Editorial - AHIKS
EditorialSometimes the silenceis.just that.Quiet times are alwayssuspect to me. That'sbecause I reflect on my own periodsof quietude when somebody elbowsme in the ribs because I haven't hadanything to say for a long time.It just sort of hits me—they'rewrong. I have always had somethingto say. I just have been saying themto an audience of one or two insteadof sharing them in print with all ofyou. Writing something up has neverbeen difficult. I just pretend a friendwas over and we started a conversation. Then I continue it on my wordprocessor and I have something tosay. Sometimes it's short and sometimes it's long. But there's alwayssomething.For example, how come nobodyhas ever done an operational game onthe advance of Army Group Norththrough the Baltics in the openingweeks of Barbarossa? I'm not talkingabout the approaches to Leningrad;I'm talking about the romp throughthe Baltics on a regimental scale.How come there are no games on thatcampaign? It could even have latewar scenarios when the Red Armyruns through the same area at aboutthe same speed as the Germans whenthey were headed the opposite direction. That would be cool. An entireEast Front Campaign that's neverbeen done.So—what have you been talkingabout to your one other gamer thatwould be worth sharing? C'mon!Let's hear it!My three days at WBC were entertaining. It was good, as always, to say“hello” to fellow AHIKSers. Tom Oleson and Paul Fletcher were in the Anzioarea. Paul won the toss with Tom and got to give me my annual trouncing inAnzio. Tom had his new map (titled Italia for copyright reasons) on display. Itis very attractive and has a Sicily attachment. The ambiguities are gone; mountain hexes are obviously just that, and non-mountain hexes are clearly withoutmountains.I have never been good at remembering names, and since I turned 70 I haveeven more trouble. I apologize in advance to those I met and have overlooked.Among those I remember are Chris Hancock, Ed O’Connor, and Ken Nied. Onthe last day I talked a while with Bob Ryan (a big winner this year with at leasttwo tournament wins) and Randy Heller. We were trying to come up with someideas to make AHIKS more prominent in the gaming community and to increasethe membership, which took a big hit this year. One of the ideas was to haveAHIKS offer an annual award to be presented at the WBC and another was tohave a member take the job of a PR man for the society. Chester has mentionedadvertising in gaming magazines, and that idea may be brought into action.Gaming and the way games are played are constantly changing. Is theresomething more that AHIKS can offer that gamers would find of value? If youhave any ideas, the Officer Corps would appreciate your input.Bob Johnson and the officers are looking at a multi-player plan. There shouldbe more information on that in the next issue.I asked Don Greenwood if AHIKS could have some space next year to signin so we could look up fellow members. He was amenable to the idea in principle, but we will have to work out specifics. The convention is moving to Lancaster, PA, so the site is unfamiliar to us. As at the early Origins, we could have asign-in sheet saying where we were staying and/or what tournaments we werein; at the same time, we would pick up a easily-seen tag reading “AHIKS” thatwe could stick on the convention badge.I left scattered around some of the AHIKS “business cards” (see issue 38/1)that invite people to apply for membership. I did that last year, too, with no noticeable effect. However, if people see the name often enough, they might become interested.Roger MacGowen received a prestigious prize this year (see page 6). He hasgiven a tremendous amount to the hobby and certainly deserves the prize. I dohave one question on the list of his many achievements. He is credited withoriginating the Charles S. Roberts awards in 1986. It is unclear what this meanssince the awards were first issued in 1975 and were originated by John Mansfield. Roger is currently Chairman and has undoubtedly contributed much to theenterprise, but John Mansfield did start the awards. John was not an “insider” tothe hobby when he originated the awards, and, as I remember it, SPI and AHrather looked down on the awards. Perhaps what is meant is that Roger assumedchairmanship in 1986 and then the “Charlies” became legitimate. At any rate,Roger deserves the congratulations of us all.

Inyour turn you can either activate aforce or conduct an attack. Only active forces may attack or defend. Inattacks the highest combat valuewins, but before the combat is resolved both players take turns playingaction cards that can modify theircombat values or the cards played bytheir opponent. Lightning Midwayhas a nearly identical game system.Players attempt to control four objectives, which correspond to enemyaircraft carriers. Differences are thataction cards are divided into severaltypes and destroyed forces can reenter player hands.www.decisiongames.com/Fiery DragonAutumn Mist is a Brian Train design on the Battle of the Bulge. Ituses a division-level system on asmall map with ten two-day turns.Units are activated by randomlydrawn corps and army HQs. Combatis resolved with a “Mission Matrix”which gives attacker and defenderdifferent “mission” choices.

