Compton was here

Your introduction to consim gaming:

Richthofen's War, way back in 4th grade. My father brought it home from Gemco, put it in my lap and said "have fun." I did.

Your favorite game(s):

Next War, Russian Campaign, Fortress Europa, Sinai, most of the old SPI stuff.

What game(s) are you currently playing (solitaire, FTF, PBEM, etc.) or wish to play next?

Atlantic Wall, Central Front series, Assault Series

What game(s) have you played recently?

Working on States of Conflict, Millennium Wars Advanced game design at this time for the good folks at ATO magazine.

In general, how much time do you spend gaming?

6 hours per week.

How big is your game collection?

Maybe 100 or so, including magazine games. I try not to be a collector and only keep things that interest me. Mostly my games cover modern conflict.

Your local game club(s) and/or where you reside (let's network!)

Now residing in a hotel in Fairfax, VA. Hopefully permanent home is on the horizon. Lots of short sales around here, and getting one is always a treacherous process. The way these banks are operating they deserve to fail.

About Me

I am a Ph.D candidate in political science at Claremont Graduate University (having just passed my qualifying exams and survived what must have been the most stressful six weeks of my life). My fields are international relations and formal modeling. My research focuses primarily on irregular warfare, violent non-state actors, and deterrence.

Personal Interests (favorite activities, movies, shows, books, music, etc.)

I watch more TV than I used to these days now that I have a baby daughter, but I used to spend most of my spare time reading. My little girl has really added a lot to my life. I look forward to teaching her wargaming.
