Choplifter. Great game!

I'm 45, been playing computer wargames since, uh some training sim in CIC on my ship (USS Coontz, DDG-40, since scrapped ) in the late 70's. Actual board wargames since before then, but I can't remember how long.

yep, I just think its interesting as to the type of gamers that play SE4 and from where. It also sort of breaks the ice for newbies, the ages of us here is quite different compared to many other sights and games

I'm 38, Swiss, and got hooked on strategy games when I bought my first computer, an Atari ST, about 15 years ago. I cannot spend a single day without devoting a few hours to gaming. My mother used to tell me I would grow out of playing games and listening to heavy metal music, but she was wrong: just got "worse"

Gotta go play...

I'm 54, American, and live in the Pacific Northwest. My first wargame was AH's D-Day and I love military history and sci-fi. Was a Marine in Vietnam in '69 and '70 and have been in law enforcement for some 30 years. Have an extensive collection of board games, miniatures and computer games (going back to my Atari 800, ColecoVision and even an original Pong game machine?!). Looking forward to SEIV Gold having just begun Weber's "The Shiva Option".

I'm 17, I live in the State of Washington, I'm on my way to the Army under Delayed Entry Program(meaning I'll be gone by September), and I'm probably one of the most politically incorrect white boys ever to live

Actually, incorrect may be just the right description. Do you really think your login name is funny?

Lord Kodos, The members on the forum don't discriminate by age or by anything else, we go by how one acts and behaves on the forum, that's what dictates as to how everyone either accepts you or not. Its up to you and how you present yourself... Its one's own choice... You won't find any flaming, flame wars, discrimination or otherwise on this forum compared to others. One time we had one person way back that tried to stir up some trouble here on the forum but he was removed and rightly so by the admin and by the outcry of the Forum's members. That type of action is not acceptable here.

In fact, if I remember correctly way back, I thought I even saw some members that are younger then you here, so enjoy yourself...
