Oh well..

Started with Panzerblitz/Panzergeneral in 73 and computer wargames with Kampfgruppe in 86. Favorite boardgame would be Airforce/Dauntless and the expansion (before AH rereleased it). Had a blast flying Zero's and Wildcats.

I was born the same year the Korean War broke out. That was a lot of wars ago.

I started playing strategy games right after visiting the Gettysburg BattleField on the Centennial of that battle, you guessed it my first game Avalon Hill's original Gettysburg, bought it there and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Transitioning to computer wargames was pre-ordained. In fact there’s only two reasons why I even know how to turn on a computer,

My job and computer wargames.

I needed to know how to use the damn thing, because my profession jumped in with both feet, With wargames I was having trouble-finding players that still played or for that matter had a clue about History, Warfare or Tactics,

That all changed when I found Gary, SSI, Matrixgames and the rest of you nuts. To think I even bought Steel Panthers and SPII

Status: offline 		48, started wargaming at 14 when I discovered the books by Donald Featherstone at the local library. About three years later I found an Advert for S & T in a magazine, subscribed from (iirc) issue 30 through to 72. Along the way there were some great games, including one based on this very subject...

I don't get on with Twitc/FPS very well, I prefer 'higher level' ones. TOAW, Europa Universalis and Strategic Naval Gunnery are, to me, stand-outs, although there are others - including Steel Panthers, as a change of pace and 'level'.

Steve.

Status: offline 		I was born in 1960, so I am 44 and I can't remember exactly, what my first wargame was. I know it all began with Stratego and Risk. But, soon thereafter came Afrika Korps, Midway and Victory in the Pacific/War At Sea. Iirc, War At Sea may have been the actual first wargame, but that was SO long ago. I do remember many loooong days and nights playing Flattop, The Longest Day and Fortress Europa, back then I had a spare bedroom that I'd set my games up in and they would be safe between gaming sessions. I think my "fondest" memory was when I got into GHQ armor minitures and I decided to paint them ALL in appropriate tactical camoulflage. Talk about a pita! I still have those buggers around, after all that's quite an investment.

Status: offline 		Dogfight, yeah, how the heck did that work? Didn't you have little plastic biplanes that you maneuvered around on a gameboard grid? And Broadside, come to think of it, that was how that worked too. I think MB just kept making the same game over and over with different pieces. But Broadside was great, all those ships with sails and masts that you blasted off. I remember being a little worried about one of my friends, he was always talking about how he was going to blow your spankers off.
