Average age of SHIII players?

Tango589 · 01-03-08, 01:23 PM

I'm 26 and have only been playing SHIII for about a week, having previously spent all my time in flight sims. Still trying to get used to the much slower nature of the game as opposed to jumping in a Spit and gunning through the skies!

Oh, yeah; waiting for days instead of an hour for something to happen makes a big difference.

And WELCOME ABOARD!

54 and not gonna get much older. I've sworn off birthdays. And while I've never served on a U-boat, I think I deserve a pension from the German Government, betwwen flying in BF-109's in IL-2, Blitzkrieg I&II, Silent Hunter III, East Front II, Company of Heroes:Opposing Forces, Aces of the Deep (god what a nightmare, but I still love it, although I can't play it), and many more...As a kid I defeated Russia in Blitzkrieg (the Avalon Hill Board Game), struggled through Advanced Squad Learder Cross Of Iron, even fought my way through Castle Wolfenstein...and many, many more.

I don't know what my attraction is to WWII Germany is, just as I don't know what or why my attraction to the Civil War South is, history is history, a story told mostly by the winners, but the losers have a story also, and they are usually not filled with devils and demons and evil beings, but people caught in a moment of time.

For every simulation I've played I read dozens of books, (okay I was a history freak before I was a game freak), I've read more books on Stalingrad than I've read newspaper articles about George W and the War in Iraq.

Because we will not know the truth about Iraq for at least 20 years, we may have a glimpse of the truth but its all crap, until the losers tell there side of the story and we don't know who the losers are yet.

So I grew up in the 60's as a fan of Roosevelt and Churchill, a lot of reading later and I know things aren't so black and white.

I'm not a Nazi, a Commie, or a Capitalist, just a a bozo trying to figure out what we have allowed people to do to us.
