ORIGINAL: Lex Talionis

I'm 28 and I started at 10 with Avalon Hills "Battle of the Bulge" (1982 edition I think).

You young pup! I, too, started with the "Battle of the Bulge" . . . in 1970. (1968 edition?)

[&o][&o][&o] At last someone else who played it. My younger brother tried it but was a sore loser. Didn't you just hate it when it was ATT ENG / DEF ENG, it lasted for ever until you encircled them and wiped them out when forced to retreat.

i am 33 and all started with Sinclairs ZX Spectrum in 1982/83.... my "best" c64 game was Kampfgruppe from GG....

I had the ZX also, then the Spectrum 48k, before getting a newer Spectrum 128k +3 (+3 denoted floppy drive) . My favourite game was "Arnhem". Wasted away my 11-16 years playing that game [:D].

38 and I better get off my chair! Over the hill fifteens rugby here I come. Gotta break a bone sometime!

Just turned 30 yesterday on June 6th, D-Day anniversary!

1/2 Century +, lived through 10 presidents and three wars, war gaming of some sorts for 4 decades, including one live fire game lasting 13 months

I'm three months shy of 46, and have been playing wargames for 35 years. I started with AH's Afrika Korps, though I had a large stable of AH games within the first year.

My nickname in Viet Nam was 'Grandpa' and when I went to a unit reunion two years ago it was strange having 50 year olds calling me Grandpa but I will be 60 at the end of this summer. I'll also be retired by then, less than 2 months to go.

47 going on 12, thats what the wife says anyway[:D]

I started with AH's Panzerblitz in '74.

That's the full version of my nick...and I was actually born in 74 [;)]

56 this summer, and started with the original Gettysburg. We literally wore that game out waiting for D-Day
and U-Boat to arrive.

48, first game was AH Afrika Korps back in 1972, quickly followed by AH Midway, which was my first game owned.

[8D]48. I started with A&H when I was 13. Mr. Grigsby made me buy my first Apple.

Almost 31....
started with Johnny Reb on Commodore 64, latter stucked with Russia (one 5"25 DD [X(])...

BTW, it would be great to see War in the Russia remake...

34. I've played games for as long as I can remember. For bookcase type wargames, I probably first played Rise and Decline of the Third Reich, or Airforce/Dauntless when I was around 8-10.

I'm 16. Started with TIE Fighter on Windows 95. [:'(]

The only non-computer "wargame" I've ever bought or played was Battletech, 4th edition. And that don't count. [:o]

38 in two days.

My first game was AH's Submarine followed very closely by Third Reich.
First puter game was GG's Gudalcanal Campaign.

57 going on 75.