The game was AH’s Gettysburg and the year was 1959. Avalon Hill was the only companyaround then and was publishing twotitles a year. Like everyone else, Ipurchased and played every new titlethat they put out. My number onefavorite was Bulge ’65. AH’s bimonthly magazine The Generalwas the main source of contact withother gamers. Answering one of theads in The General allowed me tomeet people like Myron Brundidgeand Ray Johnson, two people whohelped advance the hobby in Chicagoduring those early days.Through Myron I was introducedto Fletcher Platt's naval warfaregame, which was played on the floorwith miniature ships. Myron alsoorganized monthly Diplomacy gamesat his place. Friday evenings werespent at Ray's house fighting Napoleonic battles using 20mm metal figures. Ray wrote his own set ofrules, which I helped to playtest before they were published.In 1967 I was called up to theArmy and served as a medic in Vietnam with the 501st regiment of the101st Airborne Division in 1968 69. I received two purple hearts andwas awarded a bronze star with V. In1970 I was a civilian once again andmarried Fay, an Aussie, in Sydney.We lived in Chicago from 1970 to1975, and during this time our sonBrant was born.An opportunity came up to relocate to Sydney of all places. So I puta hold on joining AHIKS and packedup the family and moved to the SouthPacific. We lived in Sydney from1975 to 1979, and during this timeour daughter Amanda was born. Thewargaming scene in Sydney was justas active as it was back in Chicago.The gamers down there were (andstill are) playing board games andminiatures from all periods.In the seventies the unofficialmeeting place for gamers in Sydneywas Napoleon’s Military Book Shop.With the help of good Aussie mateand fellow gamer, Peter Jones, we&'formed a group that recreated WWIaerial dogfights using 1/72 scale plastic plane kits.During this time I hadthe pleasure of knowing John ChardIV not only as a workmate but also asa fellow gamer. His great grandfather was Lt. John Chard of Rorke’sDrift fame.In 1979 we moved back to Chicago and would stay put until 1985.During these six years our otherdaughter Melissa was born. Withfamily and work putting a big dentinto my gaming time I was losingtouch with the hobby. Brant and Ikept the flame alive with the AvalonHill "classics" when time permitted.In 1985 Sydney beckoned me onemore time. It was a choice between the South Pacific where it isbeautiful one day and perfect thenext, and the blizzards of Chicago.This time the move would be permanent. After 41 years I would be saying goodbye to my city of birth.After settling back into life DownUnder, I went through a period of notplaying at all for a few years. Thenwith the family grown and work demands decreased I started playingSSG games against the computer.What a drag that was becoming; Ineeded a human opponent. I did asearch on the net and found "TheWargame Opponent Finder" website.It is just like the want ads in backof the old General. Through thiswebsite I made e-mail contact withtwo great gamers. Rob Mull in Colorado and Bob Jones in Virginia. Robis a very active member of theBoardgame Players Association andgot me back into board gaming withthe use of cyberboard and ADC2. Wehave been gaming against each otherfor five years now. We have playedold titles like Bulge 81, 1776, African Campaign, and the new stufflike Bitter Woods and Monty'sGamble. Recently we did a few sessions of “live” gaming for Monty'sGamble. Being on line at the sametime means that when it is twoo'clock Saturday afternoon in Denver.It is six o'clock Sunday morning inSydney. What some of us will do for(Continued on page 5)
!(Continued from page 4)the love of gaming. Thanks to Rob Itried my hand at competing in a BPAe-mail tourney, and I'm looking forward to signing up for another one.Bob Jones is an AHIKS member whois one of the best Afrika Korps players I have come across. He brings afriendly competitive edge to thegames he plays. Bob is the onewho steered me into joining AHIKS.Yes, after 28 years I finallysent in that new-members form. Because of AHIKS I was able to meetKevin Reid the AHIKS RD downhere in the Pacific area. With his busyscheduled (Kevin is in the RAAF) itwas almost twelve months before Icaught up with him. Since meetingKevin, my face-to-face gaming hasshifted into high gear.In my spare time I designed twocyberboard gameboxes, which is notbad for someone like me. Anything Ido on the computer is self taught.One CB gamebox is for Jedko's African Campaign which Rob and I havebeen using. The other is for the 2ndedition of Bitter Woods which Kevinand I are now using. My BitterWoods gamebox was posted at thewebsite "War Zone C" for downloading last year. Right now I've beenfixing up the files, making a few improvements to it, and will be postingthe improved version 1.1 fordownloading.I've lived here for a total of 23years of my life now. Our three children are all adults; the youngest is 22years old. Our granddaughter turnedone just this past March. A few yearsago when I swore an oathof allegiance to the colony I guess itwas just natural for me to do so.After all these years, Bulge is stillmy favorite, only this time around itgoes by the name of Bitter Woods.There is nothing I like betterthen seeing my 101st Airborne Division moving down