Hello and welcome!

Yup, there's quite a few of us here in the Midlands, so they'll always be people nearby to car-share to games with or lend you kit, etc...
I'm just north a bit in Derby, and drink regularly just up the line in Burton.

Hello and welcome.

Theres a bunch of guys on here called Dog co who do the airborne look.

check out there group section.

Also, lots of chaps on here will loan kit out at events. even guns. usually on a "bend it, mend it " basis

but you can attend an event and get a feel for it BEFORE swhelling out thousands of pounds on an addictive, wallet smashing, hobby :D

hi and welcome
its best kit wise to be not to specific,that way you can use it at more games,if you for instance were to go africa core panzer grenadier then it might be a while before you find a game that you can use it at,where as basic infantry of any nation is going to see regular use.dont feel you need to have a full loadout for you'r first game as people are happy to lend stuff out.and there are always people to answer you'r kit questions no matter how obscure.

sorry did I say run away....I meant "Tactical Withdrawal" for strategic reasons of cause.

Should put together a Midlands Unit to battle the evil Northern Frost Giants and even more evil Southern softes. but my waffle aside, welcome. As a newbie myself (first event will be Bostagne) the guys on here are top notch, very helpful so dont be afraid to ask any questions as they are most forthcoming.
