Bumpy take off but now I'm ariborne

New pilot from Middlesex. Inspired by the WW1 display at Warfare 2018 to have a go at Wings of War. Brought on a bit of nostalgia from my youth playing the old Avalon Hill boardgame Richtofen's War!

This forum certainly has a lot of information and ideas.

I've done a lot of figure gaming and a bit of modelling. But up to now it's been all at ground level. That doesn't mean I have any affinity for AA guns and machine guns!

Have managed to get the rules and a fair selection of planes so planning my first proper game later this week.

Welcome from Oz. I am sure you will enjoy your games. Lots of friendly and smart people here to help if you have any questions as well.

Greetings from the sunny Space Coast. Good luck in your first sortie.

Hi Ian, and welcome to the Drome now on behalf of the U.K. Squadrons.
I have answered your PM at more length, but just want to take this opportunity to officially wish you the best of flying weather, and an invite to the Mess for a few jars and a chinwag with the other pilots when they get back from Ops.

Rob.

Hi Ian, welcome to the 'Drome!

Do let us know how you get on in your first dust-up (mine was a debacle, being rammed by my wingman on the second card, then shot to pieces straight afterwards!).

Have fun, and always watch your Six!

Welcome to the Aerodrome from snowy Maine across the pond.

**Ian S** · 12-18-2018 03:53

Thanks chaps. I'll look into the Doncaster event next year. I'll also look out for you at earlier conventions like Salute.

Welcome to you Ian, from a rather wet Bristol today.
I was on the Sails table at Warfare so I hope to meet you at a future show

**tikkifriend** · 12-18-2018 05:21

Bienvenue from a damp Breton hamlet. Now everyone will know what to get you for Christmas presents.

Welcome to the 'drome Ian from a soggy East Sussex today, if it's within range come down to Beachhead at Bournemouth in February.
