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

Status: offline 		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), but then I might have not got the money to purchase them.

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

Status: offline 		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 :)

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!

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.

BYE

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.

I'm Canadian, Toronto area, 43 started playing AH games at 14. Just purchased AWD, finished the manual and have started the Total War campaign as Axis against AI to get a feel for things. I'm really interested in PBEM play. When will the next tourney start? Not sure if I'll be sufficiently up to speed by then.

Would anyone be interested in getting into a slow PBEM game with me as a mentor ie. provide some tips, critical assements and feedback as the game progresses to make it a learning expereince????

Other wargames I'm involved with are Advanced Squad Leader. The Starter Kits are a great way to get into into this game. The community is huge. Would like to spend more time gaming but real life always seems to get in the way!

Cheers
