Notes from the OCD Ward.

Dirk, it doesn't require a lottery win, just time (14 years for PG and 16 for GWAS) and patience. Another example, Jim Stear has designed two scenario books using counters from GWAS Med and Jutland and maps from SWWAS Eastern Fleet and Strike South. I was able to draw all the counters needed from a copy of Cruiser Warfare bought on a sale from Avalanche, and used copies of Med 1st edition and Northern Waters (first version of Jutland) from Noble Knight for $27 plus shipping. Check early and often, today a first edition Med went for $11, Airborne Introductory went for $18.

Vince, of course you are right, I should at least be logging plays. I like AAR's that flow like a storyboard, and the kind of time that takes will be available to me after I retire. I may even buy a computer by then, instead of using the library.
