If you'd ever be interested in some old-fashioned, head-to-head, boardgaming let me know. I think all I have left is ASL & Flat-Top, but those were both classics. Love to. would require some serious bartering with Wife 1.0... Well, if you can get her to agree, great! [:)] PBEM is fun, but it's missing something that H2H boardgaming seems to have. I wouldn't be able to do anything before the holidays, but that would give you some time to negotiate with wife 1.0. Any preference as to the game? I've played a bunch (especially many/most of the old Avalon Hill titles) and had fun with all of them. Because of WitP I'm particularly interested in the Pacific war right now, so Flat Top would be my choice. But there's probably a couple dozen games I'd be happy to play.

" Well, if you can get her to agree, great! PBEM is fun, but it's missing something that H2H boardgaming seems to have." I had a gaming pal in the late '70's and early '80's whose wife would bring us beers and cook us meals while we would spend the most part of a weekend gaming. It happened on average one weekend a month. Those were the days...In '84 his company moved him to Wisconsin or Minnesota and I've been unable to track him down since...

39 yrs here. Started with Squad Leader tabletop game and with C-64 comp games. I think first C-64 games were Knights of the Desert and a Normandy invasion game of same genre.

I still have this game on my PC and play it sometimes its kind of easy but gives a lot of fun... the only bad thing about it is that i do not know how to relad ordnance during the fight... or is it impossible[:D]

BigJ62 -> RE: Our Ages..... (11/3/2006 5:11:36 PM)
No idea been years ago since I played it.

Turned the big 5-0 a few weeks ago - and for all you younger guys out there: "Life is still GOOD....oh yah", you are as old as you let yourself become...makes me about 24 [:D] I cut my gaming teeth on Milton Bradley's American Heritage series games like 'Hit The Beach' and 'Dogfight!' back in the mid 1960s. Then by 1968 I discovered the wonderful world of Avalon Hill - with Jutland and Battle of the Bulge....the beginning of a life long addiction.

44 here. I got started on Axis & Allies in a garage in Marquette, Michigan. Moved on to Red Storm Rising, then War in Russia. I live for the day where we get a World War 2 game covering the entire conflict, with WITP detail. </drool>

33 years old here. I started gaming with C64. (Spy Hunter, Blue Max, Red Storm Rising, Airbourne Ranger, etc) Just to name few games out of my memory.

OK - pop quiz time for you Dogfight fans: who was piloting the Allied airplane on the cover of Dogfight (and no fair using search engines!) [:-] [:D]

bradfordkay -> RE: Our Ages..... (11/4/2006 6:27:14 AM)
Gawd, I had Dogfight, too. I'd forgotten it as I really can't consider any Milton Bradley product a real wargame! I recall nothing about the gameplay...

40 here. Ooops, its after midnight. 41 now. Had a date with a 21 year old last night, though. Man it was great! Shortly after we moved on to the fruit spreads, I woke up. My dachsund sure gave me a weird look this morning....

Redd -> RE: Our Ages..... (11/4/2006 6:09:37 PM)
I'll be 42 in january. My first game was Avalon Hill's France 1940. I never could find anyone to play it with, but I still bought many other games. Thank God for computers or I probobly never would have gotten back into gaming.

VSWG -> RE: Our Ages..... (11/4/2006 6:35:04 PM)
Happy birthday, AU Tiger! [:)]
