Andrew Blauveldt

Blauveldt teaches English at St. Cloud College in Minnesota. He made great contributions to the Avalon Hill edition of Napoleon at Bay. He compiled four pages of clarifications and errata for the General as well as contributing an article on strategy in NAB. He was also brave enough to raise the question in a letter: 'what is the message of wargaming to my two kids?' There are multiple messages, ranging from 'it's fun to smash the other guy,' to encouranging the insight that unbridled aggression provides the energy for its own defeat.

Michael J. Bowen

You may have seen this Englishman's name in the Clash of Arms newsletter. He has really jumped in on the new edition of NAB, and provided a lot of vital proofing.

Chris Janiec

I first met Chris at Origins, as I was wandering around the facility about 2 a.m. He and another Navy pilot were playing Napoleon at Bay. I sat down to watch, and was very impressed to see how they resolved the occasional rules question by reasoned discussion and never once glanced at me! Chris re-wrote the Standard Rules to The Eagles Turn East, which means he--like all the others on this list--has made an incalculable contribution to the new Napoleon at Bay.

John Kranz

John has done a great service in creating the Virtual Wargamer Web Page, where the discussions in this issue originated. Gaming public and publishers alike owe him their thanks.

Christopher Moeller

Christopher designed and produced the graphics for the Organization Displays, the Unit and Leader Manifests and the Battle Record Card. He had already designed these before he knew there would be a new edition. He was gracious enough to offer these for inclusion in this edition after adopting the necessary corrections. As shows clearly, he is a professional graphic designer. He is also an illustrator, and produced and designed a Napoleonic Card Game with original drawings some of which grace this issue. Those interested in his work should contact: MoellerC@aol.com

Nicola Prandoni

When our Napoleonic Tour to Italy landed in Milan on July 9th, 1993, Nicola was there to meet us at the airport and escort us part of the way. He later came to the U.S. to study and helped playtest the 1807 game which was then in development.

Richard Simon

Richard is well-known to those on the Virtual Wargamer webpage. He wrote the first letter on The Eagles Turn East, which began a long correspondence about the game.

John Wladis

John has made incomparable contributions as a researcher since 1979's Napoleon at Leipzig. Each of these grognards will receive the deluxe edition of Napoleon at Bay as a token of esteem and appreciation.
