    Smile Greetings from Madrid - Spain

    Hi to everybody here, I have been playing boardgames for a long time, and I have always been interested in Air and Naval games, modern and historical, as well as miniatures.

    I have switched to SoG after being tired of playing X-Wing Miniatures for a few years, so I sold all my X-Wing collection and have started to get SoG, something not really easy due it has been retired here in Spain, with just a few references available.

    So I got the base game and a few extra ships (accessories are impossible to find), and the solitaire rules will be very handy.

    Best regards

    Hola Jose !
    Welcome from the beautiful Hudson River Valley. I very much enjoyed my one visit to Madrid -- I was presenting a paper at Universidad San Carlos III de Madrid. Everyone I met was friendly and kind, great museums, loved my visit to the Palacio Real.
    best,
    Bill

    I can now give you a real official welcome to the Anchorage Jose.
    It is always good to have an expert gamer join us for Sails.
    You will find lots of interesting threads to browse, and if you are unsure of anything just shout and some messmate will come to your aid.
    May you sail with a fair wind.
    Rob.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Ouch, that sucks--doubly so since one of us on the Research Team was from Spain and worked very hard to get the Armada Real some representation. (He's been quiet a while though... hope you're okay out there wherever you are, J.M.) And my apologies as part of the team for that representation coming out as bugged as it did with undersized ships and overstatted 74's.
