    Default In the finest uh, Naval Tradition?

    I hail from the great Naval state of Colorado. Well, great if you count the Kayak fleets. Not so much for anything else.

    I have always enjoyed reading the historical fiction from the Age of Sail (Hornblower, Bolitho, Aubrey, etc) as well as the actual history of the period. I have played Wooden Ships and Iron Men until it wore out and when I saw on KS that there would be painted minis it didn't matter if the game itself was decent (though it appears that it will be) I pledged and started thinking how I would place the shelving to put them next to my Collector's Edition of War of the Ring (painted minis are a HUGE selling point for me).

    Of course I wonder if I will ever get to play it as the wargamers in this area I have met tend to be the traditional WWII type. But it won't be the first time I have owned a game and then looked for an opponent.

    OK, basics done. Will now go peruse some of the other posts and see what type of community I have joined.

    Welcome aboard! You've joined a community where a sense of humor (especially a facility with puns) is as appreciated as knowledge of naval history.

    HowdyJ. Welcome from Arizona.

    This site's HQ is in Colorado. Don't know how the Royal Hajj keeps the fleet hidden so well.
