Thanks.
So much for searching the forum, I never saw that thread
. The community here seems so active and the mods are generally raved about so well I wanted to make a decision asap as to what would be a good way to go. Not that I hear folk "dissing" the vanilla version but with all the tweaks and changes by real enthusiasts I dont think I can justify playing 200 hours of that before I check out the mods. Anyway I had a look at the GW website and they are firm favourites at this stage.
Thanks again for the nudge in the right direction.
