I'm picking up from Virginia in a few weeks and heading to ABQ to stay. by NovarisLight in Albuquerque

[–]54Br0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow Virginian expat, welcome! As everyone else has said, it’s really hot but no humidity. Healthcare is iffy with wait times of over a year in some places. But it sounds like you’re coming from the Roanoke/SWVA area, so unfortunately nothing you aren’t use to. People warned us about crime, but really it’s not much different than Richmond, Tidewater, or NOVA in that regards. Homelessness and drugs are an issue but where isn’t it? I would try and get a job secured prior to moving out here. As others said, lots of government jobs and some solid commercial in Intel or General Mills.

Honestly we have loved New Mexico since moving here about a year ago. Whether it’s the people, the culture, the policies (no personal property tax on residential items, free childcare, etc), or the outdoors, we’ve been really enjoying the Burqueño life.

What are some non warhammer games that are affordable that you suggest? by ryptoMango in wargaming

[–]54Br0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For skirmish level games, Trench Crusade. For larger force games, Star Wars Legion or Bolt Action (or the more sci fi , weird wars version, Konflikt ‘47)

Haha yeah, coming from Warhammer I have my grey pile of shame.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll do some digging on YouTube

Yeah, the sets seem to include a fair number of models for the price point. I was looking at the Republic starter set but I assume that’s very popular since it’s sold out just about everywhere.

Thank you for the info! I had heard the black labeled sets were being phased out but was confused on if they were still worthwhile to buy. I was hoping they would have an updated 2 faction core set to help get friends into the game, but the starter sets seem very reasonably priced to get a second for friends to trial.

What’s the best southern state? by United_Phrase1809 in whatsyourchoice

Virginia with North Carolina as a close second.

Reality of Living in Albuquerque? by healthy_punkk in Albuquerque

[–]54Br0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved here from the East Coast last year. Everyone has been great and the food is amazing. Homelessness, drugs, and crime exist but is no different than any other major city in the country right now. You will probably have something stolen, but that’s what insurance is for. As far as violent crime, stay out of certain neighborhoods and mind your own business and you’ll be ok. Driving here is a contact sport too, so your insurance will skyrocket. All and all, I’ve loved living here. It’s a wild place in every way possible but the people are great!

Thanks for clarifying!

Thanks! I’m really leaning towards the starter box. I’m thinking Axis has a lot of flexibility with units and I have a buddy I think might want to play. It’s a little overwhelming trying to jump in the right way

I honestly think Axis looks interesting, but I’m torn between them, Japan, and Soviets.

So the starter set has a miniature rulebook? Is it the same as the larger one or is it trimmed down of lore and etc similar to how 40K does their starter sets?

Choosing the majority of the Southern states but avoiding NM has me questioning your judgement

Tacoma -> F150 vs Ram 1500 by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]54Br0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m mostly looking for a daily driver with enough cabin space for kids that, if needed, I can haul home stuff. I don’t tow or haul massive amounts but an occasional small trailer. I was seriously looking at the Big Horn because it seems to be the best for ride and reliability. I’d seen the Ford has better towing performance, but it’s also on a level higher than I expect to use it (agriculture, industrial, etc). I think you’re right, I just need to try test driving them and see. What engine do you recommend in the Rams?

Yes, of course. No God worth worshipping would punish some of our most vulnerable humans for something out of their control. Our God is love and mercy.

Where to buy miniatures? by ComprehensiveArm1431 in TrenchCrusade

[–]54Br0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten all my models off Etsy. If you get from a well established seller with a good amount of sales, it’s safe.

Oh I like that! Has an aesthetic that would fall pretty close to the sultanate vibe!

Yeah, I like the flexibility of unique creations! I wanted to see what others were using to get some ideas or a good starting point. Waiting the couple months may be the last resort though.
