Synjin that sounds similar to my situation. I'm 34, My Dad weened me on board Games. He and his friends used to play alot of Squad Leader.
He also set up a Sandtable in our basement, about 12' by 8' in size with two access holes in the middle. They used to play games using thier own rules with 1/35 th scale armor buildings and troops. Sort of a hybrid based on squad leader. Very impresive looking(He was even on TV showing it off Once). Unfortunately I was considered too young to play, bummer.
They also divided up the basement once into two rooms with a curtain in between and used micro warships and subs to play out 3d wolfpack games( they used a very clever device made from PVC and mirrors and binoculars to create a periscope for the sub player)they used red lights in the op room, made for a real cool effect.
My early love in gaming was AD&D (also a Gary Grigsby masterpeice- still going strong from what I hear). Once the computers became cheaper we used the atari 800xl alot(I still have one mint in box)
I remember playing lots of cosmic balance, war in russia, Pacific war, carrier strike.
Thanks for the post Brady, its been fun.
