Welcome!
Greeting! Sully(nickname) here. Hope all are doing well. I am 67. Been exposed to model railroading since as a small child. My dad has had model railroad layouts since before I was born. I started wargaming early as I was fascinated by tanks and other armored vehicles. Got into the tabletop wargames in high school with the old paper hex maps and unit chits like the old Avalon Hills games.
Collected Roco Minitanks and the early 1/72 WWII kits. Spent 8+ years in the USAF. Did not play much then but got into SciFi wargames when I got out. Discovered Citadel and Games Workshop in the late 1980s and have gone from there.
