I'm not sure what that means but the responses we did get are discussed below. Thank you to all who did respond. 90% said The Reviewing Stand was just right in length, the rest wanted more. 55% wanted more scenarios, 45% wanted more Battle Reports 99% would eliminate none of our Departments or Columns if they could, 1% would eliminate Down at The Wargame Club. We have just about finished with it any way. The 5 favorite periods are (in order of votes recieved): Napoleonic/ACW/Ancient (these three garnered more votes than all the others put together) Colonial/WWII (Land & Sea)/Medieval/Seven Years War/AMR/18th Century Skirmish/WWI (Land & Sea)/ All Naval/& some 10 other periods with very few votes. A little gamed period to find out more about? This question had about as many seperate non-duplicated replies as respondents, The highest number of votes being 22 for WWII and WWI Naval. Then South American Wars of Independance, French Colonial, Sino-Japanese War, Korea and FrancoPrussian War had 8 - 10 votes each. Then dozens of entries with 1 or 2 votes ea. There does seem to be a small interest in WWII or WWI Naval - since that is one of my favorite gaming areas, I will try to provide a few good articles a year. We will try to do more with colonial period too. French and some of the more modern colonial conflicts. In general, gamers are in a bit of a rut and must learn to expand their horizons somewhat. There is a lot of fun to be had in other periods besides the first three named above. In our club old Colony Wargamers, we seldom game the same period in a 12 week gaming cycle. Though every game is historical and we have a ball!
