THURSDAY 6 FEBRUARY
1969 37th day - 328 days to come
Read SECURITY and background material on the MONE
THE MONEY GAME on subway.
Drew up a diagram on tracing paper and pasted it
on a sheet of heavier paper. Used a ruling pen on
the entire thing and it took a long time. I men-
tioned that some of the rough sketches looked better
and BB said she definitely thought so. Decided that
I would ask Fabio what he thought about my drawing
the straight lines (such as a board) in pencil
then going over everything in ink without using a
straightedge. This would, of course, save me a lot of
time.
Called Jim Dunnagan [Dunnigan]. Told him that I found that Parker
Bros. had registered the name FORTUNE (see 2/4) as
a children's game. Jim will transmit to Phil.
He picked up the game SECURITY when he lectured last
year at a midwest college. The inventor was connected
with the college.
Discussed ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR I with Jim. He said I
can make any changes I would like. Also I should
suggest that the readers experiment with changes of
their own, as he does with the classroom users.
Avalon-Hill will be distributing STRATEGY & TACTICS so he thinks
the circulation will go from about 1,500 to the neigh-
borhood of 5,000, which will give Chris and him a good
income. And also allow them to pay a little more for articles.
He & Chris will get together with me sometime in April to
discuss my column.
Avalon-Hill has signed a contract with Chris' company -
Operation Project Analysis Corp. (PAC) to do the next
three war games (1970, 1, 2), Jim will do them indirectly
since he has an exclusive contract with Renwal.
This year A-H is putting out ANZIO tho Jim doesn't think
it is too good a job (even tho he recommended the man
who did it). He thinks the art work is very bad. In the
games he does he controls the art work, and is repaid
for expenses.
There is a new man in charge of marketing at A-H and
Jim thinks I'll get more info from him than I would
of from Tom Shaw.
Rcd. a letter from Haar Hoolim. He is happy with my
introduction to him in the book.