the road takingnames and kicking butt.) * (,Like many people, my time available for PBM games grew shorter asmy family and job responsibilitiesgrew larger. Ten years ago it was all Icould do to maintain just one or twoactive PBM games at what had to bea very slow pace. It was then that thecomputer arrived in my house with adial-up modem. Like many gamers Igot involved in the computer gameswhich further reduced my PBM toalmost nothing. However, I found nojoy in either defeating or losing to acomputer player. There is no one todiscuss the game with afterward. Ibelieve a lot of former boardgamersare now using their computers to getback into the old board games for thesame reasons.Previous articles in The K havediscussed the various ways to getrestarted in board gaming. I will mention a few of the various things I aminvolved with so you can check themout yourself.To my mind, the most significantsoftware tool for gamers to comealong in the last 10 years is the "Aidede Camp" (ADC) and the"Cyberboard." I have no experiencewith ADC software. I have used theCyberboard software extensively toplay many games. This is a softwarepackage that originated from DaleLarsen that recreates the game boardsand pieces of many games for use ona computer. No more having to leavea game set up for months or years.There is simply a game file you saveon your computer that, for the mostpart, looks just like the board gameyou have set up in the game room.You simply take turns moving yourunits and resolving battles on thegame board, then create a “move” filethat you send to your opponent. Hecan add this move file to his gamefile and watch your move re-playedbefore his very eyes. He then takeshis turn and the cycle goes on.Many of the game companies anddesigners have no problems allowingother gamers to create these softwarecopies of their boardgames to facilitate playing. The only request theymake is that if you decide to play thegame, you must have a purchased-!!copy of the game you are playing. Ican attest that I have played Paths ofGlory (GMT games) probably 20times and the counters in my gameare still unpunched!The Cyberboard software andinformation can be found at http://cyberboard.brainiac.com/index.htmlOnce you have this software, youwill need the Gamebox for the gameyou want to play. There are severalsources for this. Here is one that Ihave used a few times.http://www.sweetkiss.net/ sk006/wzc/Eng/dl title all.html#wGameboxes tend to evolve overtime, so, if you are going to play withan opponent by trading Cyberboardmove files, it is very important thatyou have the same revision of Cyberboard and Gamebox software.Over the last couple of years Ihave greatly enjoyed playing theGMT card-driven games that originated with We the People. Some ofthe more advanced Cyberboard fileshave these cards included in the gamebox. You can see and move only thecards that you “own;” your opponentsees only the back of them. To showa card to your opponent, you have to“release” ownership.An alternate way to handle thecards in these games is to use theAutomated Card Tracking System(ACTS). To see a list of the gamesthey offer go to: http://acts.warhorsesim.com/index.aspYou can “click” on a game youare interested in and see a list of allthe current games. All card plays anddie rolls are recorded in an on-linejournal that everyone can review.I have participated in two BPAPBeM tournaments that required allgames to be played using ACTS,Wilderness War and For the People. If you are interested in thesegames and would like someone tointroduce you to the system, drop mea line, and I will do my best to introduce you to these systems.

!5The 2004 recipient for the outstanding Historical Simulation Gameis Lock 'n Load, Mark H. Walker,Shrapnel Games.New designer Mark H. Walkerhas attempted to go back to the rootsof tactical wargames with Lock 'nLoad, which is set in the jungles ofVietnam and is the first in a seriesspanning several eras. Tactical gamesstarted off as quick and fun butslowly accreted rules for greater“realism.” This game tries hard tostay simple yet capture a significantdepth of realism. It also uses amechanism whereby units in certainhexes trigger “events.”Not surprisingly for a tacticalgame, terrain, lines of sight, and spotting are crucial. The latter twomechanisms force cautious approaches. Carefully moving units andleaders forward, using the ground,scouting for the enemy, and dealingwith unexpected events as well asenemy actions, all make for a player'sgame which feels gritty and tense.Production values and company support for this game are excellent. It hasthe potential to spawn another greatdynasty of tactical wargames.The International GamersAwards was created to recognizeoutstanding games and designers, aswell as the companies that publishthem. The awards are truly international in scope, with committee members representing countries throughout the world. The goal of the IGAis to select games that are truly the“best of the best,” helping lead togreater exposure for these wonderfulgames and help spread the word ofthe “wonderful world of gaming” ona global scale.Other nominees were: Ardennes'44, Age of Napoleon, Monty'sGamble, Medieval, , Sweden FightsOn, and Warplan.4/It is the job of the unit counter poolofficer to collect, sort, and redistribute counters.
