For the last few years, I have always maintained that I am flight sim nut who had strayed a little bit to play some strategy ground combat wargames.
I played air combat flight sims from 1992 to about 2001 and from time to time would experiment a little and try something else. In 2001 due to an injury, and arthritis, etc... I sharply curtailed my flying and for the first time put some serious time into playing a wargame, CMBO.
Well, last night, I took the big step and removed quite a few auto racing and flight sims off my PC that have been there for a couple of years since I purchased it. I finally admitted to myself that despite occassionally trying to race or fly every few months, that it is over. Despite being quite sad while running uninstall utilities and deleting files, I had a realization. I realized that over the last three years I have become a wargamer. A few well known games have transformed my interests and focus. Not to mention the last couple of years of being a beta tester for Panther Games.
I have been transformed. I now, for the first time, step forward and acknowledge that "I am a wargamer."
