After our promotional material was printed we decided to include Questions and Answers for Last Days of the Grande Arm9e. I hope you will find it useful. This decision caused us to bump the progress report on Highway to the Kremlin; this report appeared in our April e-news. Your can find all our e-news on the web at NapoleonGames.com

The article on the Consimworld debate (page 22) shows the pitfalls of the "reviewer" mentality. If you are mentally writing a "game review" as you play, that mental commentary prevents you from giving yourself over to the experience. If you really want to enjoy our hobby, sit back, enjoy the ride, and avoid premature evaluations.

New Project Proposals Guillaume Bertrand has submitted Napoleon's Game, a sortof cross between La Guerre de 1'Empereur- and Paths of Glory. Alessandro Fontana sent us several prototypes in the Last Battles series for a projected 1813 Quad to include Grossbeeren, Dennewitz, Katzbach and Bautzen. Three of these games have already been published in Italy and played among club members. Let us hear your reaction to these proposed titles! Enjoy this issue.
