Hobbys

I am playing wargames since 1979, started with some classics from Avalon Hill (Africa Korps, Flat Top) and SPI (Panzer '44, Starforce), proceeded with Squad Leader, and then with models, DBA, DBM, and Spearhead. I played a lot at the Army Wargamers Association , a club run mainly by soldiers of the British Army of the Rhine in Germany.

See my wargaming website at Jimdo.

Here a photo of my DBM army.

Often I am using a nearly perfect simulation on the PC from Battlefront - Combat Mission, which comes in noumerous versions. Any situation imaginable can be simulated using this software.

Combat Mission: Red Thunder

Combat Mission: Fortress Italy

Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg

But my love for tabletop games reawoke with Full Thrust und Black Seas by warlordgames

My fleet; completely ready now.

Full Thrust on one and Black Seas on the other side of my endless terrain.

Since 2009 I am riding a bike again, a Kawasaki ER6F with 72 hp. As much fun as it always was.

The Kawa was a little too small for two persons, so I decided to buy a Suzuki 650 V-Stream in 2014. More comfortable and still much fun.

Since some time I own two vehicles from Sturmkind.com. A simulation on the mobile telephone controls the car with simulated 550 HP! Real fun, but not so simple.

Even a tank can drift, like the M113 I had during my time at the Bundeswehr. Model made of cardboard.
