Skyros, I still have Terrible Swift Sword. What a spectacular game! (Gettysburg on the regiment level). I think I still have all my AH games except my very first, Blitzkrieg. Anyone for a game of Richtoffen's War, 1776, Submarine, Here Come the Rebels, Advanced Third Reich, Tobruk, Midway, Panzer Blitz, or any of about fifteen others?

John 3rd -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/1/2007 11:28:41 PM)
I am up for Submarine. LOVED that game! I have three copies of Flattop here in the basement.

Drank many a beers over this game.

Yes, 1969. Played lots of Avalon Hill titles, but mainly D-Day, Flattop & Squad Leader/ASL.

BrucePowers -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/2/2007 12:50:04 AM)

FeurerKrieg -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/2/2007 1:53:45 AM)
The only CRT I had was from my Avalon Hill's Stalingrad which I picked up at auction at my first gaming convention (Neocon, NorthEastOhioCON) back when I was twelve. So yes (barely) and 1975

Capillary Refil Time......oopps..wrong jargon [:D] no....1981

floydg -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/2/2007 2:43:06 AM)
1964 and biggest set of CRT I had was the book of them in the SPI War in the Pacific (which Coach Z has been "babysitting" for me for many years). I remember when my mother went into the SPI store in NYC to buy it for me and they warned her it was really for adults. Perhaps they were right.

Gen.Hoepner -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/2/2007 3:22:31 AM)
1979...think i'm too young for those old-fashioned board game...but i'd love to try[:'(]

TOMLABEL -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/2/2007 3:28:43 AM)
1966. First game I ever owned was AH Midway. Dxmn - still love that game! Then it went on to Victory in the Pacific, War At Sea, Tobruk, all the Squad Leader games, Luftwaffe, Third Reich, D-Day, Submarine...the list goes on. I still have most of those games and wish I had the free time to play them all over again. CRT? What about the dang LOS? TOMLABEL

Yes 1949, My biggest worry is I won't live long enough to finish whatever the new Witp is gonna be.

We played 1 turn and 2 op stages (2/3 of a turn) before I moved out of town for college. I still like it. Gonna play it someday if I can find someone crazy enough to play. Hmmmm. I'd be tempted. I'm a few miles away in Pickerington. I have CNA, unpunched and never played

1968 Started with Tactics II at 9 years old then moved on to AH and SPI games. I played Squad Leader, Panzer Blitz/Leader, and Task Force Games Start Fleet Battles the longest. Currently addicted to WiTP. I am married so not talking to girls is a good thing for me[;)]

" That too. I went to an all male high school. Worst 4 years of my life." "Our sympathy is with you. Must have made the dances interesting. Pity the home-coming "queen"." Not wanting to gross y'all out, but think about this for a second. He (the home-coming queen) was probably in his own little heaven. It's more likely his "boyfriends" who spent the rest of their lives wondering about their manhood...

JeffroK -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/2/2007 9:12:51 AM)
'58 Jedko Games "African Campaign", then their "Russian Campaign" Played a whole week of Campaign for North Africa. Plus some of WITP. I own Fresno Games "Eagle & the Sun", arent I stupid.

Don Bowen -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/2/2007 10:44:02 AM)
Did not play too many board games. Really got into it big time when computer games came along. Remember Empire? I was born in 1945. At the time, World War II was still going on and God was a Midshipman.

Gen.Hoepner -> RE: Grognard or n00B ? (11/2/2007 11:10:18 AM)
[:D]Woah guys...most of you could be my father (and no, my mother isn't called Islde and she didnt work in a pub[:D])......it's amazing how this game can be trans-generational
