This is where it all began! I picked this up on eBay the other day purely for a blast of nostalgia, and what a blast it was! I remember every facet of the artwork on the cover. I remember pictures and diagrams inside. I even remember cutting out the counters at the back to play the sample scenario. But more than that...I remember all the games we played of this edition and 4th Edition back when WFB was actually a good game and not yet an arms race designed to empty my pockets. I recall with great fondness the large Orc & Goblin army, Empire army and Undead army I used to regularly play against my brother and my 2 friends, Paul and Andy, who had Chaos, Elves, Skaven and Dwarfs between them. Playing WAB recently also touched on these memories and those games have been fun because I've not had to learn new rules...the 'to hit' and 'to wound' tables in Warhammer are almost completely second nature!
So here's to WFB! It's what got me started on the tabletop side of things and you never know...! I might actually be tempted into painting up some greenskins again and bringing this old-old timer of a ruleset back to life!
