Nationalities?

[Avatar47]

Just out of curiosity, what are the nationalities here? I have the feeling mostly europeans. I'm Canadian, must be at least a couple others around....

Maybe after this first tourney, we do a AWD "Ryder" Cup or something...

I think there are more players from the other side of the puddle.

If any of you guys wants his nationality deleted, let me know

[MrLongleg]

I am German, living near Munich... (and I am 44 years old)

And GKar also is from Germany, which is a part of "old Europe" [;)]

[rjh1971]

Another question that has been hovering over me is:

What is AWD players average age?

I'd say it's between 30 to forty or over. I'm 35 turning 36 on march.

I just wished these pc strategy games would have fallen into my hands when I was a teenager or in my twenties (had so much time then[8|]), but then I might have not got the money to purchase them. [:D][:D][:D]

[MrQuiet]

Age 39
Live in Western Massachusetts, USA

[GKar]

According to rjh1971's definition I'm still in the "so much time then" phase... - well, actually not. [:o]

Oh, and I'm a proud citizen of 'Old Europe'. [:D] [;)]

[Jevhaddah]

Well I'm Scottish and 48 going on 102 [;)]

Cheers

Ditto, except I'm 38. One of my early favorites 'Field of Fire'....great tactical game for the time!

[kondor]

Croatian, 28 year old seeks beautifull wom... ups. wrong autopilot[:D].
Also defending colours of the "old" continent[;)]

First game on mine first 386 dx2 80mhz [:D], was Panzer general... And what a great game it was...

And before that on commodore 64 played Johnny Reb 2 I think... I remembered Roadman artillery was great![:)]

I'm 28, and along with kondor, the youngest? I got into wargaming at 13 with Gary G's War In Russia (best East Front simulator ever), A&A (not really a wargame though, but at 13, fun as hell). I was lucky that I came of-age at a time, early 90's, when the wargaming computer industry was at a peak. Finding like-minded folk at 13-14-15 makes looking for a needle in a haystack an easy task.
 
I have to say, however, that AWD is one of the most refreshing wargames I have played in many a year. It combines many elements of what I look for in a wargame, so props to GG, who's games, as I mentioned before, I've been enjoying since 13 . I look forward to taking a little more part in this fringe-niche-littlecorner-of-a-hobby, and encourage those who haven't joined our tournament yet that there's still time, and you'll have fun, make some aquaintences (sp?) too

[Rabbitman]

I love this game and when I finally get the upgrade, WAW may surpass the original's of  Steel Panthers and Close Combat in my heart.[8D]

[christian brown]

US citizen expat (3rd culture: not really American anymore, never truly be a belgian) 31.
First wargame: AH's the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich in 1987 (great concepts about beachheads and breakthroughs) - and so it began for me very early.
Note: actually bought and played Tactics II![:D]

[invernomuto]

Italian, 30.
My favourite game is WITP (a truly masterpiece) but I enjoy WAW and AWD also. I just started a game with WA, very interesting to play.

BYE

Probably wouldn't play in a tournament thought, as I have barely had time to play the game.  This is one of several games that arrived around Chirstmas, and it will take months to look at all of them.

[mikemcmann]

Yeah, you got me right. USA, 33 years old. Been playing wargames since 1980ish when my brother and I playd Blitzkried by Avalon Hill.....ahh the old days...
