I thought everyone started on Naps? It's like beginning opera with Verdi.

Not least because you look back with gentle affection years later from Mozart or from Pike and Shot, and give a mild shudder of embarrassment at your origins.

Meanwhile, welcome to the fraternity of super-nerds. We're one big happy family (like the house of Atreus).

Sadly, I began opera with Wagner's Ring - explains a lot really!  :-\ :-\ ;)

I started with Puccini, la Traviata at the amphitheatre in Verona.
Would also explain a lot...

The Ring is to be approached when you're ready for it.

Puccini didn't write La Traviata.

With lubrication an optional extra.  ;)
I tend to start with a period that attracts me, buy loads of figures, start painting them, then hunt out the rules i enjoy. Only to find that my friends have got some already but in a different scale, based for a different rule set or are on the same side as me.
So buy what you want, organise them as you see fit, paint them as well as you can be bothered, then put them in a box wait 5 to 6 years to find an opponent.
Buy loads and enjoy them.
Welcome aboard

Sure it wasn't his younger, less well known cousins Vini and Vici?
There was no love lost in their later careers, but starting out in the mid 1800s they did collaborate as a trio?
