Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm a relatively experienced wargamer, just
haven't used miniatures, except for the occasional D&D game. Reading different
rules sets isn't a big deal. Playing the game is the thing, of course.
Normally I post a few paragraphs to introduce myself before I start posting in
a mailing list. Here goes:
I live in Plano, Texas, USA, a city just north of Dallas. Plano and Dallas
border each other, and are part of what is known here as the Dallas/Ft.
Worth Metroplex, which is Dallas, Fort Worth, and the surrounding cities. I've
lived here for almost two years, previously living in Dover, New Hampshire for
a little over 15 years.
I am not very experienced with miniatures wargaming. My experience is with
boardgame wargames, mostly from Avalon Hill since the early 80's. As I said
before, I got a copy of FTII, More Thrust, and DSII from my brother. After
looking them over, I ordered Fleet Books I and II and StarGrunt, which just
came yesterday. Now I have more things to look at!
Regards,
Wellcome to the club for the seriously addicted to little lumps of metal, to
which there is no known cure.

Well, yes, there's a cure--you see, if you just get *enough* metal....
Well, there is one awful cure. Marraige. It basically kills all fun.

Then you're not doing something right.

I'm safe as long as the bills and the kids' tuition (all

There is *enough*??? ;-)
26 years, 3 kids, a grandkid, a house paid for in 2 years. Better than average
(particularly in the USA). That's about as right as it gets. Don't believe the
hype. If you believe the hype and the politically correct lies, you are
already planning failure. Women, in general, live in a different world. But at
least she still good for laundry and food.
Trust me, they change with time. Too expensive to get rid of. They don't have
much of a sense of humor. But the kids still are fond of her.
And that is why I game! Escapism!

Beth - planning on topping up her own metal addiction based on birthday
and mothers day promises;)
Now I am depressed!.......)
If my lass saw a message like this I wrote, it would hurt ME (has she who must
be obeyed seen this? <G>).
Also, how many times your own body mass is ENOUGH metal?

If some is good, then more is better, and too much is just enough.....
