Wow! Lot's of good input above!
I got involved in boardgames at the ripe age of about 12 when I saw a "Broadside" game being played. Then it was Tactics 2 in about 1965, as I recall, and many, many, other board games after that. We used to play-by-mail, a real hoot for people nowadays that are not familiar, using stock market number results for combat resolution (to replace the die roll)!
At about 16, I was introduced to 25mm Napoleonic miniatures, and that went on for several years, but my real interest was antiquity, which I got into heavily over tyhe next 30 years. Switched from 25mm miniatures to 15mm miniatures somewhere along the line. Wrote some ancient rules and still game it once in awhile.
It was at "Historicon" in Pennsylvania many years ago when I saw one of the vendors with a computer (very rare at that time), and he was doing a demo on East Front. Talonsoft! I loved the graphics and idea of the game, and nowadays I play CS as my primary game of choice, but still do bit of miniature gaming now and then.
The Blitz has been a staple for computer wargames for many years, and I'm very happy & pleased that so many good people have stayed with the Blitz!
All we need now is a good annual Blitz wargaming convention here in the states!
