I have been playing for a little while now and I would like to get a expansion. What would be a good one to start with? I only have the core set.

Anyone that you can find. FFG needs to come out with some reprints because the game and its expansions are getting very hard to find. I personally liked Scottish Wars and 100 Years War as my first expansionsbut grab what you can get.

Tough question.

Call to Arms is often cited as a good expansion because it adds a lot of replay. It allows you to create random battles quickly and easily. On the downside, however, you don't get any extra figures.

Both the HYW and Scottish expansions add a lot of units.

Epic adds a whole new way to play the game, and lots of folks swear by it. I only have limited experience w/ Epic battles, but I found them really cool.

Each of the gob expansions is interesting in its own right. My personal fave unit is the ostrich riders who move 4 and shoot 3. That's a range of 7 hexes!

I guess this isn't helpful, but the good news is that they're all pretty good IMO, although I personally skipped the troll expansion.

I started playing the game not long ago also and everywhere I checked, people were saying that Call to Arms and Epic were the expansions that added the most content to the game. I also heard, like everyone says, that the expansions are getting rare... So what I did is that I bought Call to Arms AND Epic, and stored them, didn't even open them yet. Once I get thru the whole core game and decide to go further, I will unwrap the expansions. In other words, since they are getting rare, I bought them both right away just to be safe. I also bought the Dwarven Battalion expansion because I found it by luck and it's not even available anymore, but I doubt Dwarven Batallion is a necessary expansion.

Thanks for all of the info. I didn't know that the expansions were hard to get. I guess I will just have to go out and find whatever I can. Thanks again everyone.

Don't pay 'silly' prices on ebay for some of them.

FFG's upcomming page now has 3 of the old expansions as being reprinted !

Personally - I'd suggest CtA, Epic and Heroes. That would give you more than you need for a while.
