In any case, as a WW2 veteran all of us who have enjoyed peace and freedom have a debt to his generation that served.<br /><br />Being inspired myself to dip back into his 'Battle Notes for Wargamers' its actually interesting how many of his ideas and innovations have come full circle!

I still have it and it will always be a favorite of mine. The rules were simple and assumed gentlemanly players.
