I can't remember who made it but it was called Air Force, aircraft to aircraft combat in Europe 1939-45.

First land warfare game was called Dark Passage, hypothetical Soviet invasion of Pakistan from Afghanistan. The rules were so full of holes and contradictions but it got me hooked on wargamming.

I usually just lurk, but this topic brought me out. :)

Older than I look I am. :) Played my first wargame as a Junior in college, 20 years ago. Kriegspiel was my first, a Bookcase Game by Avalon Hill. Had a great paper-scissors-rock combat resolution system. In fact, I believe it is time to introduce my son to that game and I am pulling it out of the closet now. After that I was completely hooked. I really loved Drive On Stalingrad. Played Gettysburg, TacticsII, Air War, Richtofens(sp) War, anyone else remember Ace of Aces? First computer wargame was Cruade in Europe which was awesome.

Of course I am not including chess (my dad taught me to play when I was in the 3rd grade) or Risk.

Captain Wasabi out.
