[QUOTE="rjdafoe, post: 5078544, member: 54591"] I can't point to a specific instance, but I can assure you this was the case. Before the internet, there were BBSs and I can say for certain, that army builder was used frequently when building armies for miniature games through FidoNet messages, WWIV network messages and any number of other BBS networks that were in use back then. I am sure somebody, somewhere has some archive of these messages. I assure you - I am not imagining this. I PARTICIPATED in this in the mid 1980s into the early 1990s at conventions, BBS messages, and face to face converations. EDIT: While I do not care wether you have a trademark for army builder or not, you must know that what you wrote above is wrong, if you where ever into miniature games before. I don't know if there was specifically software called that, but it was certainly in the description of alot of things that helped you to create armies. [/QUOTE]
