New Player in Littleton CO
« on: December 04, 2015, 12:49:24 am »
Hello,

My name is Tod Higman, I live in Littleton, CO, and I'm looking to try out some Spartan games.  I am most interested in PlanetFall, and have bought my first box (Sorylian).  I am also interested in Firestorm Armada and Dystopian Wars, but I think I'd like to get a some demos of those games before I buy.

I'm a generalist gamer.  Other games I am currently playing are Bolt Action, Wild West Exodus, CAV, Kings of War, Deadzone, and Dreadball.

In the past I've played 40K, WHFB, Battlefleet Gothic, and Warmachine.  In ancient times I played Federation Commander and Starfleet Battles.

With a little notice I can game in Littleton Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and can go anywhere in Denver/Colorado Springs on the weekend.

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you. That's quite a gaming resume ;). If I may ask, which fleets did you play for BFG? That was my first minis game...

Welcome to our community.
You'll find some pretty good people around here. We try to gather for a monthly game as a group and most of us are willing to play short notice in the Colorado area.
If you're interested in trying other Spartan Games products many of us have plenty of models and are happy to provide introductory games. We'll see you around.

Aye, welcome aboard Zorper.

Like Quickdraw said, most of us have multiple Firestorm Armada and Dystopian Wars fleets, so getting a demo game sometime shouldn't be too difficult. And between the folks in Denver and the Springs, you should be able to find at least a few Planetfall opponents.

Welcome!  I'm in Aurora and can meet for some Planetfall, though my game days are usually Wed and Thurs, and I'm typically in the Springs on Thurs.  if you want to meet for some Planetfall at the monthly get-together on the 13th, I could do that.

Stephan and Zorper, I'm working on getting us two tables at Collectormania for the 13th so we could run both DW and Planetfall. Watch the main scheduling thread for updates.

Unless, of course, you want to play some crazy cross-over game... :D

If the scales were the same I'd be tempted!

Hello.  I played a Space Marine Fleet.  BA chapter when we were counting.  I still have fond memories of BFG but not too many players anymore for that.

Thanks.  I should be able to make it there about 11 AM at Collectormania on Sunday the 13th.  I'll be bringing my Sorylian starter box, which looks like it's 1400 points.  See you there.

Nice collection of games! Welcome, BFG was my first wargaming experience also so it's nice to see people who remember the ol girl!
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

I have a short attention span, so I suck at a bunch of games instead of being good at one :).
