Original title huh?
In response to the message asking me to stick a quick bio up -
I'm 65, retired, moved back to sunny Lancs on retirement (back to my home town of St Annes after 40 years away in darkest NE Scotland). No experience of the game at all, but it's always been a fascination of mine - I did play some wargames back in the 60's 70's, mainly WW2 armour. Made lots of models, less so in the past few years as my eyesight is going, but that hasn't stopped me ordering up some 1/144 models (Shapeways) that'll I'll be trying to turn into WoG planes for a bit of a change from the computer. Most gaming has been on the PC, playing strategy games quite a lot over the years.
Thanks to Covid I won't be getting out a great deal, along with the rest of you no doubt, but I'd quite like to take in a model show sometime next year, and I've a vague memory of hearing about a wargaming club hereabouts somewhere that I'll try to find out about as and when we look likely to be allowed out again.
I DID once write a dogfight game on the Atari ST many years ago (I've produced a few programs over the years, a couple have even sold to non-relatives!) that was actually based on an old computer wargame on the Commodore 64 called 'Eagles' - WoG is very similar, so I'm expecting to feel quite at home when I unwrap my surprise present (WoG starter set, Se5 and Albatros) on Christmas morning.
Keep safe,
Dave
