Thanks, you all for having me. I think, I've been reading here for some time and I might know a pseudonym or two from other games and eboards (kato most likely). Always nice to feel welcome in a new community.
I'm a historian by training, but work in university administration these days. I never played T2K, but read through a lot of the old stuff. Lately, I backed the new edition, which I hope to play some time. I did however play a lot of RPGs, wargames and several cosims over the last 25+ years. It all started with MERP, CT, 40k and BT.
My personal military experience was short, I was an amored infantry soldier in the Bundeswehr (Panzergrenadier) shortly before 9/11, when serving as a conscriptee. I've been interested in Cold War history and CWGH narratives since before that. At some point, I hope to write some longer narrative for such a scenario, but as of now, I have no idea, if this would be game content, fiction or what not.
Happy gaming! Thread necromancy might actually happening.
