Hmmm, looks like I'm the old guy again! Ah, well it is as they say a
long story, but I'll try to keep it short. I'm 51, on my third
relationship, no kids. Began wargaming in 1963 with AH Tactics,
Dispatcher
(if any of you remember this game!!) and U-Boat.
After a stint in the military from 1966 to '69, I began playing
miniatures using old minifigs, hinchliffe and scruby figures. Have
spent most of my adult life involved in miniature gaming of one sort
or another. My heart is in historical gaming (I love Napoleonics,
Ancients and ACW), but I playtested Star Wars, D&D (although I didn't
know if at the time!) and I enjoy the occasional board game still.
Jon Tuffley got me back into microscale gaming with DS2 and I love
the system! SGII was a big surprise - fastest moving game for its
level of complexity I've EVER played, and I've played a lot of them.
Started Geo-Hex in 1985, and the company kept me so busy the first
few years I hardly gamed at all! I picked up Silent Death at its
initial release and was so pleased with the game that I went looking
for Sci-Fi product that I could sell, and was introduced to Jon by a
mutual friend, Bob at Jenkintown Hobbies in PA. Since then I've
become a dyed in the wool GZG gamer with emphasis on DSII, and I
still pursue my love of historical games and miniatures as well.
