Metawargaming Pamphlets

Submission Request

by Major Bill

This is a submissions request to HMGS Mid-South members from the author and editor of the Metawargame pamphlets, I-II. Metawargame III is projected for completion in late 2003 or sometime in 2004. If you would like to submit an article, please keep it at 3000 words or less, and all submissions should be on an IBM-formatted diskette. The attitude for your presentations should be a vibrant willingness for propagation and continuation of our hobby, restructuralization, reformalization, and recognizing beneficial and malign structures.

The following are some theme formats for your submissions:

1. Biography 2. After-Action Report 3. Historical 4. Technical (design expedience, strategy fundamentals or recommendations, engineering criteria, and recreational innovation) 5. Review or Critique

Submissions by e-mail are possible, but only texts are allowed. Please use standard graphic representations in your illustrations. No color for texts; but illustrations and pictures can be in full color. Use a common sans serif or serif font (Arial, Roman), keeping font size at 12 points. Use a simple heading (title) for your manuscript, and submissions can use subheadings centered on the column or page, but all in bold. Always add captions to your illustrations. And don't use footnotes in your presentation, but instead use endnotes at the end of your manuscript with a subheading of "Notes" if you desire. Use a maximum of 2 columns only. If trademarks and copyrighted materials are used, you must denote all trademarks in your manuscript and have permission to use copyrighted materials. For critique materials, there's no need to have copyright permissions.

Please send your submissions to my present e-mail address or a copy of your file to my present geographical address, both of which you may attain from the Editor of the HMGS Dispatch. All submissions on diskette must be password protected, and a contact number or address left by the submitter so that the Editor of Metawargame III can open, proofread, and copyedit your manuscript(s).

Presently, Metawargame productions are nonprofit and voluntary. Free copies of the productions will be sent to contributing authors. But the creator and editor of all Metawargame pamphlets, however, intends to start an entity to support propagating and organizing the productions, mostly likely near the end of 2003. After this, there may be remunerations for authorial efforts.
