Back at the Keyboard Again

Editorial

by Dave Nilsen and Greg Novak

May I have your attention, please. This is Dave Nilsen, temporarily hijacking this editorial. You will note that this issue ran a little late, and if you need to blame someone, blame me. The delay is due to the monumental task of assembling the most up-to-date possible data for this issue's supplement: "The 1991 Persian Gulf War." It was my goal to take advantage of the three years since the end of the war to make this the most comprehensive Gulf War OB available to date. I believe that it is the best one-stop compilation of this data in the world (with the caveat that a document of this size will always have some glitches, and given difficulties in tracking Arab and Iraqi forces, some of this data may never be perfectly known). Unfortunately, this took a little time, and for that, you have my apologies. The resulting document was also so long that we had to cut sections S-2 and S-3 from this issue, and even in so doing, we were unable to fit it all in; it will be completed in CPQ 5. The good news is that CPQ 5 will follow this issue very rapidly, allowing you to quickly complete your Gulf War OB, and us to get back on schedule.

I hope you will be pleased with the results.

I now return control of this editorial to Greg Novak, who will explain the future plans for CPQ.

This issue has the 1991 Persian Gulf War, our revised look at the armies of the Gulf War. However, there is not the planned CDII Errata section, as that is being put into CPQ 5, along with the CDII troop lists. Supplements are a nice way of presenting information, but they use up space which in turn results in other articles being put on hold. I have some very interesting articles that I have been sitting on for far too long. Therefore, the CDII errata goes into the next issue.
