Does anyone remember the series of campaign accounts about the "Albertine Wars" that appeared in Wargamer's Digest back in the 70's. They were accounts of a ficticious Napoleonic campaign between the Commonwealth of Ruritania and the Kingdom of Graustark. Samuel T. Gill was the author – he used to have lots of articles in Wargamer's Digest – and I assume his club ran the games. I have the first two accounts but there may or may not be a third. At the end of the second article it said "Next time the war moves to the Dromondy Theatre", so something similar. Every time I go to a convention i thumb through whatever copies of WD I can find to try an locate this other article.
I am begininng to suspect that it was never published. Does anyone remember? |

UGH, AltF…I wrote them years ago and I'm pretty sure that 3rd article was never published. Of course, the guy who follows me with his post will send you a .pdf copy…of course!  |

So you wrote all the "Samuel T. Gill" articles? Does the third article still exist in any form? |

No, sorry, I wrote TO them (the publisher)… |

So does anyone know who Samuel T. Gill is (or was?) For the longest time I thought it might be Wally Simon using a pen name! |

I loved those and the Ostland Vestland campaigns |

Yes, I have those as well. There was also a quick and dirty set of ACW rules…"Top Sergeant" or something like that. Complete rules in two pages! |

There is a Wargamer's Digest group on Yahoo. I just sold all my old copies to somebody there. They might be able to guide you. Rob. |
