Jim Dunnigan over. He brought me copies of <u>1914</u> and <u>BATTLE OF BRITAIN</u>. | |||
Jim is working together with Chris Wagner who is president <br> | |||
of project Analysis Corp. (P.A.C.). He is the publisher of <br> | |||
<u>STRATEGY & TACTICS</u> which has articles on war games. Jim <br> | |||
will get me a free subscription. He thinks I might be able <br> | |||
to write an article about my games and have it published <br> | |||
in the magazine. | |||
P.A.C. is going to put out a "Simulation Series" of war <br> | |||
games. They will sell, mainly mail order, for $4. The first <br> | |||
one, due in November, will be <u>TANNENBERG</u> done by Jim. <br> | |||
It is an eastern front equivelent of <u>1914</u> but A-H gave permission <br> | |||
to use it. Another game which he has had success with <br> | |||
which will probably be in the series is <u>TACTICAL ARMOR GAME-RUSSIAN FRONT</u>. <br> | |||
For A-H Jim has done <u>WALL STREET</u>, which is being playtested <br> | |||
by them. At first they wanted an historically based <br> | |||
game but now have changed it to an abstract game, Jim <br> | |||
wanted to do another war game for them but they are having <br> | |||
someone else do next year's (even the <u>JUTLAND</u> and <br> | |||
particularly 1914. have done very well). | |||
For Gamescience (Renwal) Jim is working on <u>SINAI-1967</u> <br> | |||
based on Israel war. Also an “Astrology" <u>GAME</u>. He has also <br> | |||
done a <u>CHESS</u> variation called <u>POLICHESS</u> played on a | |||
