[Donan]

Well I'm in the 60+ crowd too (barely)

[RELee]

Hmm. I've posted twice in this thread and "conveniently" forgot to give my age both times.

53, with 54 looming ever larger as December nears.

The first war boardgame I played was one of Gettysburg. That would be almost 34 years ago now.

[Dunhill_BKK]

OK, now what? I've moved into the next bracket.

Just over the hill at 40.

[boajack]

[GrudgeBringer]

I'm on my way to 60....57 here. Yellowhammer did you ever play Civil War generals 2 online at the Sierra site? I was a Moderator on there and Played as GrudgeBringer on there also.

[Paul Roberts]

I just turned 39 in December. I've been playing computer games since 1979 (on my TRS-80) and tabletop wargames/RPGs since about 1980.

I started young!

[Fouche]

Oh...my word...my age...is 58...I have been playing - painting...dealing with all aspects of wargaming since I bought my first Avalon Hill game..Afrika Korps and my first miniature rules book...'War Games in Miniature' by Joseph Morschauser (then of course CLS [Column, line, and square) and 'Charge or How to Play Wargames' by Young. Let us say since 1962/63.
Computer type games of course came a wee bit later...

It's interesting to see that the fan base for these games is a much more adult crowd.

[Rafiki]

Indeed, I don't think there are many games out there where a 33-year old as myself is below the median player age

Speak for yourself! (How dare he call me an adult?!)

[oldspec4]

I turn 57 next month...started w/ a Milton Bradley American Civil War boardgame in 1960-61?

RELee, I thhink he means "adult" as in "high age", rather than "adult" as in referring to our maturity and behaviour

37 and counting. I was an Amiga user in early 90s. Joan of Arc and Lords of the rising sun (2 great games back in the day) introduced me to the strategy genre. I wish that AGEOD would do somethign similar like Joan of Arc (100 years war) and 30 yw. Yeah, I like loooong campaigns.

Y'know, while you wait for AGEOD to give the HYW a treatment, why not check out Montjoie in the meantime?

[Tirailleur]

I'm 35. It's time to wake the emperor in me.

[Kev_uk]

I am 36, being in the majority age bracket here...

[Longhairedlout]

Hi everyone, Im 33, about the same as everyone here

[Dgold]

I'm 52.

First started playing WWII miniature battles in 1967. Been collecting and playing wargames since then.

Favourite period of war is WWI, favourite country to wargame: Russia.

[Coregonas]

39

My first game was ANZIO AH (before I did play a spanish "NAC" easy wargame about Spanish Civil WAR)... I quickly dived into AH games!

Yes turn-based-games seems the people we 30-45 years old like...

[Blue.Raider88]

45 and holding. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I've played my share of war / civilization / strategy games. I'll try to report my experiences clearly and contribute to the development with constructive criticisms.

[Rafiki]

Sounds good, Blue Raider; welcome to the forums

[Carnium]

Its so good to see that I am 30 but still young for this forum standards

My first wargame was Johnny Reb 2 for the C=64

[Christophe.Barot]

50, am almost young here, lol

for once, I am not the "wild survivor"


first boardgames, J-P defieux napoléon à Austerlitz and AH The Russian Campaign (plus add Diplomacy) - was in 1979, I was 22 then (sigh ) , young and handsome ... ok, forget the handsome

first computer games, must have been some SSI at a friends , on an Apple II , mostly superpowers and russian front (or campaign) , if I remember well - games have improved since, but i'll always remember them - never tried Diplomacy by computer, according to reports, computer played strategically like an erratic noob (just kick the targets in center, and so on ..)

[Stwa]

So far, I'm one of the youngsters here, it seems, at 33.

(Relatively speaking, of course )

Nope, apparently I am the only one in my age category.

[McDuff]

29 ! one of the youngests !
