So, will you tell about yourself, Uncle-PDF?

Well, I'm French , still 38 (not for long...), with 3 kids : 6, 2, and the Last only 3 months .

I started my playing career in the Golden Age of Wargames in the late 70s and early 80s, when I was student. I played much AD&D at that time also.
Then in the mid 80s I got an Apple IIC, then a PC and since then I've played a host of war games, strat games and RPG.
I'm a TBS guy and don't like action/RTS stuff.

Since 97 I write reviews and articles for French war/strat games mag VaeVictis, Cyberstratège and PC4War.
Professionnally I work in Bank Information Systems for a major French bank.
That's it kiddies !

I am also of old age
But I have a young heart

my age is 5(^2).

I started playing strat games at the age of six.
With an old TBS called chess...

I am married. no kids. I have a beautiful german pointer dog called flipo.
I love to read R.A. salvatore, Troy Dening, play basketball and piano.

I am Belgian, 38, married, 2 daughters (7 and 4). Lawyer and technical analyst in an Italian company. Basically I'm a WW2 wargamer (able to argue for hours about the real accuracy of the M1 Bazooka using a M6A3 rocket, or the exact number of HMG used on paper by a German Volksgrenadier Company). You see what I mean...
I mostly played Squad Leader, then the Steel Panthers serie. Played AD&D when I was student.
I was also hooked by Colonization in 1993 and played more and more 4X games since then (esp. EU and EU2). Wrapped up in dom1 since March 2002. Eventually I compiled on freewebz all informations I could find on usenet and other forums.

WOW! Lot of 'real' adults here! I am surprised, but really!

Im not suprised that all the 30-years-old Grognards are here...
Im suprised that there are some people here who are not 30-years-old Grognards...

Nothing bad about being about a 30-years-old Grognard, because i plan to be one too...
I'll be like Uncle-PDF when i grow up!

hi there

i'm 23, computer science student in switzerland. i am a dominions addict for more than a year now, but i only recently ordered the full game.

the first computer game i played was 'dark castle' for the good ol' mac plus (if i remember right). from there i switched to the strategy genre (civilization, dune, command & conquer, warcraft, master of orion 1 & 2). besides dominions, i'm currently playing "heroes of might & magic 3" and "sid meiers alpha centauri".

my favourite operating system is debian gnu/linux (www.debian.org); but now and then i prefer to boot into ETH Oberon (www.oberon.ethz.ch).

besides studying, coding and gaming i play trombone and enjoy a really good time with my girlfriend.

well, i guess that's it for the moment.

cheers
