Greetings Gentlemen,
I am a new Cadet in training. I joined the CSA because it seemed the right and honorable thing to do, considering.
I started officially wargaming back in 1977 at the young age of 11, my mother is at fault by giving me four games from the Avalon Hill Game Company called; Afrika Korps, D-Day, Bulge and Waterloo. The following summer of 1978 for my birthday I dutifully received; The Russian Campaign, PanzerBlitz, Panzer Leader, and Luftwaffe. That Christmas (1978) I got Third Reich, Anzio, France 1940 and Chancellorsville. She made sure I was set for life as a wargamer now.
Those early wargames came right after my introduction to military history (age 10) and allowed me to explore history while playing a game! The best of both worlds. I eventually went onto purchase and collect over 500 of the things. I got into SL in 1979 or 1980 and then in 1985 went full into ASL. I am still active in board wargames and play a lot on VASSAL, really just getting into the Great Battles of the American Civil War (GBACW) by SPI and TSR as well as MMP's SCS series of games.
I first discovered PC wargames around 1995 or so when I saw game called Steel Panthers, played the heck out of that game and then SSI went belly up and I got into Talonsoft games East Front/West Front and The Operational Art of War. I have also been a beta tester for a few game companies such as Decision Games (Computer War in Europe 2), Shrapnel Games Steel Panthers WW2 and MBT, Matrix Games (War in the East 1 & 2, Warplan, Warplan Pacific, Valor & Victory, Flashpoint) and now as a tester for WDS.
What I really love about the WDS games is the similarity and amount of games they have like how the old board game company SPI had when they were in existence. I owned a lot of SPI titles and likewise I own just about all the WDS titles except for the Naval series.
Anyway looking to have some fun playing folks here in the ACW games.
