Thread: Chicago Suburbs

  1. #1

    Default Chicago Suburbs

    I got the game on Steam, and then proceeded to buy the Rules & Accessories, both Duel packs, and a couple single plane packs. I'm weak.

    In the Elgin area. Have yet to play anything tabletop yet.

    Welcome Erik, from Akron, Ohio.
    The in-person game is great also. Glad you found us here.

    Oh, hey, missed a new comer. I'd say your range of purchases is a good one. If you're looking to expand your collection, be very careful about eBay, sometimes you can get some real good deals, but often the asking price there is ridiculous. Better as a general rule to check the sale/wanted/trade thread. Also be sure to check out the files section, for scads of add-ons, "unofficial" aircraft, house rules, scenarios, etc. And if you haven't yet, post your UN for the steam game here: https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/sh...ghlight=handle , there's a bunch of us from the 'drome.
    And lastly, (welcoming head bobs) from the lizard here on the east coast.

    Hi sorry to butt in but I am in Downers Grove, just down the street from Aurora. Would love to connect and play sometime. Also, could you give me the details about the convention in Rockford? I would love to attend. Thanks so much!

    Hi Kevin and welcome from the other side of the pond, here in Dear Old Blighty.
    I'm sure your fellow pilots will be along soon to say hi.

    Rob.

    I expect that'll be the 'Rock On gaming convention', Kevin. The local chaps attend & post reports on it.

    Hi Erik,

    I'm just up the road from you in East Dundee.
    I would put on a game sometime at my place if I get enough interest from folks, 4 or more people. Probably won't be able to do this until November sometime though.
    Michael puts on some good games down in Aurora and he's running some sorties up in Rockford the first weekend of November at Rock Con. Welcome, and hopefully I'll see you at Rock Con?

    Would anyone on this thread be willing to meet up at Games Plus in Mount Prospect for a day of WOG 1? I would be willing to book a table and coordinate if I had takers. Leave me a message.
