    As SoG is getting closer I am sure we will get even more, so I'll top up my Port glass before the rush.

    Thought we had some new crew members aboard or are they just stowaways?

    Perhaps this should be a separate sticky away from all the other threads?

    Just reporting for duty. I've taken the plunge with a starter set to introduce the game to my regular wargames group. We started last week with a game using the standard rules (albeit plotting two moves ahead - we've played WoG) and enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to more. For the next game we intend to use the advanced rules, which I'm sure will be more satisfying - last week one of my friends said on more than one occasion 'I want to slow down'.

    Very much looking forward to more games and the Anchorage seems to be the best place to come for advice.

    Cheers

    I will break out my best bottle of Madeira, ready for the arrival of the other messmates.

    Welcome aboard, its good to have a volunteer seaman aboard rather than a pressed one!
    I hope you have a good time!

    A belated welcome Paul. If you have the time you might consider 1 of both solo campaigns.
