[Medic]

Since I've been away for a while, I suppose I need to introduce myself to the FNGs that have arrived after me.

Medic (both here and in real life, Finnish Army Reserves), the babbling Finn, who will not shut up, if there's a Finnish point of view to the subject (or a possibility to bring one in to the discussion).

And to those who know me, well, I've been multiplying. Our baby girl is now 20-months old and her baby brother six weeks. The latter one is a whopper - currently 6,49kg/14.5lbs and 60,5cm/2'.

Long time lurker. Registered awhile back but never posted (life tends to get in the way). This site has been a weekly stop for me. You guys are awesome!

Long story short: I come from a military family save for my old man, LOVED v.1 back in the day, always wanted to serve, unable to get into USMC OBC after college (high standards+wayward youth=no soup for you), joined the NG in an unnamed midwestern state in a misguided fit of patriotism after 9/11, ended up doing a ton of DOMOPS (post-Katrina, post-Gustav, lots of stuff in my tornado prone state) plus a very interesting tour in HOA and now after, after completing resident CGSC and getting a very interesting occasional AGR tour, I've made a semi-career of it.

Introduced my sons to boardgames, strategy games (Axis and Allies, Mem. 44) at a young age, which led, to my wife's chagrin, to D&D. Told them a few years back about an RPG which was "Army, but after the apocalypse". Now that they are teens and we have watched Red Dawn, Black Hawk Down, The Last Ship, The Day After, By Dawn's Early Light, and Jericho, I recently started a modified V.1 campaign set in 2030. They love it. I've stolen a great deal from the ideas on this web site so now I need to give what little I can back. I hope I can contribute.

Glad to see both the old and new faces.

I always worry during spring when internet traffic in general is down, but this one seems different.

Welcome aboard sir!

I will encourage you to use the Search Function to find older threads and add your thoughts to them as well as checking out the posts in the Forum Thread Maps. The Thread Map Section has a lot of the more popular topics archived there. Since the Thread Maps section is fixed (as you will see) if you add any comments or new rules variations there, those posts will be permanently archived as well. This will allow future players to access your posts easier.


Swag.

Hey, I discovered this game about a year ago with a friend and his dad and had an absolute blast. Lately I've been working on campaign notes and other ideas. If anyone has any running online sessions that would be aweaome.

Are you looking at real time games, or play-by-post?

I can do both. Real time would be fun but I'm thinking play by post, seeing as how my internet isn't stellar
