3) 5 rupees. Why does the adult disagree with the younger self?

Because the adult sees the cash flow and the motivations behind some actions. Though that doesn’t stop me from buying a lot of things regardless 😉

(5) Tell us about how you discovered wargaming so instead ?

I’m pretty sure I mentioned it before but ok: I did military service back in the 1990s and was bored so I went to our bases shop and there was a strange little magazine called “White Dwarf” and it had a game in it called “Epic 40.000”. It was the German WD #21 and I think that was September of 1997. The rest is history 😉
