Hi Droplede,

I too am a newspaper copy editor, though I'm 39. In two weeks I head back to Japan to ply my trade again.

I am a married, 38 year old, computer programmer. I enjoy playing board games and strategy computer games, when time permits. Computer Game favorits include: Stars! and SEIV. I tend to dislike Real-time games because they become click fests with no time for thinking through tactics. Favorite Wargames include GMT's GBOH series, AH's Third Reich, Republic of Rome, Dune, and Civilization (Original and Advanced).

I am 32, computer programmer(seems like a profession of the majority here), married with 2 kids. My first game, and still one of my Favorites, was "La Battle de la Moscow"(Borodino board game) when I was in high school. Have been playing war and strategy games ever since. My favorite themes are Napoleonic, WWII and 4X. Have a large collection of Napoleonic miniatures that I have painted my self with intent to make a model battlefield....

Aahh Moscow, great game. One of the prettiest counter sets ever. I wish they could duplicate it for the computer, although Talonsofts effort was good.

Yes, 'Napoleon in Russia' is a very good copy of that game(played it a lot of times)!

I'm 22, a research assistant in Biology at the University of Michigan. I'm also variously a would-be professional science fiction writer [blatant plug] Check out my story in As Seen on the Web[/plug], sometime web designer, sometime violinist, as well as a lot of other things that take up time from gaming. I play almost exclusively strategy and spaceflight-sims.

I'm 28 and just got married two months ago. I have a PhD in Physics and am working in the Silicon Valley doing R&D. I've always loved war and strategy based games but have never found a good group of folks to sit down and play with. Me and some buds are playing SEIV via PBEM (one turn a night)--it's been working great. Thanks Malfador for a great game! And thanks to all the Modders for their hard work--we've enjoyed using them in our PBEM games.
