Hello.  I'm new to this site.  I had created an account here a while ago and forgot about it, but when TGB was imploding last month I saw a post about this site and decided to check it out again.

My wargaming story is pretty typical: I got my first AH game when I was a kid in the late 1960s, played the AH classics for a while.  Then life came along and I dropped out of the hobby.  When I left, Panzer Leader had just come out, but Squad Leader was not out yet.  Then, a couple of years ago with the kids grown and out of the house, I decided to get back into it again and found that a lot had happened in the 40 years that I had been away.  I started buying the AH classics and some of the new games, and have now accumulated a collection that will probably last me the rest of my life.  I've been teaching myself ASL for the last couple of years and am just now getting semi-comfortable with the rules.  I play mostly solo, but today I will actually play a game (not ASL) f2f with someone from my previous job.
