    Default Greetings from Brooklyn, New York!

    A belated hello to the forum!

    I am a long-time lurker but recent registrant at the Aerodrome. I am happy to report that Wings of Glory WW1 has swooped me off my feet and carried me off into its sunny skies (puns were most certainly intended).

    My home recently experienced a massive influx of rules, planes, accessories and mats which both alarmed my bank account and delighted four good friends who, over the course of two lengthy gaming sessions, are officially hooked on the tabletop crack we call WoG WW1!

    Peter, welcome to the Aerodrome. Yes crack, in a less deadly form!

    Keep an eye open for Council of Five Nations (in Schenectady) next year as I'll be there running several Wings games.
