Dispatch From HQ It's been decided that I should take over the Board Walk. This column was introduced nearly a year ago, but has rarely been seen since due to neglect and lack of manpower at the SHADIS offices. Like a good soldier, I will dust things off, clean house and set out to give my favorite gaming form the attention it deserves. At this point, you are probably wondering what qualifies me for this position. I have been gaming since 1979, and I like to consider myself a renaissance gamer, as I have truly played just about anything I can get my hands on. I love to game, and since I have seen so many different games come and go over the years, I decided that I wanted to put my gaming diversity to good use. The second reason is that so many people that play games today are getting locked into only one facet of our hobby. In other words, role-players are role-players, and wargamers are wargamers, and ne'er the twain shall meet. This is untrue! We want to promote the great diversity that our hobby holds for us. What better way to role-play a medieval siege in your fantasy game than by leaming how to perform a siege from a wargame about that particular subject? I hope that you'll enjoy these reviews as much as we'll enjoy writing them. Til Johnny comes marching home again... Board Walk Board Game Reviews by Marcelo A.
