Hi Larry,
Thanks! As a clarification though, I have to say that I'm not a Marine. It's a compliment to be confused with them, but I can't claim membership.

Hi Larry. Yes, I'm very familiar with Nash's book--you'll see my comments on it to Daniel Red Cloud Brown elsewhere on this website as we talk about the republication of Jack Radey's KORSUN POCKET, my all time favorite monster game. Hope you find stuff you like here!

Welcome aboard! Yup, I was one of the ASL playtesters and have also been playing, although it seems I spend more time teaching new players than mastering the intricacies of the Desert and PTO rules! Oh, I am hoping for that CH reprint of TokTong Pass since I missed it the first time it was out. Being a Marine, it's a big deal to me. Plus, I got some of the Korean maps of the area to Lee Forester for his TCS game, SEMPER FI. Since you've been embroiled in VOTG, have you seen the maps Dave Glantz put in his second volume of his Stalingrad trilogy, ARMAGEDDON AT STALINGRAD? Awesome, awesome stuff....

I picked up an updated edition of P. W. Singer's 'Corporate Warriors' at Kinokuniya last night. Hopefully, this doesn't have that silly, flippant tone of 'Wired for War' which was attempting a cross-over mainstream appeal for increased sales. There…
1100 sees the Union capture the initiative with Buford's division getting the first move. We see troopers make some minor moves to better man their breastwork defenses but no agressive action. A staggered line of breastworks dot the east side of Her…
I thought the only possible mitigation could come from severe mental illness, or perhaps a cerebral parasite that's eating away at the tastefulness center of the brain.
I suppose the bad taste of it can be ameliorated by assuming they're for Halloween. Such assumptions are occasionally required to tolerate ones own species.
