Rcd. a telephone call from Jim Dunnigan & Phil Orbanes.
Jim told me he was taking over <u>STRATEGY & TACTICS</u> since
no one else would do it.
Arranged with Phil for him and his wife to come for
supper tomorrow night.
Jim called again in the evening and we discussed his ideas
for S.&T. He will drop the subtitle "A Journal of American
War Gaming" and will try to move it into the more general
field of adult games, but slowly. He will include questionaires
with the issues to get a "feedback". He will be able to
put out an issue for about $400 while it cost Chris about
$1100. He doesn't think he will have any trouble raising
the money for the next two issues, which are overdue. I
said I could contribute some but he doubts if it will be
necessary. I'll give Phil my column to deliver to Jim when
Phil comes tomorrow. Phil will also be involved in S.&T.
Arthur called to ask when I got my copy of <u>''PACE''</u> mag-
azine. Told him about a week ago, the August edition. He
is interested in the Sept. issue when he is supposed to
appear (with Wald) and his new game <u>POWER</u>. I told
him about <u>HYPER-SPACE</u> and the use of terrain
squares. He is not concerned since they have elimin-
ated them from <u>POWER</u> - although the Pace article, if
it is printed will still have them.
I suggested setting up a NYGA meeting at Michelle's.
He said he doesn't want to go there any more.
I asked him whether in <u>ALCHEMY</u> a player could jump
over his own cards onto an opponent's card that wasn't in the proper
relationship of rank, etc. He said no, the relationship has to
be right. I suggested that it might be a good idea to allow it
[crossed out] and he thought it might be. He'll think about
it.
Ed Raskin called. I told him that I hadn't had the chance
to try <u>SUBWAY</u> yet. He was complaining about Felicia and I was
defending her. Told him I'd try his game over the weekend and
call him.
Put in the diagrams on the carbon I still have of my
column on <u>TROMINO GO</u>. The original is still with the people
in Chicago.
A game fan (Paul R. McClenon) of Washington, D.C. who bought
a FOCUS booklet in 1963 asked about my book and if I don't
have a book do I have any additional pamphlets on games.
Sent a dollar to show his "interest."
