You will find most of your questions answered here. also, familiarize yourself with the PM function. you can send a personal message to an individual on a more specific question, or looking for a more specific answer. also, its a good tool for just chatting away about the hobby.
There are some of us here who have been back for 2-5 years (myself and some others), some are brand new (Michael, who is 12yrs old and yet, gave you the absolute most informed response thus far
), some back within the past year (DetroitChild and a few others), and the old vets who probably never left the game. my point is, dont feel like you are way behind in anything or feel its not your place to ask a question. there are guys in the same boat as you and we mix in right along with the founding fathers of the hobby.
as you research how far the game has come, you will see there are different people who specialize in different areas. just watch, you will figure out what i just said soon enough.
and as previously mentioned, as far as being back in the game, it has become more of a hobby for us. you can explore and settle into the
many facets of the hobby that are here. you can play in a
league or tournamentsfor competition. you can play
solitaire leagues which is all by your self with a few teams. you can get into
painting your own teams. you can get into
customizing your own figures from the 5 or so different manufacturers of figures. you can get heavily into just
tweaking bases for optimum performance. or you can get into
building boards and stadiums. or perhaps just
collecting teams. did i leave anything out??????
might seem overwhelming right now, but it will all fall into place as you dabble more on the board and in the hobby. most of us do all of the above, but like i said, you will find some guys are specializers in the particular aspects of the game.
BUT THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU IS, FIND SOME GUYS WHO PLAY, AND ATTEND THEIR GAME. FIND THE LEAGUE IN KENTUCKY AND TRY YOUR BEST TO GET TO AN OUTING. WE CAN TELL YOU ABOUT THINGS ALL DAY, BUT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY SEE IT, IT COMES TO YOU SO MUCH FASTER AND WITH BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
So enjoy my friend, and welcome.
