Posted by Civil War gamer Rob Prince on the Johnny Reb Gaming Society's Facebook page… "Just wanted to let everyone know that Stephen Huckaby, author of the ACW Ezine, was involved in a serious accident this evening. He is in the ICU at this time. From what I gathered, he is stable but is in critical condition. The driver of the vehicle lost control and went across the median. The driver was killed while Stephen suffered severe injuries. The 2 passengers in the back seat were also injured but I have not heard to what extent. Thoughts and prayers go out the to everyone involved." When I decided to shut down the JRGS's Charge! newsletter after the 10 years that Debi and I produced it, my old gaming friend from my days in NE Ohio Stephen picked up the mantle and began producing his own ezine, for which I have written several articles. Stephen and I were discussing some mutual projects recently. I can only hope he recovers fully. Scott |

That's horrible. I just did an article for his new E-zine concerning the early American Wars. My prayers will be with him. |

Our thoughts are with both him and his family, I've never met him and only had contact with him through e-mail but I do wish him all the best. |

My thoughts are with him. We had just started to correspond about various things, including the Late Roman period, and I was considering writing up my First Bull Run scenario for the e-zine. Best wishes for a speedy recovery! |

Good news! Stephen was down graded from ICU to a regular Trauma Recovery Unit and is much improved! It looks like he'll be able to post his own updates soon! Cory R. |

That is good news indeed! Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. |

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and well wishes; they meant the world to me. I think occasionally, as with John Hill's passing, we are reminded that wargaming is as much about the friends and gamers as it is about the miniatures, rules or terrain. I am back at home now after a week in the hospital. Being out of the hospital is unfortunately not the same as being healed. I am working on getting stronger and I hope to get back to producing magazines for you all soon. Cold Wars is not currently possible due to my injuries but I hope to see you around the table in the near future. |
cwbuff | 28 Feb 2015 5:17 a.m. PST |
Glad you are home. Good healing just being home. Hope your health will be good by NASHCON. |
GoodOldRebel | 28 Feb 2015 6:37 a.m. PST |

Hi Stephen, 28 February 2015 Great to hear you are home! Home is the best place to be for a full recovery!! I was looking forward to meeting you at Cold Wars but perhaps you will attend Historicon and I can meet you then. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Lowell D. Hamilton |
Charlie 12 | 28 Feb 2015 2:18 p.m. PST |
Great news! Here's hoping for a speedy and complete recovery. Take it slow and easy, rushing the recovery is the LAST thing you want to do (ask me how I know THAT…). |
uglyfatbloke | 01 Mar 2015 5:00 a.m. PST |
Good to hear you're doing well Stephen; hope you have a speedy recovery. |
ACWBill | 01 Mar 2015 5:04 a.m. PST |
Huzzah Stephen, so happy to hear you are back home and on the road to recovery. Sorry to miss seeing you at CW but perhaps at Nashcon instead, |
Baranovich | 01 Mar 2015 8:26 a.m. PST |
Wish him all the best in a speed recovery. |

Yes I just found out from Stephen, horrible news. My hearts go out to Stephen, his family and the family of his friend that perished in the crash. Sad to hear. |

Sorry for my tardiness. Prayers to all that were touched by this tragedy. Best wishes. |
