Profile Information
- Your introduction to consim gaming:
- I had the usual MB/Parker Bros. games as a kid-Battlecry,1863,PT109 etc. When I was 13 I saw in our local J.C. Penny store AH's Waterloo & Gettysburg so these were my first true wargames. Stalingrad , Africa Korps,Battle of the Bulge soon followed.I then discovered these wonderful wargames at the Hallmark book/gift store that were in these flat plastic trays-the good ol' SPI games!. Thats when my gaming and collecting really took off. So with this I was able to be a gamer in the Golden Age/Back in the Day era for the hobby( 1970's) Haven't look back since.
- Your favorite game(s):
- My favorite games are OSG/CoA Napoleon at Leipzig and NES Dresden & Napoleon on the Danube and Decision games S&T's Clash of Eagles on Borodino & Friedland. after that any of the old SPI quads and Conflict Co. games. I guess any of the old SPI,GDW,AH or Rand games from the old days are up in the ranks and the ones I play the most. I should add in the new Napoleonic20 series from Victory Point Games,well all the games from VPG are now in the list. and also all the GMT games.
Come to think of it, any good game that perks my interest is on my favorite list.Any GMT game is right at the top.
- What game(s) are you currently playing (solitaire, FTF, PBEM, etc.) or wish to play next?

- Same thing as currently playing. post on the "Whats on the Table,Out of the Wrapper" folders for updated info

- work days -3 hours a day, weekends maybe 4-5 hours a day.add more time for research etc for my game designs.

- 2,800+ .Yes it's that big! maybe even heading close to 2,900. Hey,been in the hobby for 39 yrs.

- About Me

I'm now retired and loving it.more time for reading,gaming and game designing. I have two games already published-Vittoria20 and Austerlitz20 by VPG
- Personal Interests (favorite activities, movies, shows, books, music, etc.)
- I like movies of all kinds except the newer horror ones( give me the old 30's-40's horror movies).Any SF from the 50's.. any John Wayne movie,All war movies or James Bond.
I even like the so called romance/chick flicks.
