With all the questions on how to start FOW is it worth producing an Article on it and "Pinning" it to the Forum to stop the endless. "I'm starting out, can you help me?" type questions?

I am happy to start one but would like some collaborative help to make this a reality and cover all bases? Would anyone volunteer to help me? I'll start the Article and would like as much feed back and editing as possible. Plus I have no idea how to have it pinned to the top of the forum (Maybe you need a Mod to do this?).

Please edit, correct and change this as you see fit, we should make a good collaborative effort.

Fantastic article. Should stop a lot of the newbie "whta should I get" type questions. Thanks for posting it.

Free bump, and I also added a section on how to assemble a a list.

also do not forget the free PDfs onBattlefronts site to give people a look at a intel book.

Good call! will add that in!

Added a few bits about why the PSC T-34 box set is a great deal, a little bit about how FoW/40k are similar and different (this really should be it's own session, I imagine most people who come to Dakka are 40k players and would do well if they could associate FoW's more complex rules system with 40k's rules), and started a section I like to call "random tips for newbs.
