[QUOTE]My grandmother got me Avalon Hill's "Bull Run" game for my 9th birthday. When I first looked at the huge box, I thought it was a giant history book (it was a "bookshelf game") which I thought was ok, but I wasn't used to reading books quite that large. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it wasn't a book at all, but a game! I was hooked from that moment on. I think within a month I was already designing variants for the game.

Yep I had that one too! It brings tears to my eyes I got rid of it 'cus I had no one who wanted to play it with me.
The first wargame I ever played was Gary Grigsbys Command HQ on a 286 or something like that. From there I had to buy every war game on board or PC my measly childhood allowance would allow. So I found a used books store that sold used board games and thats how I ended up with games like Panzeblitz and West Front twenty years after they were made. AH was not yet out of business so I bought others like June 6th DDay, Battle of the Bulge, We the People, Across Five Aprils, The Ameican Civil War, and Axis and Allies. Good Stuff!
