What is your age? (poll)

[Lasse]

ROFL And there is no escape possible from the hordes of paradox it seems...

[John_C]

49 and still have a couple of cavalry charges left in me,

[John_C]

I have a feeling the larger brackets seem to relate to those folks who were young when boardgames really started to take off. I'm thinking of Avalon Hill and games like Squad Leader (or ASL).

I still fondly remember Gettysburg '77 as one of my first games.

Blitzkrieg was my first board wargame, Afrika korps after that. Both Avalon Hill. I discovered the hobby around 1975.


Don't know if I mentioned before that one of the board wargames that I enjoyed very much, and that I still have is "The Civil War" by Victory Games.

I'm tempted to post a poll:

"Which of the following images comes to your mind when you hear tremy and pasternakski talking"

I know *exactly* what you mean

I'm the handsome one.As long as I've put my teeth in !

I have edited the poll. The two voters who where in the 65+ category can ask me if they don't fit the right category now, I will alter the poll on their answer.

[rasnell]

Very nice to see the spread between teens and over 65. There's hope for wargames and AEGOD if they can attract that mix. I'm somewhere in between 14 and 65.

I've been for a fit for a new suit but never for a poll !
I'm 65 so you got me right.
Does this mean I get free games from AGEOD until I'm 75 and then I'm to be put down?
Also am I correct in thinking that you have to obey my orders to produce a game on the Welsh wars for independence during the 12-13-14 centuries,the wars of Frederick the great etc.?
Getting my history degree in 1963 gave me the excuse to play wargames as a necessary part of my work.Avalon Hill.SPI,James Dunnigan through to AGEOD.Thanks for revitalizing this older kid.

Anybody who plays wargames never get old, it is the others who remain not young...

[Franciscus]

38, but still feeling 20.

The sad (or not) part is that my love for good PC gaming (not only wargames...) is increasingly a platonic one (as in only in one's mind), due to the "other" things that go with adult life (wife, kids, job, you know...).

Good gaming !

Well, whenever I'm confused, I just check my underwear. It holds the answer to all the important questions.

I think the happiest entity above is the bacteria "Escherichia coli"...

[type7]

In the 25-29 category, but only for another 6 months

[Mike_Toth]

Ack... ok .... the big "50" this year... how sucky

[Zoetermeer]

Now I like this forum even more...I don't have to feel like I'm aging anymore at 26...

I feel a little too close to the big 3-0.

[emu]

53 now and started about 40 years ago with board games. Using a martial art to keep the body flexible and gaming cause I can't shake the addiction. A programming job tends to keep the mind flexible so I can't use that as an excuse.

[RevJack]

I am 60 and counting....hehe. Pushed many a cardboard chit around in my day and have been enjoying computer games since 1991....geeze, I feel real old all of a sudden just kiddin.....still feel 20!!

[tomjun]

playing and being here:THATS WHAT MATTERS
For board games try Drang Nach Osten,Fire in the East
Iam Waldorf by the way

[Generalisimo]

I am in the biggest category of "young players"... just 27 yo.

[oi_you_nutter]

although my official age is 41, people say that i act like i am 5

[Jabberwock]

The day I turned 39, I started acting like I was 3, 13 times a day.

[PBBoeye]

Got you beat. At 41, I tend to have the up/down nature of a 4 year old.

[Schmidt]

A voté 35

[Spharv2]

That's a nice little bell curve we have going there.

[HeinzBaby]

New to the AGEOD Forums but a fantastic lurker
50 years old, I was an avid boardgamer, SPI was my favorite publisher back then in the late 70's and 80's. I loved the 'Great Battles of the American civil War' series along with 'Bloody April' and 'Terrible Swift Sword' to name a few.
I have both of the 'Mad Minute' sims and am currently going throu the AACW demo.

[gekkoguy82]

24 here...long time civil war buff, but though i would buy some terriffic board based war games i could never find opponents....so wierdly enough, the opponents i did find (namely myself) always seemed to know what i was going to do

[Henry D.]

34 (35 in a couple of weeks) and right on top of the bell curve...

About 20 years of playing various tabletops from Avalon Hill at al. under my belt, too...

I'm sooo mainstream around here...

[Canaris]

Ah, at last one forum were I'm a youngster (just 53 years!)
