The Official --( Introduce Yourself )-- Thread!

>>Hi Matt, welcome to the club.
I presume Bob explained to you why we have the Academy. <<

Thanks! And I don't mind a bit. I appreciate the conversation. I have problems with rule books and although I have an idea this or that may need to be done and understand why, walking through it with a mentor is by far the best way for me personally to learn. This doesn't seem to be a hardship to me.

>>I am looking to play Army at Dawn and Road to Dunkirk<<
>>If that is your complete PG library on your profile page, you should learn to use the player matching tool. The issue is that we can't give much scenario support. That is why numbers of counters and setup information is not available. On the other hand, lots of people want to play. You shouldn't have too much trouble.<<

My physical library is Beyond Normandy, Afrika Korps, Desert Rats and Eastern Front. I want to upgrade that and the early war in Europe seems to be most interesting to me. I read Army at Dawn so it would be fun to get that and work through it as a game as well. Dunkirk seems interesting because I want to do the tank battles around Arras. The Fall of France would be fun too. Funds are limited so if i find someone that is willing to play, I will pick one and buy it. Even though I said I am interested in early war, that Kursk bundle for the Gold Club looks really interesting. I just read a book on Kursk that was pretty interesting. All the archetypal tanks you think of in the war on the Eastern Front.

>>So far as I know, there was never official Spanish Civil War support planned. That could change any day. Until then it is up to miscreants like me.<<

i figured that with the Eastern Africa and Ethopia campaigns, then the Gold Club coverage of some of the very minor combatants, there would be a goodish chance of SCW coverage. Spent a lot of time in Spain and there were reminders everywhere even in the university hall I was in that was all bullet pock marked. I figure obscure? Well then there's a chance. 

Also just read a book on Tarawa and would be excited to play that one out too. Just a lot of sand and reef.

Anyway. Thank you for the welcome. Hope to be a regular member soon as I can be.
