I'm throwing down the gaunlet!

Born 1932 and wil be 80 in August.

Incidently I celebrated my Diamond wedding anniversary on the 5th of this month.

Get some in laddie!!

Super fantastic!
I celebrate my 28th anniversery tomorrow and I am 62 years young. I intend to skipper till the day I die, can't say that about any other game. Thinking is what counts in this, not youthful reflexes.
Not too many still come here from when I joined in 2002.
But each group of skippers always bring something to the table.
Great site and a great simulation.
This has always been a friendly, flame free place to visit.

@Telemon and Rconch

Sirs ,
Congartulations on your long lived marriages.

I hope that I will be able to celebrate as well.
I am 40 years old and married for 10 years.

I admire your courage to be able to play.
Happy hunting!

I think I'm the youngest here,13 years old.
I discovered simulators when I saw my dad playing some,and then I asked him if I could try.
I preferred CFS3,but then I slowly switched to IL2:Sturmovik.
I discovered SH3 when my dad discovered it when he was browsing through old games,at first it was too complicated for me but a few years later I dug it up again and actually tried to understand it,even without a manual,and then I discovered GWX and this site.
As you can see,I have the luck to live where 97% of the U-boat aces have been stationed,and I go drink with my parents next to Doenitz's HQ which is opened some times and acts as a museum.
The U-boat bunkers are still in good conditions,you can still see the blockships and we put a decommisioned Diesel-electric sub called the "Flore" next to them,and we can visit it once in a while as well as a museum about U-boat warfare,actually there are 2,one has a sea mine and a torpedo in front of it and is pretty boring aside from where they trained our sailors for evacuating a sub,and the other is really epic and I also touched an 88mm gun that we always use to blast merchant shipping in early war,or was it another torpedo? I don't really remember that.

I'm 60 (going on 61 in a month) and I play IL2 online with a small group from the B-17II days. I also play SH4 as well as SH3.

Cool! I had no idea you were my age! Congratulations on your long marriage. I would have been married 38 years this June, but instead I've been divorced for 27. Never remarried, but them's the breaks.

Andwii - forget what I said, it's suddenly just turned into a pensioners' meeting place.

Thank you!
Are you and I all that is left of the class of "2002" here?

[Boompus]

BTW: are there any women involved here, or is this a typical "men only (not: women not allowed)" thing... ?

[Herr-Berbunch]

At least some. I know of a handful but who knows really?
