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

Ah, I see there are a few of us old timers here. Only Svar is older than me of those posted so far.

Gettysburg, Tactics II (always wondered if there was a Tactics I), Afrika Corp, Stalingrad, U-Boat...

Wasn't as involved in wargaming in the '70s (couldn't find opponents) but when I got my Apple II I was right back in the swing of things.

I am AMAZED how many of us are 37-39 here!

I'm amazed that I'm not the youngest guy here. [X(]

I'm 24. Started wargaming with AHs Squad Leader when I was 14 or so. Had all the expansion packs too. My first computer sim was a space game called Lightspeed on 5" floppy on my 286 DX. The first war sim was KOEIs PTO on Sega Genesis.

BTW....good to see that all you old farts arnt just gathering dust. [:D]

I completely forgot about PTO! Great game. I still have it, along with my Genisis (gathering dust in a cupboard). [:D]

48 an old AH gammer. Looks like most of us owe our love of war games to AH.

41, my first wargame was Tac Ops...I played every AH game at one time or another....my 1st computer war game was Geopolitique 1990 for the commodore...ah the good old days.

59 - today.

33 ... and about 20 years ago, I began to play computer wargames such as Guadalcanal, NA 86 ... all designed by Gary Grigsby [;)]

54 and still going strong. Anyone remember Tactics II?

46, my dad got me into Tactics II in 1965.

31

33, started with Third Reich by AH!

60, and I started with Tactics II back about 1959 or so

just turned 29 for the 7th time whoo hoo!

first wargame: GG's "Carrier Force"

Saw it almost by accident during a visit to the computer store. Father had to pry
fingers off box before leaving. Several weeks of paperboy money later it was
back in my hot little hands.

many many hours of staring at TV screen followed. [:D]

44 turning 45 July 21st. I'm jealous Leo has his birthday on the anniversary of the moon landings. I'm 1 day off.[:(]

Got started in early 70's with Panzerblitz then just about every AH game there was. In high school graduated to just about every SPI game there was. Had >60 board games at one time. Have the full magazine series put out by Ballantine's; The History of the Second World War. Read those every Saturday at lunch. First computer wargame was Harpoon.

Can't wait for WiTP. My wife can though...[:D]
