That sounds much like the game planned by some students at Stanford, the Ad Hoc Committee for the Re-Instuttion of WW II. It was multi-player with participants all over the USA and elsewhere too, but it broke down because of work load--no personal computers around to assist back in the 1960s. I was the Chinese Communists, BTW, while Don Kay had the Nationalists. and out Economic Commander was in Milwaukee. Later on the boardgame Drang Nacht Osten had the Russian Front in battalion scale IIRR. One of my old wargaming chums was caught up in the play of that monsterhaakon1 said:Don't check out computer war gaming . . . you could seriously spend about 5 years playing "War in the Pacific". I played about 1 day of it (December 8, 1941) and decided I should wait for more when I'm retired. A game with ever aircraft and ship in the Pacific Theatre, even Merchant Ships . . . that's too cool to play! Someday, I'll figure out where George H.W. Bush is -- I guess he was still in Yale on that day, but presumably he shows up in the replacements eventually, along with John F. Kennedy. The generals and admirals are all real names. You can fire Nimitz and put Halsey in charge, if you want.
Actually, I can blather on in print, and others can lift the banalities and use them as quoteshaakon1 said:You can always make up more quotes though.

Any composers/ artists that are particular favourites? Do you ever get a chance to listen to any contemporary composers, and if so do any of them appeal at all? One of my favourites is Phillip Glass ( Liquid Days/ Soundtrack for Candyman/ Glassworks). Now, I believe you do or did enjoy cigars (being somewhat of a connoisseur, IIRC from a much earlier post discussing wine etc) and as I'm not particularily well informed in this area, I was wondering if you might be so kind as to perhaps suggest/recommend some cigars. Your enlightenment would be much appreciated! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my queries. Cheers!
I tend to most enjoy the works of composers from the time of Mozart an through Saint Saens and Deliebs. Some of the scores for films are interesting, although unless prompted I can not name the one or two composers that I most enjoy.John Drake said:Nice stuff! Thank you so much for the response!
Sadly, I do not have a source for Cuban cigars, so I am quite ignorant in regards which brands are especially outstanding. Screenwriter James Goldman was a frined of mione and most knowledgeable in this area, but Jim passed away some years back, so I can not tap his expertise.One other question, if I may be so bold: a friend of mine is going down to Cuba, and he said he could bring back some cigars for me, which, of course, I would like very much!
Now spill the beans so that no one has to search the old zine copies to find out. Does the asterisk mean the devil was a jumper-up Pit Field?Tarek said:
