I'm allowed to be upset at Paraguay's starting position-- I haven't seen lack of sea access since Ukraine in Modern! I recently build a fleet just to see how it felt, the people of Ascunsion were not impressed.
Anyway to answer the question yes I have played on a real board, even though it was only once. In my defense though it was at the World Boardgaming Championships. I've never played the PC game though--too modern for me (I still listen to my vinyl)
I've met a few people in college which put them at the same age as me, but I"m sure a few are still in high school.

be nice Mike - Scott is one of my regular variant groupies (though
he's not a fan of Balkans1860). So no pissing him off 
If you like, I can send you a list of people who turn their nose up at
my variants, and you can be mean to them all day long. Such people
deserve abuse.

I believe Bruce Ray is the oldest player in dc, if not the world.
We dont track or ask for birthdate upon signup, tho it might be interesting
to. Might be too personal. Also kinda fun to find out what age of ppl
you're working w as you get to know them and not have that all disclosed up
front.

I can remember back to when Greg (in this game) was telling me he'd just
finished high school and was going into Brown Univ...
That was a few years back tho.
