ah, David, the winner gets to pick either a lap dance from a FBW or a date with the Growltigga

ROTFLMAO.. Mac you kill me, that is just so cruel, to have to pick between those two options only,.. hmmm, I pick option #3 A Date with a Kylie Clone (I would have said a date with the Chainmail Lady but I know she's on your 'Protected List' )

Cheers!

1. Lord, its hard to remember. The first actual real published wargame i ever played may have been Battletech, but previous to that we would always make up rules for how legos, star-wars action figures, or war vehicles built from dominos could kill each other. we even used measuring tapes and dice.

2. Battletech

3. Cant remember offhand, but "Bookshelf Games" made a bunch of clasic strategy type games like stratego and such, and i was playing those at a very young age.

4. Battletech

5. yep.

6. So many good ones, its hard to pick.

7. 5 or 10, depending on which answer to number 1 you like.

8. i play poorly. started at 5 or 6ish.

I didn't think Risk would count

I think we all must have played that game

And what about Battle Ship? Would it count too?

[mac5732]

I'm not sure about battleship?? I guess we could count it, so ya, why not. Also it appears that everyone or most everyone has played Risk and Chess.. That in itself is interesting at least to me.

ps. ah Dave, I'm afraid a Kyle clone wasn't in the winner's setup, however, as a consolataion prize I guess we could set the winner up with a dinner party with Barry the T-Rex or ... Gasp.... Have "The Gryphin" explain the ins and outs of Circle the Wagons and "The Gryphin" position but I don't know if one's heart could stand the exposure to that kind of excitment

If u mean computer game, Combat, Atari 2600. Egad.

3&4. What was the lst wargame Board Game you ever played?
Must have been Stratego. Where did all these cobwebs in my brain come from??

5. Do you still have the lst game you ever played? bought?
Sadly, no.

6. What is your favorite Board WarGame?
Diplomacy! What better way to set a group of friends at each other's throats?

7. How Old were you when you played your lst wargame?
Somewhere in the single digits...

8. Do you play Chess? If so what age did you start playing?
Yes, and around 8, I think. I prefer Go, though.

1. Risk. Actually still play this from time to time.
2. Hitlers war.
3. Star fleet battles. Great game
4. Federation and Empire
5. Chess. But it always flustered me.
6. A game I think was called Waterloo.

I may have to dust a few of these games off. It seems the older I get the less time you have for the pleasures of life.

chess is a good thing to teach kids when they are very young, it makes them use their minds to figure things out. I'm trying to teach my 5yr old granddaughter, its slow going but we'll see
