Nice find. I remember that article well, especially the comment that all the players placed their personality figures in a certain town or building after Gilder told them that the structure could not be fired at. LOL.

Great memories !! I liked Peter a great deal and his son Chris also. The last time I saw Peter was at the Penn Harris. He,Dave Allsop and I enjoyed nice meal and an evening chatting about many thing --not just wargaming.

Fond memories of refighting Leipzig at Peter's Wargame Holiday Centre just outside Scarborough.

A most enjoyable read that evoked a lot of fond gaming memories.

You have to be a certain age to remember the outfits, the hairstyles and facial fungus in the B&W photo.

One thing I always do notice is just how skinny all of that age were, back then.

Nostalgia is not what it used to be, but this is great.
