DEDICATION

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Special thanks goes to Shelby Stanton, for his tremendous help with the German order of battle and his knowledge of Germany and the Balkans in World War II.

Special thanks also goes to A.E. Goodwin, who was the driving force behind the design and realization of the new-style maps.

The usual suspects -- and some new faces -- pitched in on the historical research. In particular, thanks to:

• Shelby Stanton, for the German ground OB.
• John Gee, for his great work with the Greek OB.
• Paul Dunigan, for all the air OBs.
• Roger Clewley, who appeared in the nick of time with crucial new information on the Yugoslav OB and with good advice on the Bulgarian OB.
• Michael Parker, who helped with various elements of the Yugoslav, Italian, and Bulgarian OBs.
• Dave Hughes, whose work ensured that the Royal Pioneer Corps at last appears in an Europa game.
• James Parmenter, for his advice in Yugoslav politics and foreign relations.

Winston ably orchestrated the production and developed the computerized system for laying out the counters. (His system reduced the amount of time and labor needed to produce a counter sheet by a factor of three or four. Of course, no good deed goes unrewarded, and he got to use his system himself to produce the counters!)

Barbie Pratt used her amazing hand-eye coordination on the maps -- without knowing in advance how much more work the new style maps would be. By the way, the slightly miscolored high mountain hexsides in the Alps are not her fault. The printers misunderstood a phoned-in GRD instruction, and we didn't catch the mistake before all the maps were printed. (If you look at Map 14A, the glacier hexside at 0128/0129 is somewhat difficult to see on the dark brown mountains. We wanted that hexside lightened up. Apparently the printers also found it hard to see -- they missed it and lightened up the high mountain hexsides instead.)

Rick Gayler and Deen Wood got the rules, OBs, and charts and were told to do their magic on an impossible deadline. They did the impossible, and caught many last-minute glitches, problems, and typos. Thanks, guys.

Finally, thanks to everyone else who contributed to the game.
