wlape3 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 54 in July. Started with Games Research Diplomacy. Moved on to Stalingrad, Blitzkrieg, War In The East 1st ed and the Europa series. Now that I don't have as much time as when I was younger it's nice to have the computer do all the setup work with no worring about what the pets, wife or kids might do...

Snowstorm Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 47, born 3 months after the JFK assassination. My first home computer was a Radio Shack TSR-80 (as in...model year 1980).:eek: Had to "save" using tapes. No such thing as "floppies" yet either. :eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaMonkey Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 In the 50s it was shotgun shell hulls and tennis balls against the neighbor, later, green army men and BB guns. Early 60s brought along Stratego, Risk, MBs Broadside and Dogfight and then one day at Gulfgate shopping center in Houston at a hobby shop, there was AH's D-Day. That was 1966 and I stayed up all night punching out the counters and learning the rules, played the first game through against myself by sunrise, the Allies won. Its only gotten better at 60.

Fred19 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 49 in June... And I would give my last Euro cent to the man who develops a time-machine. Well, it will soon be worthless anyway (the Euro I mean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Palchinsky Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 42 next week, and started at 16 with AH's Luftwaffe before moving to Third Reich at 18. Anyone who's ever dabbled with GRD's Europa series would appreciate SC for getting us closer to the long in waiting "Grand Europa" monster. Thank God for computer games!

Omegaman1 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I will turn 39 in two days... been playing board wargames since I was 12 and computer wargaming since I started playing "Clash of Steel" in 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkman Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 47, but like Indiana Jones said, it's not the years it's the mileage, and after 12 years military and 18 years of construction work, I think it's time for a trade in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crayon6 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 44 and another Avalon Hill fan. My 1st was Panzer Leader. Taught me how to read instructions and do well on standardized tests IMHO. Guns of August is why I bought this game. It taught me about the horrible math of war whereby a loss of 16,000 men was...oh, well. Learned more history from AH than in school.
