Your introduction to consim gaming:

Born and raised in Newport News VA, I was raised playing on the grounds at Fort Monroe, NASA Air and Space Museum, The Jet Park on Mercury Boulevard, and all the museums in the area. At the age of 12 we moved to rural WV, where the only board games were chess, checkers, and monopoly. At the age of 19 I meet my friend Kai, who gives me a short intro to wargaming, but moves away, and gets married, and so do I.
Kai and I rekindle our freindship 20 years later, and he introduces me to wargaming. I say "Thats sort of geeky", but I try it, and Im hooked.
Now I spend many hours trying to learn as many games as I can, sometimes even painting my little memoir guys, or trying to design some fun variation of a game to see if I can do it.Its amazing after all these years of not quit knowing what to do I find War gaming.
