Newish Player to Game 7

Hi,
Joined Game 7 a few months ago and got dropped right into the action, I was completely blind on previous events and I've been struggling to find my feet since. Its not boring however and I eagerly await each game turn.

Entirely new to the game, or just new to game 7?

New to the game.

Well, I hope you have as much fun as I'm having. I joined in April, picked up the Papal States in game 3 to get my feet wet while I waited for Game 8 to start. Now I'm having enough fun there that I'm going to keep playing both!

Folks here are pretty friendly, and I'm sure you're getting an earful in private messages.

Oh, and for what it's worth, if you can afford all the rules supplements, I think it's worth it. I bought them all and it helped me get my hands around things a bit better.
