There is some stuff that we are going to try in pill form to see if it works. Diagnosed in 2001, but, had some effects since 91. I was 31 and back in the army, so never thought about it.

Warhorse - Don't worry. Hippies are people too! :)

Haha, yes we are!!!

Just flipped over to 63. Yep, Diabetes type 2 a few years back. A snap. Beating cancer this past year. Takes a lot more to beat down this olde Bohemian. Bring on Covid baby. Buhahaha!

Also for us older guys we are wondering who still has any hair left?

So as a starting point we have Dodo98 at 24 years as our youngest player, any anyone better that? Annoyingly he still has a full head of hair!

Also we have Jim at 69 years for the oldest player, I suspect we have some guys older than that? He confirms almost all his hair has "gone south"

I am 56 and as "bald as a coot", so no awards for me............

not sure if I already answered this ....lol........turned 78 in December

I am 17, am I the youngest? :d

Pretty much in the middle here at 56. First wargame was AH's 1776, which my impertinent boyish curiosity led me to discover in an aunt's sewing room - she'd bought it from a magazine ad thinking it was a book she'd give to a friend, apparently, and on receipt had set it aside without another thought until I dug it up. Which just goes to show that you can end up with a life sentence for someone else's mistake.

69 going on 70 this coming November. A full head of mid gray hair with a salt & pepper beard & stache. First started war gaming with AH Gettysburg c. 1962. Oh my, 60 years ago!

23 here. I am lucky enough to have at least a few friends around my age who are into wargames. The genre certainly isn't falling out of favor anytime soon.
