I am new to Sails of Glory but a veteran miniatures gamer of nearly 40 years. My primary period is Napoleonic (landlubbers) with Austrian, Prussian and French 15mm armies. Of course like all of us I have many other armies in many time periods. I was introduced to Ares through WWI Wings of Glory.
My first introduction to 18th/19th century naval warfare came with many nights of playing Avalon Hill's Wooden Ships & Iron Men. We played that game until the boards were frayed and the counters worn. As i advance in age my interest in painting new armies is slowing down. I enjoyed the quick play and set up of Wings of Glory so I thought I'd give this a try. so far I've been impressed with everything. And although I like the prepainted miniatures I never said I wouldn't spruce them up. 😏
