All right, let's go the other direction. Other than Erich, who I think has me beat by just a few years, I am probably closer as to being one of the older members - 46 years, one month, 16 days 18 hours, 20 minutes and aging as of this posting. Bill
Bill...Erich still has you beat. I seem to remember him telling me that he'll reach the big 5-oh in August of this year...(dun dun dun) As for me Chaos, I'm 17...but I'll be 18 in 58 days (wooo ya!)...and as far as I know I'm one of the few female posters here....neato! DUCE
That is a bit of a rarity on this board, i mean, we get some female members, but very few stay around. And none make nearly as many posts or know as much about this topic than Duce, (Imho) CvM

I'm 16, born on November 15th. 1941, november 15th On the Eastern Front... The German attack on Moscow is renewed. The plan stated is to involve tank forces which are to drive with converging attacks from the north and south of the capital. General Guderian's 2nd Panzer Group begins advancing from Tula, while the 3rd and 4th Panzer Group will advance from the north toward the Moscow Canal. The infantry armies on the flanks are to make supporting attacks. What special happened on YOUR birthday? www.onwar.com can help you find out... yay!
