Re: [WABlist] Hello to everybody, new guy here.

Hey Freakout,

Welcome to the list! Your models look good and seem to be ranking up well,
which I have heard can be a problem with some of the plastics (although it
might be moreso with the Celts).

There is a lot of discussion on the list about historical accuracy, and one
thing I like about WAB is the real mix of players who enjoy the game. There
are certainly lots of folks who are interested in (and can be depended on)
for historical reading of ancient conflict, but there are also a lot of
folks who approach it from a more casual direction. For me, WAB presents
three views of the past: 1) how ancient/medieval warfare might have been,
2) how stories from the past describe ancient/medieval warfare as being, and
how we want ancient/medieval warfare to have been. I have a good time
thinking about all three of these!
