Hi all! Heard about the forum after stumbling on the Grogcast podcast. I'm an irrationally exuberant new comer to the hobby, although I was very hooked on the old Axis and Allies and the original PC version of Harpoon as a kid. Started exploring the hobby late last year and already have more games than I can play.

Currently playing D-Day at Peleliu!

Aside from the budding interest in tabletop, PC, mobile, and console gaming, I spend my time reading military history, getting yelled at by my mandarin teachers, and foiling the schemes of my two kids. Looking forward to reading more from the forum and the mythical front page...

Not for you there isn't.  You're forbidden from viewing it since you left your CKII AAR hanging in mid-dynasty ;)

It has mythical qualities, as far as I can tell from the GrogCast... Like the Holy Grail, the One Ring, Minsc's Boo, or the complete gaming collection...

Welcome, Balckndecker!  Hope the Grogcast hasn't given you expectations of our sanity.  Our passion for games, sure, but, a quick look around the forums and you'll see what you're dealing with ;)

Welcome Blackndecker. Great to have you with us, Front Page reader or not. Good thing whoever built this place added enough padded cells.
