I am 47. Started playing wargames on old SPI and Avalon Hill titles - The 3rd Reich!, Guns of August! - played computer games starting with old Microprose games on the C-64.
I'm 23. Started playing HOI2 at least 6 years ago, I believe only a few months after it was released.
I've been rockn HOI3 since day one through all of the patches and Semper Fi and have loved every minute. Getting pumped for FTM to come out soon!!

54 here,recently got into Paradox games.Remember losing many many hours to Silent Service 2 on the Commodore 64 way back when.
39 will be 40 in oct. start on PI games with HOI 1.1, started on computer strategic games with Master of Orion (I think), board games, good old Axis & Allies ,Risk and Settlers of Catan, RPG D&D and yes thats D&D not Advance. and truly started on Chess when my mom tough me when I was a little boy.
One of the elite Teens... I'm 16, Played HOI 2 for a year before HOI 3 came out, played that since release... HOI 2 was my first Pdox game, Rome was my first EU, and I played over 150 hrs of Vicky 2... apparently.
I'm 25. I started off with my grandpa's old Atari console (I played the original Battlezone and Space Invaders), my dad bought a PC (one of those "high-end" 66 Mhz ones with the turbo-button 
) and Dune 2 because his older brother had it. I played Warcraft 2 multiplayer when it came out using a 56k modem. The 3rd PC game I played was Starcraft, which I bought the day it came out. Now that I'm out of college and have a real job, I've expanded into other things, and got into HOI3 via a Steam ad.
I bought HOI3 the day it came out, only to find I couldn't play it more than 15 minutes before it crashed. After patch 1.3 came out and the game was stable, I started to get addicted to it, but finally realized the flaws it had (pre-SF supply system!). I got the ICE mod and enjoyed it; in fact, it's the reason I kept playing the game. However, ICE at the time was really buggy if you diverted from the historical path, and had other "issues" like missing cores and other things I personally didn't like. So, I learned to mod the game to turn it into what I want it to be, joined up with Slan who had the same ideas I did, and we made the HPP mod. I'm pretty proud of it, as elements of it are now in the vanilla game, like the Chinese guarantee on Shanxi (my work) and the new Vichy event, where Italy and Spain get rewarded for helping out (my design, Slan actually wrote it though).

Started out with AH, S&T magazine & SPI games way back. Loved "War in the East". Started playing computer games on a TRS-80 Model 1. LOL those were the days. Playing PI games since HOI1. Loved CORE for HOI1.

40. I found HOI2 about 5 years ago and have been a fan of Paradox since then, though not as much recently.
And I thought my live as a pc-gamer was about to end when I turned 30 a couple of months ago.... Seems I have at least 30 years more to enjoy games like this, without being some sort of crazy old nerd!
An old 53 years old. Been playing war games ike War in the East and Blitzkrieg since 1975 or so. Been playing HOI 2 and HOI 3 since they first came out. Just an old foxhole warrior.

I'm 18 and I've had HOI3 for a few months now.
I've always been a fan of strategy games, and Paradox takes the number one spot on my list of favorite strategy game developers. The HOI series has to be my favorite, with HOI 2 having a very special place in my heart. I really like the depth of HOI 3, though, but I have still yet to get the hang of it entirely.
Oh, and this is my first post, even though I've been signed up on these forums since February. I hope my silent stalking of this forum for the past few months can be forgiven by the lot of you.

I am 30 and have been around on the forums since the dawn of time (it seems) and I love it.
EDIT: I think I waited a few years before I posted, I was a reader, and a consumer of the mods.

26 and seem to to have less and less time to play games each year from 20 onwards by geometric progression.
