Most of my S&T’s and Command magazines are from the 90’s. The only old SPI game I have is “The Next War” (WWIII in Germany). After the Berlin Wall fell I was scrounging up every Cold War game I could get my hands on.

I do have a lot of old Avalon Hill Games and some Victory Games games, plus a few GDW games.

I bought a lot of board wargames in the 90’s but most of the playing I did was historical miniatures (Napoleon’s Battles, Konig Kreig, Command Decision, Fire & Fury, & General Quarters). After my first son was born in 2001, my game playing has dropped dramatically.

I have a cousin who had most of the Avalon Hill games. Being a short-atttention-span high schooler I never really got the concept of those games. He regularly trounced me at Midway, Guadalcanal and probably a couple others.

When I went to college in the 1970’s, my game playing dropped off. With the advent of personal computers, my game playing resumed. I really liked Panzer General II and now enjoy the Blitzkrieg series. I don’t like first person shooter games, I prefer the strategy games. Much more opportunity for destruction on a far greater scale.
