How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on ( mrjamespollard@aol.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.

I love the Avalanche Press series, although I can't keep up with them (Parachutes Over Crete being the most recent example). I'm also regrettably abandoning Europa; not enough FTF players here where I live (and it's a very active wargaming community) for what is basically a "dead" series. Am auctioning off all my Europa games and magazines at Prezcon. It's an emotionally traumatic event given how much I loved the early GDW titles. Love La Bataille, the Admiralty trilogy games, and more.

It was a great townhome location but it was on Indian land, so the lease fees were just way too much so we sold the property. A shame because it would be a spot I would have loved to have visited again with my family here in Dallas to have vacations and also attend the pro tennis tournament that takes place each year around February.
