I would like to nominate the late Security Minister Critter. Hank was a really pleasant guy and always had something positive to say, a trait that is sometimes lacking round these parts. |

Texas Jack – Sholo/Hank passed away about 7 years ago, IIRC. PK – Who's Dean West? I hadn't consider Stan Lee, but if people think he should be included, I'm game. Good catch on Greg Stafford, Vdal! Wyatt |

I'll ask my son to sent word when the time comes, but I hope you're not in a hurry. |

Though sadly I only gamed with him a few times, I respectfully nominate Mark Stevens, AKA: Doc Ord -- an incredibly friendly and generous gentleman gamer, a great figure painter, and a pillar of the colonial wargaming community… TMP link |

I´m sorry Wyatt, I seemed to have missed the "this year" criterion. Been having an issue with conflicting meds lately that seem to manifest itself in reading comprehension of all things. My apologies! |
Wyatt the Odd | 27 Dec 2018 5:23 p.m. PST |
It's all good Texas Jack. No, Robert, please feel free to take your time – and then some. Thanks Mad Guru and Fusilier Dan Wyatt |

Mad Guru – I found Dr. Mark's obit. Do you know anyone who might have a picture? Wyatt |
Bismarck | 28 Dec 2018 10:45 a.m. PST |
Dr. Mark definitely needs to be on the list |
Mad Guru | 29 Dec 2018 12:55 a.m. PST |
Wyatt, I have at least one pic of Mark at a gaming table, and can ask around for others/potentially better pics. I'll PM you tomorrow with more info. |

A little late to the conversation but in answer to two previous posts: Dean West was primarily an ACW and SYW wargamer. He was a developer with John Hill for Johnny Reb 1. Johnny Reb 3, and Across a Deadly Field. He wrote a rule set Final Argument of Kings adapting JR to the SYW. He is sorely missed by many ACW and SYW players. |
