Strategy & Tactics 014 - 1914

This issue covered the game '1914'.  I found the coverage really good -- so much that I would have bought the game if I could.  And it was all of $7!!!!

Apparently, S&T almost went bankrupt before this issue.  Financial troubles follow S&T for many years -- I am so glad they didnt go under.  This is still not the magazine it would become -- but it is getting closer!

Strategy & Tactics 013

 This was the issue where S&T changed from monthly to every two months -- a format they still use.

The articles were much improved.  But what I found most interesting was articles on counter-insurgency.  I suddenly realised that the Vietnam war was raging as this was being written.

I really enjoyed the article on the Battle of Britain, which was half of the issue.

Birthday Betrayal

 Back from fishing, we had a full house.  Except at the last minute Cass bailed.  We had agreed to play Dune, and we played a 5 player game.

I was allied with Ross, but he ditched me to play with Andrew.

I was allied with Martha, but she ditched me to play with Rob

In the end Martha got the win by dragging the clock out.
