32. Got hooked on 'Carriers at War', 'Typhoon of Steel', 'Tigers in the Snow' and 'Kampfgruppe' at a way too young age. Made my own campaigns and scenarios and hoped of being published in Run5 magazine...but which of course never happened [:)]

Before I got a C64 I bought a computerized version of AH's Squad Leader on cassette tape but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the computer or who made it. AH was king back then with their board games, didn't they put out a magazine as well? I seem to recall getting one from AH or from some company about strategy and tactics.


AH did put out a magazine - came with little games and once Squad Leader appeared they had several issues dedicated to that. Can't remember the name of it now, but I have my old copies somewhere at home. I was poorer back then - didn't subscribe for long.

EDIT: Just came to me - AH's mag was called "The General".

Strategy & Tactics is a magazine (comes with a wargame) put out by Decision Games - you can still get it. Seven issues a year, expensive if you get the game, but I love it - well worth the bucks.

Best,

Debated whether to 'fess up or not - here it goes.

I'm forty-three - started playing wargames in the early/mid 1970's.  I can't remember which came first - Tactics II, Blitzkrieg, Panzer Leader or Panzerblitz.  A friend had a copy of Sniper by SPI that we loved.  Also spent a fair bit of time with Third Reich, D-Day, and a few others.  Loved Squadleader - bought all the add-ons, but ran out of people to play with by the time ASL was out.  Still buy boardgames now and then, but only play solitaire now.

39 here. 1st wargame , thats a tough one as i started very young with airfix kits and home made rules at about 8 if i recall. best computer wargame way back when baggy trousers were popular was probably red storm rising. loved that one, but did stick mainly to table top games and AH board games.

Anyone remember SFB ? [;)] that took a lot of my time from mid teens to about 30 [;)]

That is close. Your work most be somewhere near Marlborough?

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...

Dumbass.

When Nik says he is 29 he is at least 40.

It's like anything Nik says "I kicked Speedy's arse" = Nik got spanked big time.

He's a born liar through and through

[:'(]

Pauk you look at least 60[:'(]

I’m 50.73, but not really counting. I started off With A/H in ’68-don’t remember which game was 1st as I had most of their titles (and it was a while ago). My 1st PC game was TOAW in ’98.
