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...


One thing I thought was neat was the plastic planes were on plastic stands so they appeard to be above the map board instead of sitting on it. Just added flavor I thought.

That is about all I remember about it though.

I am 45 and love gaming still.

My first game for Christmas was Avalon Hill Panzer Blitz, couldn't find anyone to play it except my dad and he quit after a few times.

LOL I ran into the same problem. I can't remember what my first game was, but was definitely Avalon Hill whatever it was, I had many. I would recruit someone to play me, and destroy them, ergo no more opponent... I am not saying I was that good, but I was interested in tactics, and they weren't, with the predictable outcomes. It wasn't until I was in the Navy that I found worthy opponents.



Mifune -> RE: Our Ages..... (11/5/2006 7:56:06 AM)

I am 47, not counting chess and Stratego my first game that I still remember is AH Panzerblitz. With Strategy & Tatics soon after. My first computer game that I owned was the original Koei Romance of the Three Kingdoms playing it on a friends 386. It was a good arrangement, I could not afford a PC and hid wife did not want him to spend more money on the PC. We got our moneys worth, by spending many hours playing.



bilbow -> RE: Our Ages..... (11/5/2006 9:48:19 AM)

Now 56. First game was Tactics II as a birthday present when about 11.

A few years later discovered SPI, and got really hooked. Now I'm a WITP addict.

I ran across an old copy of Tactics II after I was into the Squad Leader series. At first glance it was quaint, I thought. A buddy of mine and I started playing it, and soon forgot about Squad Leader. Tactics II was FUN!

I wish I still had the thing...

buzzz123 -> RE: Our Ages..... (11/6/2006 2:39:07 PM)

This is kind of like a 'wargamers anonymous' confessional....

"Hi, my name is Buzzz. I am 36 years old. And i am a wargaming addict...."



The names not REALLY Buzzz (duh!), but i am 36. Been playing for about 20 years. Thought i was the only wargamer on the planet (or at least the only one in the Southern Hemisphere) for most of that time.

First games?? a very average thing called Falklands '82. Anyone else ever see it?

All time favourites? Most of the old SSG collection on C64. And of course WitP!!


Amazing that a thread started 6 years ago is still running. We all need to get a life!




tocaff -> RE: Our Ages..... (11/6/2006 5:47:13 PM)

56 and I started out on Avalon Hill board games, the first of which was Midway.  I've been at it ever since.

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]


Not impossible, just don't remember how to do it anymore. [8D]. I did love SeaLance missile/torpedo combo too ! I think the game (Red Storm Rising) is on Underdogs site if someone likes to try..[8D]

Tactics II would have been a decent game if Charles Roberts hadn't been such a BlueFanBoy.

Naskra -> RE: Our Ages..... (11/7/2006 11:46:14 PM)

The Tactics II database for a Red Inf Div gives an Assault Value of 1 (!) and a range of 1 (!!).  The historical
TO&Es for this unit indicate at least twice that.  IRL any 1/2" square red cardboard counter would be more than a match for any blue "citizen-soldier" formation.

I doubt it. Anyway, if you really think red got robbed you can easily mod the unit stats.
