1. The September flea market was a success. As usual, there seemed to be, by an order of magnitude, more sellers than buyers, but PW took in over $150, which gives us a warm, comfortable feeling in the treasury. 2. In last month's issue appeared a brief note on Tod Kershner's AGE OF REASON rules. Too late, I discovered that the piece also appeared in the HISTORICAL GAMER. I can only assume that the editor of the HISTORICAL GAMER is just as unhappy as I am that the article was submitted to, and published in, both magazines simultaneously. To those of you who wish to submit an article for publication, please don't broadcast the piece throughout the hobby. One magazine is sufficient. Having said all that, this issue of the REVIEW contains Tod's comments on the previous REVIEW article. Tod indicates that he's sent a similar, but more extensive, series of comments to HISTORICAL GAMER. This one time, having published the piece on AGE OF REASON, I'll give Tod his one bite at the apple. 3. For about a year, I've been collecting figures for the British colonial era. There are 30mm Scrubies and Surens and Staddens and a number of CONNOISEUR figures, large 25mm jobbies, which blend in well with the 30mm's. At HISTORICON, my latest purchase for the collection consisted of about 20 figures for a British Naval Brigade, and several native camel riders. I planned to mount the riders on a number of camel figures produced by BRITAIN's... but Jack Culverson immediately pointed out a problem. "You've got two-humpers!" he said. "You need one-humpers!" I was taken aback that anyone would question the authenticity, the historical accuracy, the realistic and simulatory aspects of my British colonial camel corps. I quickly researched the issue. If the integrity of my army is ever again discussed, I shall reveal that the Pasha of the Sudan imported a number of two-humpers to check out their battle performance. This little known historical vignette was well covered in the July, 1989 publication of the Centre For Provocative Wargaming Analysis.
