WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK - 100TH DAY - 265 DAYS TO COME

Bob Champer here with the historical material for MACARTHUR. Later I rewrote some of it. He went over my rules and picked up a few small points.
Bob brought, and gave me, PANZERFAUST #60 which has a very complimentary review of PATTON. Also an ad for the game (which I found out later was not paid for by R.G.I.) for sale by Lowry Enterprises. And a special offer of the game for $6.50.
Contained article on CHANCELLORSVILLE and the original GETTYSBURG. A variation of CHANCELLORSVILLE. Some clarifications of A.H.'s [Avalon Hill] WATERLOO. Review of KASSERINE PASS (Conflict Games). Review of NORAD (Simulations Design Corp.). Review of Br Article on BATTLE OF THE BULGE. Article on LUFTWAFFE. Article on DIPLOMACY. Ads for SEVEN DAYS BATTLE (Battleline Publications); DRANG NACH OSTEN!; UNENTSCHIEDEN!, and MARITA MERKUR (Game Designers' Workshop); AFRIKA KORPS revisions (Lightning Hobbies); GRUNDSTEIT Mag. [magazine] - with a "Revolutionary Systems of Simultaneous Movement"; THE INVASION OF SICILY; THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN; EAGLES; and CHACO (Game Designers' Workshop). Bob gave me an address to send his advance check - when I get it and I'll try to get it soon.

Bob brought along a was reading a book on "Hang Gliding." Took the info on it to send to Jerry D'Arcey.

Rcd. [received] a sample copy of EL CONQUISTADOR. Contained article on THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN. List on games they sell by mail: DIPLOMACY, INSIGHT, CONVENTION (Games Research); many A.H. [Avalon Hill]; BATTLE OF BRITAIN, ALIEN SPACE (Zocchi); OVERLORD, VERDUN, KASSERINE PASS, BROTHERHOOD (Conflict Games); DUNKIRK 1940 (Simulation Design); BATAAN (Balboa Games); 5 by Parker.
Rcd. [received] a mailing from A.H. [Avalon Hill]. The new ones are 1776 and a revision of TACTICS-II.

Call from Earl Perel. He told me a little about his real estate GAME that he started working on for HASBRO. There is a "master plan" that sets the value of different types of development. But this can be altered at periodic "meetings" of the players. Mitch Reid liked the idea.
Call from Howie Barasch of S.P.I. He asked about my column and I said that Redmund had said that 4/22 was o.k. They wouldn't mind having it sooner, but 4/22 is o.k.
In looking to trademark AMERICAN REVOLUTION they ran across a game REVOLUCION and he asked if I had any info on it. I asked if he had the manufacturer and he called me back later to say it was published by "Loebstone & Blue, Fargo, N.D." - in 1970. The inventor is David L. Knudson (spelling?). Told Howie I'd check, but I wasn't able to find anything.
He said that he had a letter that someone was sending me a game.
