Owen Posted April 2, 2000 Share Posted April 2, 2000 It has been raised quite few times now that on the whole people on this site are of an older age. Not old old but in thirties/ late twenties. I am myself a mere youngun at 18 (only just by a few weeks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted April 2, 2000 Share Posted April 2, 2000 There were 2 huge threads on this late last year, with over a hundred contributors including most of the "usual suspects". Search "age" or "old fart" in title/header only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 2, 2000 Share Posted April 2, 2000 When you use the search feature (right hand top of the page) and enter "age" you'll find a few excessive threads about this. If I remember correctly, the average ago (Freudian mistake I'd say ) was 38 years or so...

Magnus Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 I am to turn 20 on May 10th, and get my BA in History, with a particular interest in WWII. Well, I'm not here by chance, am I ?

Guest GriffinCheng Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 Humm, how dare! So there are always people who want to peel into others' privacy while some do not mind showing it off. Nope!

Guest major_tom Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 39 years been playing Avalon Hill board games since I was 13-14 I guess I have Dreamed since I was a teenager that there would be a way simulate squad and tank level combat where my nerdy "odds calculating" (I could say chincy) opponents would not know the strength or location of my units where the element of surprise could over come strictly calculating all the odds in a battle. My opponents have been known (proudly I might add) as the king of the "soak off", where one weak units (in a hex based game) keeps serval stronger units busy (by dying for their country) while the other attacks take advantage of Much more favorable odds as my oppenents would calculate the odds for every last battle. NOW we have a fair playing field! Truly Simulating real combat where you can only spot the oposing units your units can actually see. This I like Thank you Big Time Software ! this game Even in its Beta demo format is What I ahve always dreamed of for simutlating Post D-Day combat . I can wait for the Gold Demo and I ahve orderd the Real game I hope I can get before the end of May I don't know If I can wait that long! -tom W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCHANGEL Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 I will (sigh!) pass fifty in 23 days. (51 months of which was spent in ground combat) Feel more like 35...

kb9sog Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 We should analyze the distribution of all of the listed ages, find the mean, establish control limits, and then re-center the process if necessary. y=x(f) Bell curves, histograms, and a complete pareto analysis. It's amazing how 12-14 hour shifts, working for an OEM supplier to the auto industry, can otherwise infiltrate the mind of an otherwise healthy, sane, lad of 29 (As soon as May 25 arrives.) years of age. My BA in theological studies is bigger than yours in history! Nanny, nanny, boo-boo! "I lurk, therefore, I am." BJ Simpson--the silent sychophant. P.S. Somebody laugh at this post. It was a tough weekend. P.P.S. CM will be released on my birthday because the BTS guys wanted to give me the best present anyone could ever have. P.P.P.S.

PanzerLeader Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 16 here as well, Manieri. IIRC lots of guys were in their thirties or fourties, that's why the average was app.39. Some chaps in their twenties, a handful of teenagers, and a few over 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
