Blood on the Shores

Ed Mohrmann	23 Dec 2017 10:50 a.m. PST
Bob Eldridge, a long-time member of our gaming group in North Carolina and one of the leading lights in the Naval gaming fraternity passed away on Tuesday, December 19th. Bob was a contributor to Seekrieg, designed his own scenarios and over the past couple of years was working on 'what if' types of scenarios for the Pacific inter-war years, especially the Central Pacific. In addition to his presence in Naval gaming, Bob was one of the team leads locally in developing rules for the AWI, MAW and the ACW. Bob was one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met on WWII Pacific Naval matters and on other aspects of US Military/Naval history.

Sad news indeed. Bob's passing is a great loss to the naval wargaming community. He will be sorely missed. B

Bob was also the person responsible for several of the recent items published by Admiralty Trilogy on (IIRC) the Span-Am War and Bywater-based fictional USN/IJN Pacific fleet actions. B
