[KDonovan]

Capillary Refil Time......oopps..wrong jargon [:D]


no....1981

[floydg]

1964 and biggest set of CRT I had was the book of them in the SPI War in the Pacific (which Coach Z has been "babysitting" for me for many years).

I remember when my mother went into the SPI store in NYC to buy it for me and they warned her it was really for adults. Perhaps they were right.

[Gen.Hoepner]

1979...think i'm too young for those old-fashioned board game...but i'd love to try[:'(]

[TOMLABEL]

1966. First game I ever owned was AH Midway. Dxmn - still love that game! Then it went on to Victory in the Pacific, War At Sea, Tobruk, all the Squad Leader games, Luftwaffe, Third Reich, D-Day, Submarine...the list goes on. I still have most of those games and wish I had the free time to play them all over again.

CRT? What about the dang LOS?

I thought there would be someone older than me[&:][:(][8|]

Well, CobraAus hasn't checked in... neither has Pompack...

Oh yes, I forgot about CobraAus. He's definitely older than dirt.

Didn't know Pompack was in the senior class also.

Yes '68

First game AH Ceasar at Alesia

Oh man, that was a good game. Never could get anybody to play for more than a few turns on that one. No one I knew was interested in that era.

[Dukemourn]

Yes 1949,
 
My biggest worry is I won't live long enough to finish whatever the new Witp is gonna be.

quote:

The true test of a grognard: who has played The Longest Day campaign solitaire from start to finish

Someone claimed to have played CNA somewhere, once, or at least some turns of it, didn't they? What CNA needed was computerisation of the detail tracking - and then it would be like playing........ WitP!

A friend and I started that darn game. We played 1 turn and 2 op stages (2/3 of a turn) before I moved out of town for college. I still like it. Gonna play it someday if I can find someone crazy enough to play.

Hmmmm. I'd be tempted. I'm a few miles away in Pickerington. I have CNA, unpunched and never played

[RUPD3658]

1968

Started with Tactics II at 9 years old then moved on to AH and SPI games. I played Squad Leader, Panzer Blitz/Leader, and Task Force Games Start Fleet Battles the longest.

Currently addicted to WiTP. I am married so not talking to girls is a good thing for me[;)]

Oh come now. Really? You mean in high school?[;)]

Hey, it was the 70's . . .

...and boy could we talk back then. [:D]

Yep, back when "talking" could be fixed with a visit to the doc. I heered tell they gots stuff what'll KILL ya, now . . .

"Our sympathy is with you. Must have made the dances interesting. Pity the home-coming "queen"."


Not wanting to gross y'all out, but think about this for a second.

He (the home-coming queen) was probably in his own little heaven. It's more likely his "boyfriends" who spent the rest of their lives wondering about their manhood...

[JeffroK]

'58
 
Jedko Games "African Campaign", then their "Russian Campaign"
 
Played a whole week of Campaign for North Africa.
 
Plus some of WITP.
 
I own Fresno Games "Eagle & the Sun", arent I stupid.

[Don Bowen]

Did not play too many board games. Really got into it big time when computer games came along. Remember Empire?

I was born in 1945. At the time, World War II was still going on and God was a Midshipman.

[Gen.Hoepner]

[:D]Woah guys...most of you could be my father (and no, my mother isn't called Islde and she didnt work in a pub[:D])......it's amazing how this game can be trans-generational
