Welcome Uboater! Looks like our computer wargaming interests are similar  :)

Greetings Airborne Rifles - your CMANO AAR reputation precedes you.

I heard about your Northern Fury AARs on the podcast and then read a bunch - great work.

I am a big fan of CMANO being ex-Navy and enjoy creating scenarios and posting AARs.
My most (in)famous AAR more from subject than quality was gaming out an alternate ending of one of my favorite movies:

I hope to have the time to get back to CMANO especially with all the improvements/features in the latest patches.
In the meantime I will have to get my fix of CMANO from reading your AARs.

We must be close to the same age, UBoater. From Jr. High on, I always had an Avalon Hill game set up on a card table in my room, always. It's amazing how the hobby has evolved and I love the convenience, depth and availability of computer wargames.....but like the first car I bought with my own money, there is still a lot of nostalgia attached to those wonderful old games. You're among friends, bud.

Thanks Steelgrave. We are a strange bunch - wargamers growing up in the 70's and early 80's.That truly was a golden age of board/wargaming. Now board/wargames are just a part of the bigger computer/board game genre. But at least wargames survived the big dip in the 90's and appear to be going strong again.

Also I would not trade VASSAL for anything. It is the tool that lets me play games anytime/anywhere/anyone/any PC Device.
