Thought of a new idea for <u>AIR BATTLE</u>. There are 4 airstrips
Thought of a new idea for <u>AIR BATTLE</u>. There are 4 airstrips <br>
and 4 factories, each series the same lengths : - 2 long (1 plane),  <br>
3 long (2 planes), 4 long (2 planes), 5 long (3 planes). A player  <br>
starts with 8 planes. As a factor gets reduced the number of  <br>
planes is reduced to either the lower amount or two less  <br>
than the higher, whichever is greater. Win by wiping out  <br>
one factor.  <br>
As an advanced variant include guns. If one or more planes  <br>
are shot down in a turn, the player's planes are reduced by  <br>
the amount on the next turn.  <br>
Thinking of pencil & paper version of <u>SHORT AIRLINE</u>. Use  <br>
30 numbered with the combinations of two dice, not  <br>
including doubles.

<u>Bob Hallowell</u> has offered <u>Phil</u> a job with him which Phil  <br>
turned down. Phil thinks that Hallowell needs someone with  <br>
more manufacturing knowhow to run his operation.  <br>
Phil still hasn't rcd. the check for <u>NINE OF SWORDS</u> royalty.  <br>
I had to leave before checking on <u>HABITAT</u>, <u>HONORABLE RELATIONS</u>,  <br>
and <u>FREE FORM</u>. Phil will call me tomorrow.
 
To <u>Felicia</u>'s. <u>Ruth Shaler</u> there with two bottles of champagne. BB  <br>
there a little later with box of cookies. <u>Bob Gellman</u> had  <br>
been there earlier and dropped off <u>A CENTURY OF GREAT FIGHTS </u>  <br>
for me. He had a business appointment and couldn't stay.  <br>
Gave Felicia the rules for <u>AVARICE</u> and <u>TRIAD</u> I had borrowed  <br>
(see '71).  <br>
Felicia gave me the material on Capital Gains from <u>Chuck Titus</u>  <br>
(Filed in [illegible crossed out] I.S. folder).  <br>
M.B. is quite interested in <u>PSYCHE-PATHS</u>.  <br>
Felicia gave me an article from ''<u>THE MEDIA GENERAL FINANCIAL DAILY</u>  <br>
(Sept. 25, 1971) which mentioned <u>Dr. Frederic Flach</u>. Among  <br>
other things, it quoted <u>Keith Tuggle</u> as saying that 3M's  <br>
games hold up well, even in economic downturns. (Filed in  <br>
I.S. Folder.)  <br>
<u>Dr. Flach</u>'s <u>ENVIRONMENT</u> has been taken by Dynamic Design.  <br>
I said that it helped to have a big name, but Felicia said  <br>
that Dynamic took it without knowing who did it. Also, Flach  <br>
doesn't want his name on it.  <br>
