@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.
Worth it?

In the past few years I’ve tried playing games like Warhammer and D&D but neither of them have really held my intrest for too long. I’m just wondering if the miniatures are really worth investing into. And if so whats the most cost-effective pack to buy (i still have Christmas money leftover :-D)

There are some who will say no for a number of reasons but I think that its a decent enough game. It can become costly depending on your resources but every hobby has a cost. Most will say to buy a base amount of pieces and then selectively buy on line what you want. If you want to buy into the Pacific theater, I’ve substantial Japanese and US pieces I don’t use.

This is the only type of these games I like… It’s very worth it. My recommendation for getting started is the 1939-1945 Starter Set, 2 1939-1945 boosters, 2 North Africa boosters, and 2 Eastern Front boosters. From there you’ve got 2 options depending on how you want to build up your collection. Order individual pieces online that appeal to you for specific reasons, or just stock up on boosters to build a generally large collection. Most locations that sell boosters are willing to barter with you if you buy a certain amount of them.
