ASL, Twilight 2000, BattleTech, Axis Allies, A Mind Forever Voyaging, cassette tape drives and a TSR-80 later, and I'm still waiting on a patch for a game that is destined to be one of these classics(I'm putting patch references into every post of mine from this day forward, even if it doesn't make sense.)

To all the Wooden cask, finely aged gamers out there; How do you budget your time to get all the gaming in? I need advice.

ok, so 58 is the max, and 14 is the youngest. Well little joe, you got me beat! And as for the date, I 'm the kind of guy who has tons of "girl friends" that always hang around him, but for some reason never wanna go out with him!! And amazingly I'm relatively atheltic!

ps: The only reason I found about matrix games was with Korsun Pocket, in the stores. If you wish to atract new gamers, dont forfeit the store market, they're the only way you'll survive on the long run.



No, 64 is the max....I'm on the high end of average at 49. When I was 14 I was playing The Guns of August. What a relief when Jim Dunnigan moved on to France 1940....a great game.

Say what about redo-ing Jutland with some kind of ship class over the build up redesign module and better radio intell and air scouting and sub modules???

Buy them flowers and listen to them (The girls, not the flowers). Don't ask me why but doing so removes female clothing faster than anything else I know of. I only wish I had learned this when I was a tennager. Just remember that sincerity is everything. If you can fake that you have got it made.

Didn't we have one string thingy just like this, when we were waiting for "The Preciouss"?

OK: Does the ? go inside "?" or outside ""? ?

This is really scratching the bottom of the barrel.

Started my addiction very young with a small board game that was sold along with the local crossword/puzzle monthly magazine (they had an article about wargaming). It was a fictionary battle set in 16th century Military Border (Austro-Hungarian empire vs. the Ottoman). Later I was totally hooked after I've played Russia on my C-64 during highschool. Currently my condition is getting much worse after 2nd July 2004.
