It's a commonly held view that the world needs more Gettysburg games, g. 

Name me a *good* Gettysburg game.

Avalon Hill's "Gettysburg", 1964 edition.  That's right, the one with the squares.  REPLAY VALUE FOR 12 YEAR OLDS: HIGH

You know I'm trafficking in the truth, 11B.  You were up to your ass in those squares, too.

Oh god, I remember Terrible Swift Sword (still have it someplace).  Mike and I would go and play that for ever, had it set up in the basement of my Dad's place.  Four maps of greatness, if I remember correctly.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Bought Histogame's Maria. Looks nifty, especially the map  :wub:

It's a brilliant game, probably my favorite.  Enjoy.

QuotePaul,

Thank You for responding with some ideas.  The only one I have at the moment is for the 3 battles of Alamein.  I know there are some good ones out there that might be better gamed and would be unique.  I will add these to my list of material.  Some of these will work well with the fluid situations that existed.  It's nice to know someone reads the Designer Notes.  The ones for the updated DRK are quite extensive.

Thank You also for the order.  You have the unique honor of being the first person to receive the new and improved Air Enhancement.  Please let me know what you think of it.  It should add a completely new level of play into the game.  It was greatly expanded just a couple months ago.  The rules were redone and cleaned up considerably.  I reformatted them and added some new charts.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask.  I make myself very available for customers.  As you can see I am at my computer working on a Sunday night.  I have been hammering away at the rules edits and counter sheet reviews for Totenkopf.

Respectfully,

Chris Fasulo Sr

I also have rough drafts for smaller Deathride Kursk scenarios. Just need to play test.

Strange comment about he made about designers notes. Do people not read the designers notes anymore.

After the Squence of Play review, I read designers notes second, then a front to back rules read.

Always done that.
