Me: 41, Married 17 years (she does play) with a 16 year old son. My kid
started playing when he was 7. We still game once in a while, but things
have
fallen off since he began the great girl/car quest. I figure he return
to the
fold when hes about 24.
 
 >> I haven't played any GZG games yet, but I'm doing a fair bit of
actual
wargaming - the real thing.  I'm doing (face to face) The Longest Day
(Avalon
Hill),	
 (PBeM) Napoleon and East Front (both by Columbia Games).  I'm trying 
 to get a campaign of Afrika (The Gamers) going, and I kinda want to 
 start doing Tunisia (The Gamers) solo or FtF, so that I can tackle 
 Enemy at the Gates or DAK later on...

I gotta ask: what makes you think GZG is not real wargaming? Not trying
to be
antagonistic, just curious.
