"Duke" Siegfried has contributed greatly to American Wargaming for twenty plus years. Companies such as DER KRIEGSPIELERS, CUSTOM CAST, and later, HERITAGE, all were influenced by Duke. M first recollection of Duke was in a 1962 Scruby catalog where the last page contained an absolutely mouth watering picture of one of Duke's games using 30mm figures. I still look at *hat picture and think of all the good times in the "Good Old Days." Duke has been a salesman for the hobby. At one time I resented it as I thought wargaming should be a small, personal, fun-orientated hobby without all the razzle dazzle of other activities. For this I owe Duke an apology for his salesmanship brought droves of people into the hobby allowing many companies to enter into the competition. Bruce "Duke" Siegfried has given his life to wargaming. I really don't know if it's been worth it for him. He brought me, all of us, great new products directly and indirectly. Many of his 1970 lines are still available even in today's markets of ever increasing competition. Duke, thank You for giving so much thought, time, and dedicationn to this great hobby. It has resulted in the innovation of terrain, rule., figures, distribution, packaging, etc. Whether you are called Bruce, Duke, or Uncle Duke, you are to be commended) Thanks, Duke!
