My first wargame was the old Metagaming pocket game, Chitin:I. I had
ordered OGRE, but Metagaming sent me the wrong item. Instead of getting
all buggery and sending it back (being all of, what, maybe 13?), I opted
to just check it out. I liked it, and re-ordered OGRE (and Melee), and
go what I wanted the second time around. I decided I liked gaming so
much
at that point I saved my precious $$ up to buy Arnhem: A Bridge Too Far
and Basic D&D. The rest, as they say, is history...

Wish you could make it out to Lancaster, PA, in a couple weeks. :-/
