Hmm. It appears that I haven't given my own wargaming "curriculum
vitae".

Age 35, married (12 years), no kids, one dog. Started wargaming when I
was about 11. I graduated from playing with GI Joe Action Team figures
to wargames with the help of some old Airfix Napoleonic highlanders
versus a mixed bag of French using some atrociously simple rules. (I
was outnumbered but my opponent came at me in three waves; I won.)
From there I graduated to Featherstone's and Grant's books, mainly
because they were the only books I could get. My first board game was
_Panzer Leader_ which I got for my 13th birthday. Two years later I
played my first game of D&D. The game I play most often right now is
some variation of Call of Cthulhu, as that's what my social group is
into.
