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

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.
