My first were on C64 but since I had only tapedriver there was only few wargames. Lords of Chaos was kind of fantasy squad based but lots of fun. Then there was som turn based american civil war game cant remember name. The one true wargame I played most was crusade in the west.



Pretty much the same trajectory here. Loved Crusade in the West!

Actually it was Crusade in Europe

The game was brilliant for its time. It had the entire map of france (and ardennes) and the interface was very easy to use. All you had to do was click division/brigade and then click its destination. Then you just waited. The game was not turn based but realtime. Very very slow realtime though. I played the game to death back then.

AH Victory in the Pacific I believe was my first board game...or it might have been Wooden Ships and Iron Men or Squad Leader. I got them all in the same year.
Computer War game...I believe it was called "Sink the Bismark" or something like that on the Apple II

Great topic!

Table top Wargaming:

Chess (the game that started it all for me, and still has me hooked)
Stratego (much better than checkers!)
Star Fleet Battles (endless hours of fun in my college dorm room)
AH ASL
Axis and Allies
Attack!

PC Games:

Panzer General
Steel Panthers

These two games will forever be favorites.

PanzerBlitz by Avalon Hill, but my first true love was Advanced Third Reich




marjur -> RE: What was the first wargames you played? (7/2/2011 2:34:19 AM)

My first one was Conflict in Vietnam by Microprose

Conflict in Vietnam

After that, it was Decision in the Desert and Crusade in Europe, and... NATO Commander... Everything for ATARI 800XL [:D]

NATO Commander

Do you know that NATO Commander was partly written in BASIC? Actually, you could list its code.



It's a blast from the past...
