    Default Hi!

    Hi all, very nice to meet you!

    I was given a WWI starter set for Christmas and having played it a couple of times, I really enjoy the game but I'm a complete novice and there's only so much I can pester the wife to play! Any suggestions on how to get a bit more out of the game rather than just collecting the planes and playing ever so often?

    Thank you!

    Welcome to the aerodrome Taigo. With all the active pilots in Old Blighty you should be able to link up with some and get some help. It's a great game and will give you unlimited enjoyment!

    Hi Tiago, welcome to the 'Drome!

    Try searching for local gaming clubs, and see whether any of them play, or try to attend a games Convention where we are putting on a game; we're always happy to accept cannon fodder/human shields to help us on the way to Glory , no, seriously, we'll let you in on all our tricks and schemes for more successful play.

    As for "getting more out of the game" do whatever makes you happy; some folks repaint the minis, some design scenarios, some buy books and dive into historical research, others just mine the Drome for all its articles and downloads in the Files section.
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Well in addition to the suggestions by Tim if you have no local playmates then solo gaming is an option - there are a number of options available here in the files: https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/do...p?do=cat&id=63,
    Welcome to the 'drome from a sunny(ish) Dorset Tiago - if you can get to the Beachhead show in Bournemouth in February we'll happily get you in the air and down again..
