The Notice Board

1971

by Don Featherstone

Thanks for the announcement in the Notice Board. I received several participants from the announcement. Over a hundred engaged in a Napoleonic battle with the French facing the combined elements of Austrian and Russian forces, two World liar II engagements with the Germans facing first the Russians and then Americans, and a Japanese naval force fought a British Naval force. Plus the usual number of Avalon Hill, Strategy and Tactics, Diplomacy and other board games."

    --Donald Wolff (of Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A.)

"I have looked for some time in the Princeton University library and have not been successful in obtaining flag information on the Austrians, Bavarians, Prussians, Poles, Portuguese or Spanish Armies of the Napoleonic period. Perhaps one of your readers or yourself might be able to tell me the names of books where this information can be had. I could then search Washington D.C. or New York City."

    --Joseph F. Seliga, Trenton, NJ, USA

Barry Carter has moved from Formby to Oxford and hopes he might meet wargamers in his new area. His address is 13 Quarry High Street, Headington, Oxford, (Tel: 61836). Although he has always specialised in Naval wargaming and has some fine Second World War fleets in 1/1200 scale, he has been making Airfix A.F.V's recently and is also the proud owner of his first Avalon Hill game "Panzerblitz".

He thanks those Lancashire wargamers who contacted him during his short stay in the north- west. His new post is to lecture in 20th century world studies at the Oxford Polytechnic and he has perhaps attained every wargamer's dream -- he has inherited in the post a complex American situation-game for 20 to 30 players, called "Dangerous Parallel" which is based on the Korean War and which has been used with students to help with an understanding of how international crises can arise.
