By the time he reached junior high, he discovered that wargamers were a minority. There was no one to play against. In desperation, he joined the school chess club, taught its members wargames, and started his own wargame club. "I had to create the opponents by getting them interested."
But Joel's family moved and when he started high school, he was back to square one. So he began playing by mail. At one point, he was playing nine games simultaneously in two different tournaments.
I had the same problem as Joel and I guess that all wargamers fans around the world have asked themselfs: where the heck can i find an opponent?
I would have loved to play Avalon's Hill Russian Front against someone else rather than myself.
I still have the hope to see that game in pc format, please it has been done let me know how and where I can get it.
Luckily, nowadays we have the internet and the opponents wanted section, so it's easy to find someone to play with.
I've played with fellows as far as Hong Kong or Alaska, real cool.
But, hey, I still haven't come across any player from Spain. Where are you guys? Am I the only one here?
Edited: some spelling.
