Every year, I teach a military history class to high school seniors. Since our school has a historical connection with the Battle of Germantown, we fight it out on the tabletop each year. For most of the students, it is their first brush with gaming. Needless to say, it is always a hit! link

Dr. Mark, Great to see that your program to teach history through alternative mediums is still active. I hope the students and administration actively appreciate your commitment to education. Keep up the great work. Wingnut

Better still, I should declare a field trip to Cold Wars. Then I could get paid to go…!

"Better still, I should declare a field trip to Cold Wars. Then I could get paid to go…!" Dr. Mark, if any get out of line, you can put them in "detention" with some of your TMP friends. That'll teach 'em to behave!

Cap'n, I'm trying to AVOID abuse charges… :) Alfred, the part of the Chew House was played by a Bachman N scale clipboard farmhouse. Maybe someday I'll scratch build a scale model. (I just learned last month that Justice Chew any his grandchildren to our school, in response to the query "Were any Academy parents slave owners?" The Chews were the only ones I could come up with)
