Just out of curiosity, what are the nationalities here? I have the feeling mostly europeans. I'm Canadian, must be at least a couple others around....

Maybe after this first tourney, we do a AWD "Ryder" Cup or something...

I think there are more players from the other side of the puddle.

If any of you guys wants his nationality deleted, let me know

I am German, living near Munich... (and I am 44 years old)

And GKar also is from Germany, which is a part of "old Europe" [;)]

Another question that has been hovering over me is:

What is AWD players average age?

I'd say it's between 30 to forty or over. I'm 35 turning 36 on march.

I just wished these pc strategy games would have fallen into my hands when I was a teenager or in my twenties (had so much time then[8|]), but then I might have not got the money to purchase them. [:D][:D][:D]

Age 39
Live in Western Massachusetts, USA

According to rjh1971's definition I'm still in the "so much time then" phase... - well, actually not. [:o]

Oh, and I'm a proud citizen of 'Old Europe'. [:D] [;)]

Well I'm Scottish and 48 going on 102 [;)]

American here and 35. I used to play the old SSI games by Gary, Joel and company on my Apple IIc when I was in junior high and high school.

Ditto, except I'm 38. One of my early favorites 'Field of Fire'....great tactical game for the time!

Croatian, 28 year old seeks beautifull wom... ups. wrong autopilot[:D].
Also defending colours of the "old" continent[;)]

First game on mine first 386 dx2 80mhz [:D], was Panzer general... And what a great game it was...

And before that on commodore 64 played Johnny Reb 2 I think... I remembered Roadman artillery was great![:)]

USA

37 years of age.

Greek, mostly in Athens.

28 yr old Australian here.[&o]

I'm 28, and along with kondor, the youngest? I got into wargaming at 13 with Gary G's War In Russia (best East Front simulator ever), A&A (not really a wargame though, but at 13, fun as hell). I was lucky that I came of-age at a time, early 90's, when the wargaming computer industry was at a peak. Finding like-minded folk at 13-14-15 makes looking for a needle in a haystack an easy task.
 
I have to say, however, that AWD is one of the most refreshing wargames I have played in many a year. It combines many elements of what I look for in a wargame, so props to GG, who's games, as I mentioned before, I've been enjoying since 13 . I look forward to taking a little more part in this fringe-niche-littlecorner-of-a-hobby, and encourage those who haven't joined our tournament yet that there's still time, and you'll have fun, make some aquaintences (sp?) too

I love this game and when I finally get the upgrade, WAW may surpass the original's of  Steel Panthers and Close Combat in my heart.[8D]

US citizen expat (3rd culture: not really American anymore, never truly be a belgian) 31.
First wargame: AH's the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich in 1987 (great concepts about beachheads and breakthroughs) - and so it began for me very early.
Note: actually bought and played Tactics II![:D]

Italian, 30.
My favourite game is WITP (a truly masterpiece) but I enjoy WAW and AWD also. I just started a game with WA, very interesting to play.

American from PA, mid 40s
 
Probably wouldn't play in a tournament thought, as I have barely had time to play the game.  This is one of several games that arrived around Chirstmas, and it will take months to look at all of them.

Yeah, you got me right. USA, 33 years old. Been playing wargames since 1980ish when my brother and I playd Blitzkried by Avalon Hill.....ahh the old days...
