Hi all I'm Andy from Watford, long time skirmisher but new to the ww2 scene, looking forward to seeing you all in the field
Hi Andy
Welcome to the forum , have a look at the kit guides and choose a faction ,once you know what side you want to portray the the best place to start is with an infantry impression, its really tempting to go for an elite unit like Brit airborne commando's or American 101st airborne but we try to choose a day of a real battle to enact and portray the troops in the field and infantry is virtually always in play so you get to attend more games , to maximize your game play get a German infantry uniform as they faught in virtually every battle except in the pacific !
Always ask before you buy as there's a lot of crap or just wrong kit out there ,you don't need everything for your first game as there is always a kit loan thread attached to each game ,we loan out virtually everything on a you bend it you mend it basis ,so even if all you buy is a pair of trousers for your first game you could borrow the rest ,so buy good quality a little at a time or as you can afford it ,virtually nobody gets to their first game in stitch perfect brand new complete kit .
Sorry for the essay .

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
Welcome Andy. I am from West London - Ealing. Look forward seeing you in the field. Might want to sign up for some games next year. Places are usually limited. Hence worth to be on the list asap.
There's a few of us near you - I'm in Croxley Green.
There have even been a a few games near Hunton Bridge.
Cheers

Watford, that's way up North
Welcome Andy.
G&G MG42, PPS Kar98k, KWC P08 and patiently awaiting the KWA MP40 GBB.
North of Watford is just Scotland and some tiny little islands isn't it ? Barely sivilised ,I hear they go into battle stark naked with their bums painted blue !

Welcome mate, Rift was a laugh wasn't it!
Hello and welcome to the forum! Lots of games in the SE these days so you should have plenty of opportunities to get along to a game or two soon!
Welcome to the forums! Where you at RIFT the other day?
