, drinking milk does not solve problems either
"Fallen" is not the correct term, it implies a fixed destination, WOW/WOG-WWI/WWII have no such place, you are truly stuck on the event horizon, falling forever like the rest of us, kind of like the other flies stuck on the flypaper wondering how long we will have to wait before our legs drop off and we will be free . . . my WWII count has surpassed my WWI collection-which is still growing . . . I had a fleeting hope that one day I would have or have made every plane flown in each war, only to be drawn into the endless cascade of proto-types and might have beens . . . folds of time, space, probability and infinity, all is growing lighter and darker at the same time, looking at molding in dark matter next . . .
Silly me; I thought AA stood for Aerodrome Accessories.

You have made n excellent start on your collection. You have tied me on DOW, FFTS and R&A sets. I have stacks of boxes fro my 144 planes. Welcome into the true light!

P.S. The heck with cookies we drink beer!
Not beer and pretzels ?
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
C'mon Tim, beer and cookies will go very well with a drop of RUM !!!!!!! Yo HO HO and a bottle of rum
Shirley that's the other dark side Trev.

Wait until you find your first 1/144 F-Toys/Sweet/Café Reo/Zvezda and others to fill the void not covered by ARES.
The ships are so slow compared to the aircraft that some people are referring to it as Snails of Glory Tim.
So you can acclimatize to the idea of playing it very gently.

Not only that Tim it but allows you to get your sea legs and then Rob can introduce you to his Malta fleet after that there's no limit.......Star Wars.....Flames of War......Battleships......Ludo....Snakes and ladders...... than the men arrive in the white coats
OI!
I already have sea legs (having worn out my 'A' and 'B' legs, and may soon be moving on to 'D' legs....................
I have played six or seven games of Sails of War, and I reiterate I WILL NOT BE BUYING IT!!!!!!!!
NO SAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I already have Rob's Malta fleet, and the Italians, in 1/3000 scale (no WGS Med ships for me!)
I already have more Full Thrust minis than I can ever use, and heaps of Star Trek minis (no Star Wars ships for me!)
I already have several WW2 armies in 1/285 and in 1/300 scale (no Flames of War for me!)
Battleships? - I have loads
Ludo? - I'm a black belt (also in Origami!)
Snakes and Ladders...................................now, there's a challenge (must resist!)
I AM a man in a white coat! (at work, anyway).
Oh, by the way, did I happen to mention
NO SAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trev -
Ok no more banter
but if you do decide to change your mind:
This might help
So when you getting Sails Tim ?

No - still not buying in..................................
Tim
Stick to your guns. Wait till the new Oars of Glory comes out.
Rich
I try not to participate in OAR-dinary games!
Tim
No doubt after escaping the benches, they lived ex ordinary lives!
Rich
Excuse me for barging in again, but I'm tired of sculling around. I will not be thwarted so easily.
I am afraid that I will now have to take sterner measures to ensure sales of Sails to you Tim. So do not jib at the idea, but accept our broadsides, with a beam on your face, because you know that eventually you will keel over and bow to the inevitable.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Oh....oh.. OARS of Glory - I was going in a whole different direction for a moment there
I have a cold - I'll blame it on that.
Enough of this 'jibe talking' - Tim, Baz, you are not alone.

WingCo, I <Cape> Fear you're mizzen the Point; I deck-clare I can't afford to take the plunge into another game, no matter how mast-erful your attempts at pun-ishment!
I figure(head) I'll just stick to planes - that's the quay to happiness. I have avast collection to complete. Knot that I don't appreciate your enthusiasm.
I have the solution for your little problem:
Enlist at the Anchorage as Sailing Helmut
Just need to separate your personality a little bit...
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
I think Tim needs only some further teasing at Donnie in September and his convertion to SoG will be ensured.
What about establishing a prize for some achievement and let him win a SoG expansion pack (a frigate)? Then the gamer in him will surely smell the blood. and ARES sells will sky rocket.
