Status: offline 		I'm 32. Started playing Napoleon with boardgames wargames at 15 and switching to PC wargames in my early twenties. I was getting fed up with PC wargames when I tried UV after watching this forum for some months. And now I'm deeply addicted. Playing only PBEM (I play maybe 40 hours against the AI just to learn the game... actually I probaly spend more time reading the forum and learn certainly more).

It is amazing how consistently we seem to be in our late thirties, early 40s, though I'm really happy to see the 20-somethings in here too...

Started with AH's Battle of the Bulge in '73 or '74.

First strat game was Warship back in 86 me thinks. That was a serious thing for a 12 year old, but it was
straight down my alley already then

Remember how I tried to figure out those gun accuracy tables that could be found in the last pages of the manual.

At last someone else who played it. My younger brother tried it but was a sore loser. Didn't you just hate it when it was ATT ENG / DEF ENG, it lasted for ever until you encircled them and wiped them out when forced to retreat.

i am 33 and all started with Sinclairs ZX Spectrum in 1982/83.... my "best" c64 game was Kampfgruppe from GG....


I had the ZX also, then the Spectrum 48k, before getting a newer Spectrum 128k +3 (+3 denoted floppy drive) . My favourite game was "Arnhem". Wasted away my 11-16 years playing that game .
