Without the individuals who contribute on a day-to-day basis there would be no OSG. In constant communication, they offer counsel on issues ranging from game design to contract negotiations and publicity. Christopher Moeller http://www.cmoeller.com Chris ('OSG wage slave') Moeller has been a part of OSG from the re-start in May of 1997. He has contributed substantially to every game we've published. He is an inveterate gamer and a graphic designer and illustrator. He painted the covers to both 1806 and La Guerre de l'Empereur. He made major contributions to the second edition of La Guerre, seeing to it that the great game hiding there in the first edition came to light. Chris is slowly collecting material for "Red Michael" an illustrated history of the life of Marshal Ney. He writes, "According to John Foster's 'Napoleon's Marshal' before the battle of Elchingen, Murat was in command of Ney, and apparantly ignored Ney's advice with his famous "I understand nothing of your plans, I make mine in the presence of the enemy" statement. After the attack failed, Napoleon admonished Ney and ordered him to attack Elchingen. Turning to Murat, Ney taunted, "Come with me and make your plans in the presence of the enemy!". Napoleon looked at Murat, but he didn't care to explain." Christopher would appreciate hearing from anyone with sources of similar vignettes from the life of the "Bravest of the Brave.'
