I'll be waiting for my books to arrive before diving too deep. WiF is definitely not something you casually plunge into. I've never played the board game, though I had been interested in it for some time.
I'm a long time WITP-AE player, being with the system back to the Uncommon Valor days. While huge, the basic concepts arent a whole lot different that UV.
This is something else entirely, so I'm treading softly.
Ed-
One does not simply plunge into WIF? I'm considering restarting the Global War I started this weekend to overcome lapses in memory from the long time since I had a place I could set up the game.
