After work went down to Joe's Book Mart on Park Row.
Bought <u>''WAR GAMES''</u> & <u>''NAVAL WAR GAMES''</u>($10 plus tax).
Didn't have the other two book by Featherstone but will be get-
ting them. I'll call in a few weeks and check.
Thinking about <u>TAKE IT AWAY</u>. Use 10 blue chips, worth 3 points
each; 20 red chips, worth 2 points each; and 34 white chips, worth
1 point each. They are placed on a checkerboard at random. The
first player chooses a white chip and removes it. Then in turn players
take off chips by short jumps or multiple short jumps, diagonally
permitted. Whenever a player wishes, instead of taking his turn he
can say "Take it away". The other player then continues playing as
long as he can. Any pieces left on the board count 2 x (or 3x, or
4 x if agreed before) their regular value against the player who
took it away.
Called Claude to tell him I had <u>LOA</u>. Also told him about the
latest development on <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>. He wants to help
on it. Told him that as soon as I get a chance to make up the
equipment we'd get together and try it out.
