[edit] Regarding my Hydrans.

I have no objections to you moving the article, or moving the purely SFC related info. It's just my knowledge regarding SFB only really stretches as far as what I know from the 1st SFC game and reading a few articles on this site. Thanks for the heads up. cya around-Ktan 11:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Simulations Publications

I just wanted to congratulate and thank you for your superb work on that article.

Also, I see from your user page that you've edited the The Space Gamer article. You may be interested in the note I just left on Talk:The Space Gamer.

Thanks! I figured it needs to get the same sort of attention that Avalon Hill already has. I'll leave you a note directly, but at the moment Wiki is barfing on your talk page (but not the main user page), so....
Also, if you read this before I get a chance to leave a message, It would be nice if you could tighten up my editor info on The Space Gamer, your collection is much more complete than mine. --Rindis 16:25, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wargames

Thanks for the good edits and formatting of the "notable" wargames list. A big improvement over the laundry list that was there before.Michael Dorosh 20:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Heh, just got done thanking you on Talk:Wargaming. ^_^ I'd also like to thank you for the edits to the end of the History section. Much better. I've been largely out of the wider wargaming community since '82, so anything you can do to extend the history past that point would be good. I might manage something off some of the magazines I've been buying off eBay, but that project could take me years to get around to. -_^ --Rindis 20:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I know what you mean. How stupid were we 20 years ago (if you were out of diapers, I mean) :-) not to buy this stuff when we had the chance. I am now buying up WARGAMER, FIRE AND MOVEMENT etc. on ebay also - I find the anniversary editions provide great references on the "history of wargaming" and WARGAMER especially published great anthologies on individual topics (ie history of naval wargames, history of Civil War wargames, etc.) Unfortunately my library is only up to the mid-to-late 80s, as reflected in my wikipedia edits!Michael Dorosh 20:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Born in '70. My dad was in the industry (I'm doing my best to stay away from WP:AUTO), but went out of business just as I was really reaching the point of being able to intelligently observe some of what was going on. Sounds like I need to pay more attention to The Wargamer. --Rindis 20:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of board wargames

Hello! A game like the classic Terrible Swift Sword is considered a grand tactical game (the entire battle of Gettysburg in regimental scale) while a smaller game such as Devil's Den would be more tactical (company level). Operational games are at the brigade level (Battle of Atlanta). Strategic games are campaign or operational in nature. I'd love to hear your ideas, and would welcome your changes to the list - not a problem! I've been a gamer since collge in the late 1970s, and now much more into miniature gaming. I merely wanted to differentiate the levels (similar to what we do in the ACW miniatures world to segregate company level games (Brother Against Brother), regimental (Johnny Reb 3), brigade level (Fire & Fury) and strategic.

Rindis - thanks for fixing the formatting on the Operation Kadesh link. I'm new to Wikipedia and am largely clueless about formatting. Anyway, I'm interested in the Arab-Israeli conflict, and figured that I'd slowly fill out the game descriptions if no one else is going to. I'll add a description for Fast Attack Boats at some point in the next couple of weeks. --Bookshelf

No problem. I've slowly learned (and re-learned) all the tricks over a period of time. I still have a lot of things that I want to get in there, and then a heck of a lot of red-links to do something about... ^_^ Pity I don't get paid for this, it'd be great job security! --Rindis 22:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] House organ

Nice job on this as well!Michael DoroshTalk 21:38, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Heh. I have to thank Answers.com and Barron's on that one. I knew more-or-less what a house organ was, but was having a hard time writing anything better than an 'ehh' wiktionary definition until I saw the 'internal vs. external' bit that I hadn't really thought about before. So, I learned something new and passed it on to Wikipedia. ^_^ --Rindis 21:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
