Reporting for duty.

Greetings all,

I've only just ventured into WoG and I'm already slightly obsessed. I (quite appropriately) have about ten hours of experience and have flown about four sorties. I have a lot of other wargames but could never convince my regular gaming opponents to get into WoG (

). This week I bought both duel packs, to lure my 10 year old niece and wife into gaming, and I'm really impressed with the game and the community it supports.

Tally ho!

Andrew

Welcome to the 'Drome, Andrew!

Your wife and a 10 year old will both certainly push you to your limits - by the time you convince your regular opponents to jump in (and you will!) you'll be more than a match for them!

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 10-31-2016 14:35

Welcome. Keep a look out for us at shows. Usually posted in the UK section.

Welcome Andrew, from Bristol.
Are you North or South Wakes?

Welcome aboard from Doncaster

**BeneathALeadMt** · 10-31-2016 14:51

Thank you for the welcome chaps. Chris I from south wales, just above newport and will be coming to warfare (as long as my failing body allows it

) so hopefully will see you there. I'm struggling with the lack of availability of some models (and that I can't afford everything I'd like

). I have a lot of other wargaming stuff that needs to go and will try and convert as much of that revenue into WoG purchases.

Andrew

Good to have you on the Drome Wingman.
I expect I will see you in the Officers' Mess later, where we can have a good old chinwag over a glass or three.
Rob.

**Walter Nowotny** · 10-31-2016 23:28

Welcome aboard! My daughter is 10 and also is my wing man, and sometimes a blood thirsty opponent! I know you will all enjoy the game.

Welcome from Blackpool - very similar story just starting off in gaming and find people on this forum very friendly and helpful .

**Dirigible** · 11-01-2016 01:06

Welcome, from Newark.
My (soon to be 11) son has been playing since he was about 7, and is more than capable of holding his ownagainst both myself and other club members. So much so, he has already assigned himself his own aircraft! (Nieuport XIII)

**Archidamus** · 11-01-2016 01:21

Hi Andrew - welcome to the 'drome from here in a misty Tunbridge Wells

**Guntruck** · 11-01-2016 01:21

Hi Andrew, welcome from Essex.

**flash** · 11-01-2016 02:32

Welcome to the 'drome Andrew from East Sussex on the south coast, women & kids will punish you so be careful in the skies when flying against them.
If your mates won't play we do have solo gaming alternatives to suggest.

Hi and welcome from Alberta

**tikkifriend** · 11-01-2016 06:23

Bienvenue from Brittany Andrew.

**Vindicator** · 11-01-2016 07:34

Welcome Andrew! I too fly with a younger wingman. (Speaking of Wales, I've been working on a model railroad layout for Ivor the Engine)

**BeneathALeadMt** · 11-01-2016 13:37

Thank you all for the warm welcome, most refreshing and gratefully received. Vindicator: if it's any help a 45 degree slope is as close to flat as anything (that isn't a road, railway or river) gets around here - I'm not sure that will make a good layout for Ivor though ;) . My house was built by the MRCC (Monmouth Railway and Canal Company) in 1851 as the station master's and was the site of the original turntable, it still has a noticable platform (under the grass).

I'm hoping WoG will help re-inspire with gaming as I'm suffering with some hobby burnout (partially associated with mass painting of 1:100 WW2) and it'll hopefully help me lure my other half into playing a few games with me. I'm struggling slightly with a dangerous mix of over excitedness, lack of funds and the general difficulty in obtaining large parts of the WoG range. It makes me wish I'd ignored my friend earlier.

Thank you all,

BeneathALeadMt (BALM)
Andrew

Welcome Andrew from Philadelphia. I know what you mean buy it being hard to find many items for the game. I came into this a little late and I'm trying to play catch up.

**Nightbomber** · 11-01-2016 15:21

G'day Andrew & welcome to the Forum on behalf of all the Pilots who fly in NSW down in Australia.
You are in good hands with Rob (F.O. Kyte) as your Wingco!

Lots of great stuff to explore here on the 'drome & do take a look at the WW1 Solo Campaigns. Great Fun!

**Naharaht** · 11-01-2016 20:22

Welcome to the Aerodrome, Andrew, from here near Norwich.

**WarBoar** · 11-05-2016 21:10

A little late, but welcome to the Drome Andrew if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, as you'll soon find out all here will try to help as best as they can

**BeneathALeadMt** · 11-08-2016 16:15

Thank you all for the warm welcome. My first games with actual opponents were a success with my wife being the only plane left flying in both games (in a DVa and then a Spad XIII), she deviously avoided getting caught up in the frantic central dogfight with the other three planes and repeatedly swooped in to pick off her opponents. My niece seemed to enjoy it (especially being MVR) and Wings was a perfect introduction to gaming. She's often asked about playing Chain of command or other games I play but Wings was perfect as it has honesty aspects and suited her (modern) concentration span (I'll work on the later).

Thanks again and hopefully I'll meet some of you chaps at Warfare.

Tally ho!

BALM (Andrew).

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 11-09-2016 00:25

Many of the factors which attracted me to the game as well Andrew.
Also the fact that you can set it up play a couple of games and put away all in an evening with plenty of time for chatting and a drink or three without feeling rushed.
Rob.
