- About Me
- 14 years in the military (split active/nat'l guard); 21 years as Army brat; work for a defense contractor doing software design and some training management; write for Wargamer.com and a few others; love games with buckets of dice, and tho I can't stand the game, I have a fondness for the collectible D&D minis; I love finding neat games from small unknown publishers

- Favorite Movies: Ronin; Ocean's 11 (2001); Farewell to the King; Hi-Fidelity; Singles
Favorite TV Shows: Big Bang Theory; How I Met Your Mother; That 70s Show (been catching up on DVDs); seriously wishing there was a way to revive Studio 60
Favorite Sports: Soccer (USMNT, Newcastle United, Columbus Crew); College Football (NC State, South Carolina, LSU); Baseball (Astros); NHL (Hurricanes)
I dig hiking and biking outside with my son, and flat-water kayaking when the weather's nice. I like traveling and checking out historical locations (Stirling, Scotland is a great under-rated historical destination). My wife is a fantastic photographer, so we usually get postcard-quality pictures out of our trips, too.

Just to let everyone know, the first Course of Action Analysis is up and we'd love to hear your feedback :)

Thanks guys - come back often and help start some of the conversations.
I'm interested in what people come up with for their COA analyses....
I have never seen it before either. Really well done, you have done an excellent job.
First time visitor to that Blog - Well done, sir!
Hey everyone - we're rolling out some new features at GrogNews that might interest y'all.
First, we've got a weekly Q&A series running with different folks from the wargame industry. So far, we've had Jim Werbaneth, Alan Emrich, John Tiller, and Le…
Great idea, Jon.
Creepy stuff.
Got two more missives from him this morning. I've set up an auto-responder that simply deletes his emails after forwarding them to his local authorities. I think his unsolicited profanity ridden diatribes sent via email rise to the level of harassme…
Place to link up and plan wargames in/around the Raleigh-Durham area. And we'll let folks from Chapel Hill come in every now and then.

For general location services based on IP - those will be in email headers - Yahoo posts them in their forums for users - and he has several of those.
Isn't there a sense of a loss in proportion here from that whoever?
But this is wargaming?!? Why is there hatemail and all that? And evil deeds? I mean it is simulated cardboard.
I think so too.
I've now been on the receiving end of half a dozen or so rather long winded emails from the man; all substantially profane, largely incoherent, and each nuttier than the last. However, I'm beginning to realize that, while we may joke about it, this…

Account incorrectly deleted
So apparently someone asked John to delete my account from CSW, and was pretending to be me to do it.
John's been able to re-instate much of my account, but I've lost a lot of photos / videos, including the ones from Origins that I'd uploaded here but were deleted from my phone after uploading.
I'm pretty sure we all know what happened here. I'm pretty sure we can all acknowledge it was unnecessarily childish. I'm now going back into hibernation until I'm done reloading/recharging, whichever is… Continue

Bravo, and very fitting.
For the majority of us that use Windows on our computers, the need to fix stuff will come up.Here is a nice troubleshooting checklist/guide;http://lifehacker.com/5628396/the-basic-guide-to-troubleshooting-common-windows-pc-problemsAnd the funny pic…
hmm, dont know if I get it right.
you could use a underlay with the marsh and overlays for the rest..
Maybe toy around with using all or some of the checkboxes when creating the overlay.
Or move/bend a level one ground hexside from K32-L31 over ther…

Very nice work, Dan. Thanks for sharing and as I've repeatedly said, I've enjoyed seeing your artistic talents mature so quickly.
Thanks
Now looking for Power House set....another two years?
Is Highway to the Riech an approachable game? How many scenarios available for one map? My table space can only accomodate that.
I think so, too, I have the "Handy Rotary", "Power House" and "Balloon Busting" modules. My group once played with 8 players, it was a blast
Is there a VASSAL module for this series of games ?
We have groups for different GMT titles.So why
not a group to discuss everything about the company
from games to C3I magazine
