Who is the youngest/oldest person here?

I was born in 1960, so I am 44 and I can't remember exactly, what my first wargame was. I know it all began with Stratego and Risk. But, soon thereafter came Afrika Korps, Midway and Victory in the Pacific/War At Sea. Iirc, War At Sea may have been the actual first wargame, but that was SO long ago. I do remember many loooong days and nights playing Flattop, The Longest Day and Fortress Europa, back then I had a spare bedroom that I'd set my games up in and they would be safe between gaming sessions. I think my "fondest" memory was when I got into GHQ armor minitures and I decided to paint them ALL in appropriate tactical camoulflage. Talk about a pita! I still have those buggers around, after all that's quite an investment.

Do Milton Bradley's Broadsides and Dog FIght count as wargames? If so I started playing sometime in the late 60s

Dogfight, yeah, how the heck did that work? Didn't you have little plastic biplanes that you maneuvered around on a gameboard grid? And Broadside, come to think of it, that was how that worked too. I think MB just kept making the same game over and over with different pieces. But Broadside was great, all those ships with sails and masts that you blasted off. I remember being a little worried about one of my friends, he was always talking about how he was going to blow your spankers off.
