Hi there!
Hi yourself! Hey, nice to meet a fellow 'pleeb' (cadet), Ross. Maybe one day we'll get to wear those shiny bars too!
Seriously though, it's good to know you're not alone in your WC passions, eh? I've been playing the games for quite a long time now (since WC1 was released, in fact, though I haven't played every game) and throughout that time, while my interest has risen and fallen, it's never completely failed.
Finding this great site has encouraged me to track down the novels, as well as to try and take an active part in the fandom. I hope it strengthens your enjoyment of WC too. Have fun!
Cheers,
Banjo
