I'm 52 and my first wargame was AH's Battle of the Bulge in the late 60's followed by a whole slew of AH boardgames. First computer wargame was Guadalcanal Campaign played on the Apple IIe (Motorola 6502 8mhz processor, 128K RAM and twin 143K floppy drives... computing at its finest!). I just happened to live 3 blocks from SSI at the time and would run down there to pick up the latest release. Even became a playtester for them (6-Gun Shootout and Rings of Zelfin... both duds!) for a short time. They wouldn't let me playtest wargames so I quit playtesting. I think at one point I had every SSI wargame for the IIe. Chez
