What an overwhelmingly positive response, thank you all!
I'll order that boxed set on Monday, and probably pick up a Gotha from the local hobby shop on a lunch hour. Even if a Gotha isn't all that practical, it's such a cool model I have to have it.
It looks like our forum Admin is running a game at a nearby Con on Labor Day. I don't know if I'll be able to make it (work commitments) but it would be nice to get an intro game in.
I must admit that the idea of pre-painted miniatures seems to be so easy that it almost feels like cheating. It will be a lot easier to get folks from my group playing with this. As it is, I'm more used to having to commit to a project, then spending months building and painting before I get a game in.
That said, I'm no stranger to WWI wargaming. This is from a recent game I hosted; if only the 28mm figures worked with 1/144 scale...
