What generation are you talking about? I'm 24 and there's even a couple
guys on this list that are younger. There's young guys out there that
want or own MVs, unfortunately most want to convert them to 12V or turn
them into some off-road beast like monstergarage crap.
Now, being a long time gamer (when I've had time... Not the case for the
past 2 years) I know this chatlog talk very well. I've even hosted games
on my server - even for WWII combat. This WWII RTS has to be the
funniest thing I've read in MONTHS. I just had to share that with a few
friends...

Subject: [MV] Why we are probably the last generation to collect and
preserve Historic Military Vehicles
My nephew is a "BIG" wheel at Microsoft. Mid 30s, mega smart, hangs
with Mr. Bill. He was out visiting last summer with his brood, went into
shock anytime he was not connected for periods longer than 2 hours. Had
considerable trouble understanding why I spent so much time and money
playing with my collection, versus doing something constructive, like
learning machine language or typing messages in HEX decimal format since
it is more 'precise'.
So, he sends me this, sorta tongue in cheek, saying if I want to get
kids to understand where my vehicles come from (dark, pre history
period, BC {Before Computers}) I have to understand their ways of
recreation. It's called Real Time Strategy, a format of games where they
play roles in real time (duh!) and fight battles that happened BC.
It's humorous, but also kind of scary...... For those of us who
only use computers for e-mail and keeping downloaded manuals on, there
is a whole lot of other worlds out there. What do you suppose the
demographics are of the viewing audience of the History channel? My
daughter's 10th grade world history class spent only 4 days covering
WWII, zero days on the Korean Conflict, 2 days on Vietnam and 5 days on
the current Iraqi unpleasantness.
Anyways, while we wrench, history is, reformed? ......
If World War II Was an RTS
If World War Two had been an online Real Time Strategy game, the chat
room traffic would have gone something like this.
