I think there is probably a correlation between AH-based gamers and alternate history membership. Just curious is all, please share your gaming experience/ choices.
Just some suggestions:
What AH-games do you own? And what genre(s) of AH games do you prefer?
What defines AH games for you? Why?
How much of your gaming (if not all) is spent on AH-themed games?
Are you a serious gamer, casual gamer , or a casually serious gamer?
I think its only fair that I share my AH gaming experience first.
I don't count games based in the future as AH games, although I don't mind AH games that start from the past to the future. I also don't really include games that either doesn't serious stick to history or stick to alternate history (ex: all the endless shooting games out there just using WWII or some rogue state as an excuse to start shooting things).
I own (listed in my perception of most to least AHness):
I spent somewhere around a total 5% of my lifespan so far in gaming, lately university has forced me to stop. When I gamed I was quite the serious power-gamer, losing wasn't an option and every little advantage counted. Around half my time was spent on AH games, the other half mostly shooters , RPGs, and other non-AH strategy games.
I power game excessively, plus I'm a completionist both of which tends to lean towards RPG-strategy games where both needs can be satisfied the most . In most games I just can't stand leaving anything unexplored, what if there's another potion/resource there I ask myself? Go find out!

I own (listed in my perception of most to least AHness):
- Europa Universalis III, plus all expansions up to Heir to the Throne (Spend 1/3 of my time just appreciating the information of the various map modes)
- Victoria 2 (so many statistics!)
- Hearts of Iron 3 plus Semper (If they only had a Discovery channel commenter and big red arrows on the map)
- Rome Total War plus expansions
- Total War series (Everything after Rome Total War is a step back)
- Red Alert 1-3 (2 considered the favorite, 3's neither serious, balanced, or cheesy)
- Civilization 1-5 (3 considered the favorite, 4 and 5 are a bit too mainstream for me)
- Various Minigames and flash games that I cannot remember
- World in Conflict
- Codename: Panzers, Phase One
- Battlestation Midway
- Defcon
- Mount and Blade Warband (something primeval about riding a horse...)
- Probably forgot a few...
