First wargame - Panzerblitz. CM is breaking a long dry spell for me, can't wait for the full release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwatch Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 Well, since I just registered with my board I should give my stats as well. I'm 35 and married (no kids yet) with a house in Montreal. Been a board wargamer since the late 70s (AH's Stalingrad being my first) although I've completely switched over to computer wargaming since the early 90s (no huge maps dominating the basement floor for months on end, no pets to curse for knocking over those lofty stacks of counters...God how I miss those days!! ). I've got a PhD in Biochemistry and am currently engaged in your typical mad scientist activities (and no, I don't genetically modify tomatoes... ). Oh, and EAGERLY awaiting my CM order to appear on my doorstep!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesreidau Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 33, married with a 2 year old boy. I am blessed with a wife who understands my passion for computer gaming, and a son who shouts "bang bang" when he wants me to put CM on! I work in the computer industry and hope to emigrate to the USA sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Posted May 30, 2000 Share Posted May 30, 2000 38, divorced (thank god!), have lived here in Tulsa, Oklahoma for about 3 years(originally from the San Francisco bay area, and I miss it!) I'm an aircraft mechanic for the worlds best airline. I've been an avid wargamer since the mid 70's. I started out with Tactics II, and rapidly progressed through just about everything in the Avalon Hill catalogue. Then when computer wargaming appeared I jumped into it, and never looked back. I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to CM more than any game in memory. ------------------ Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted May 30, 2000 Share Posted May 30, 2000 I'm a 23 year old art school drop out, currently wasting my life away pushing shoping carts at a truly awful grocery store. The promise of CM arriving at my door someday soon is one of the only things keeping me going. well, that and my super cool girlfriend of 2 1/2 years, our 2 cats, our fish, and our turtle. P.S. the next time you shop at your local grocery store, take a moment to give thanks to the brave young men toiling out in the elements so that you may conviently grab a cart from the store. thank you.

pvt_ryan Posted May 30, 2000 Share Posted May 30, 2000 I'm 22, girlfriend of four years, no kids. Work at Dot Foods in the warehouse. I love war games but prefer realtime as opposed to turn based. I think this just might be the only turn-based game I like. Really looking forward to the CMMC, hope to see you all there. aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Rock Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 I'm 41, divorced, no kids, probably been wargaming way too much for way too long. One of my old school buddies who is married with two girls is trying to get the oldest to play CM with him. He's had success with other wargames. If it works it would seem to be a good reason to stay married and have a family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MantaRay Posted June 15, 2000 Share Posted June 15, 2000 30, 10 year's in Special Forces in US ARMY. 2 years a reserve in SFPD, now living in LA, starting an online gaming magazine. A wifey(not really my wife yet, but likes it when I call her that)who hates my computer playing time, which is about 18 hours a day. No kids, but have a 13 and 10 year old "almost brother in laws." An avid FPS player who can just about beat the hell out of anyone in Rogue Spear/Urban Operations. Now currently addicted to Half-Life's mad, Counterstrike 6.5. Wondering if the wifes present of CM to me is going to come as I found out yesterday that there was only $14.61 in account. Made mad rush to bank to deposit more funds, but I hope my card wasn't charged until today. First and only boardgame(war) was Axis and Allies, and patiently waiting to see if CM comes this week to me.

Michael Hatch Posted June 15, 2000 Share Posted June 15, 2000 Hello CM. Thirty-nine, married, one son, three cats, and live in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. Got involved with miniatures wargaming when I was 14, American Civil War, Napoleonics, Ancients and I started the club into WWII armour. (Z&M Angriff I believe.) You think you have LOS problems? Try arguing LOS while bent over a five by nine foot gaming table with other teenagers who just don’t want to lose their last/best/favorite tank. Board games: Avalon Hill's Tobruk and Squad Leader (I was overwhelmed by ASL’s rulebook from hell). Joined the Canadian Army Reserves in ’81 to learn about WWII (Every Army trains to fight its last War). On and off I spent thirteen years there; Infantrymen, Advanced Machine Gunner, Recce Crewman, Crew Commander, Patrol Commander and Armoured Assault Pioneer Section Commander (oh my aching knees). About ’82 I discovered computers and that was pretty cool. A year later I discovered Chuck Yeager’s AirCombat and Harpoon, which was very cool! Games still on my hard drive: Age of Rifles, X-Com (The Original), The Great Battles Collector's Edition, Decisive Battles of WWII: The Ardennes Offensive, Age of Empires II, Jane’s Fighter Anthology, Civilization II, European Air War, Panzer General II. Biggest problem is finding time to play. ------------------ Double tap & getsome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
