"I guess I see CITYFIGHT as a breakthrough that went no where, but could have gone anywhere. I frequently wonder if SPI had survived, had Dunnigan stayed with them, had they entered the then-being-born computer era, would CITYFIGHT have been used as…"
"So glad this thread brought Joe to the table! I was trying to decide how best to quote him on the importance of the original KURSK system, and the influence it wielded as the design points washed across a decade (or more) or later designs! I had…"

Sorry I just saw this. I hardly ever check CSW. I am going through a bit of a life transition as I am going to I retire soon, so that is my primary focus. I will get the itch to play again after I secure a follow on job.

- Thanks for the invite. Metro Wargamers in Brooklyn used to have TSS set up in their club. I recently heard someone tell me that Ed (big ACW gamer) had pasted away. Did you know any of those members? It would be nice to get a monster GMT ACW game going monthly. What does the summer look like for you? Dead of Winter possibly?
