35...right in the middle it looks like.



RevRick -> RE: Who is the youngest/oldest person here? (10/23/2004 3:53:19 AM)

Inside... I know, it's really getting difficult to wait.. But, a few more days won't really hurt. I have a major Church Wide meeting to be ready for on the 31st. So, even if I can DL, I won't be able to play for a couple of days.

Oh well..



dereck -> RE: Who is the youngest/oldest person here? (10/23/2004 3:58:32 AM)

42 myself ... though sometimes I feel like there's a 1 in front or a few zeros behind it [:D]

Nice to see that we have old farts here too. Running at 27 myself.

I'd like to hear from you oldtimers how you got into computer wargamers!

I was born on the day they invaded Okinawa. It was also Easter Sunday[:)]and April Fool's Day[;)]



Brady -> RE: Who is the youngest/oldest person here? (10/24/2004 6:05:17 AM)

36....I read some whear the average age for folks who play these games is somthing like mid 40's.



rhondabrwn -> RE: Who is the youngest/oldest person here? (10/24/2004 7:22:24 AM)

I'm 57 and my first boardgame was Avalon Hill's original Gettysburg. I think my first computer wargame was Gary Grigsby's "Guadalcanal" (and I still see the roots of WITP in that game). I had an Apple II + at that time.

Or as Homer Simpson put it " I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I am luck to get funky once a month"

42 soon to be 43 (Friday), the patch will have to wait until Saturday, the wife has "plans" for Friday. My guess is dinner, a movie, and [sm=00000116.gif]
Started with Panzerblitz/Panzergeneral in 73 and computer wargames with Kampfgruppe in 86. Favorite boardgame would be Airforce/Dauntless and the expansion (before AH rereleased it). Had a blast flying Zero's and Wildcats.

I was born the same year the Korean War broke out. That was a lot of wars ago.

I started playing strategy games right after visiting the Gettysburg BattleField on the Centennial of that battle, you guessed it my first game Avalon Hill's original Gettysburg, bought it there and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Transitioning to computer wargames was pre-ordained. In fact there’s only two reasons why I even know how to turn on a computer,

My job and computer wargames.

I needed to know how to use the damn thing, because my profession jumped in with both feet, With wargames I was having trouble-finding players that still played or for that matter had a clue about History, Warfare or Tactics,

That all changed when I found Gary, SSI, Matrixgames and the rest of you nuts. To think I even bought Steel Panthers and SPII

19 here, going to be 20 in a few months. Man, you guys are old [;)] j/k



jhdeerslayer -> RE: Who is the youngest/oldest person here? (10/26/2004 12:58:58 PM)

43 but other parts are younger...



steveh11Matrix -> RE: Who is the youngest/oldest person here? (10/26/2004 2:56:43 PM)

48, started wargaming at 14 when I discovered the books by Donald Featherstone at the local library. About three years later I found an Advert for S & T in a magazine, subscribed from (iirc) issue 30 through to 72. Along the way there were some great games, including one based on this very subject...

I don't get on with Twitc/FPS very well, I prefer 'higher level' ones. TOAW, Europa Universalis and Strategic Naval Gunnery are, to me, stand-outs, although there are others - including Steel Panthers, as a change of pace and 'level'.

Steve.

MadmanRick -> RE: Who is the youngest/oldest person here? (10/26/2004 6:10:34 PM)

I was born in 1960, so I am 44 and I can't remember exactly, what my first wargame was. I know it all began with Stratego and Risk. But, soon thereafter came Afrika Korps, Midway and Victory in the Pacific/War At Sea. Iirc, War At Sea may have been the actual first wargame, but that was SO long ago. I do remember many loooong days and nights playing Flattop, The Longest Day and Fortress Europa, back then I had a spare bedroom that I'd set my games up in and they would be safe between gaming sessions. I think my "fondest" memory was when I got into GHQ armor minitures and I decided to paint them ALL in appropriate tactical camoulflage. Talk about a pita! I still have those buggers around, after all that's quite an investment.

Skyros -> RE: Who is the youngest/oldest person here? (10/26/2004 7:27:28 PM)

Do Milton Bradley's Broadsides and Dog FIght count as wargames? If so I started playing sometime in the late 60s



tsimmonds -> RE: Who is the youngest/oldest person here? (10/26/2004 7:39:13 PM)

Dogfight, yeah, how the heck did that work? Didn't you have little plastic biplanes that you maneuvered around on a gameboard grid? And Broadside, come to think of it, that was how that worked too. I think MB just kept making the same game over and over with different pieces. But Broadside was great, all those ships with sails and masts that you blasted off. I remember being a little worried about one of my friends, he was always talking about how he was going to blow your spankers off.
