"One trick you can use with a German Panzer Division or a Soviet Mech Corps is to create a combined arms group (tank bn + mech/tracked infantry. If eligible hip shoot the target so you can lower its AR and insure a higher odds combat. Unless its…"

"At first I thought of the map as being cluttered and difficult to look at. LOS did not seem correct either. After reading through the rules 3 or 4 times in a week and restarting NBH 2 or 3 times I find I like the flow of the game. I think the…"

Profile Information

Your introduction to consim gaming:: I came to the hobby in 1976 while in Graduate School at the University of Illinois. My first game was GDW's Waterloo game. This was followed by John Hill's "Kasserine Pass". From there I was hooked. I acquired my first game while reading John Keagan's "Face of Battle" because I was not satisfied with the maps in the book.

After a career in Information Technology, (Data Processing when I got in), I retired and became a Librarian.

I am married to Bea and we have five grandchildren. We are both Roman Catholics. We attend St Patrick's Church in Columbus, Ohio, where we have come to love Dominican Spirituality reverence for the Sacraments.

My apologies to the good Jesuit Fathers.

Your favorite game(s):: For me, systems;
1. OCS (MMP)
2. Great Battles of History (GMT)

6. Napoleon at Bay (OSG)
7. La Bataille (Clash of Arms)
8. SCS (MMP)
9. Wacht Am Rhein / Korsun Pocket (SPI, DG & PWG)
10. Great Battles of the American Civil War (SPI & GMT)

And I am totally enthused about "Case Blue". What a Great Game !! Citino goes very well with it (except for sending me on side-trips to North Africa). And I have also run into the 'void' of the Caucasus Campaign -as far as detailed historical accounts go. I do have Gen. A.A. Grechko 's "Bitva za Kavkaz" on order (Copyrighted 1967) which is supposed to be pretty good, lite on the usual Triumph of Socialism Propaganda and heavy on actual facts. Grechko was Army Commander for 21st and 64th armies.

I'm putting together a bunch of second hand stuff, like Liddell- Hart, but it is really a neglected theatre. I am also looking for some of the German memoirs that cover it.

I MUST play OCS "Case Blue" with All the maps set up. I simply cant do it justice with the space available to me.
