I've returned to the GAME

[Coach_J]

Hi There,

Greetings to you my friend. My name is John but I am better known on the chatboard as Coach J. To begin with welcome to the MFCA chatboard and welcome BACK to the hobby. By the way I have also read the replies to some of the other posts.

Now to your questions. You might want to invest in some bases from Miggle. My suggestion would be either the Orange, Teal, or Polo Green Speed bases. You may also want to invest in some Proline bases. As for the figures yes there are a lot of new poses by some of the more creative people in the hobby. The poses you saw are what is known as custom figures. You mentioned that you paint fairly well and have a machine that can print out decals. If that is the case I would recommend that you purchase a set of unpainted figures and paint the team that you want. I also would suggest that you get in touch with Matthew Culp aka "Silverhorse228". I also think it is wise for someone who is either new to the hobby or in your case getting back into the hobby to find a mentor during the early stages of miniature football. A mentor can explain to you how leagues work and answer other questions that you might have relating to the hobby. Hope this helps.

Have a good day, feel free to ask any additional questions, and again welcome to the MFCA chatboard and welcome BACK to the hobby.

John aka Coach J

I too just returned to MF after many years away - your timing is great - this is like the "Renaissance" period for EF/MF. In the last year I have met many great guys and currently play in 2 leagues! It is simply awesome!!!

These replies have been great Thank you all. I feel like a kid in the candystore with excitement for electric football. So many questions to ask and so many things to research. Today I'm heading to my parents for a visit but my main objective is to get my players I can't wait to practice with them. I know once I start playing more questions will come. Thanks again.

I too recently returned a little over a year ago. Like Coach J says, find someone that can teach you all you need to know. If I hadnt found these guys that we have here in the Atl, I would have given up or worst yet be lost. You'll have a great time with some ups and a whole lot of downs, but overall you will enjoy yourself.

I too was in your position just a short time ago.I was welcomed aboard by all these great coaches and the process of being brought up to speed by these guys has been very insightful. You have a great resouce here and the people mentioned before are all very willing to share tha wealth of information and experience they have and have helped me greatly.You at some point will want to establish a connection with guys like Reginald Rutledge,Norbert Revels,Geno H,and many others who ave helped me out as well.
