We are reproducing Mr. Sayre's

winning entry as a guidepost for you to ifollow in subsequent contests. It wasinteresting to note that he broke combatdown into only 4 battles instead of 5 asmost of the contestants had done.

with the British 44-132 Unit beca1!sethey are not in each other's zone ofcontrol. Other disqualifications oc­curred when some Units were left outaltogether. In fact, Lawrence Pinsky,would have been a winner except for thefact that he did not engage the FolgereUnit against the British 10- 8 Unit.

Several disqualifications also occur- •red when entrants tried to resolve com­

bat in one great big 2 to 1 battle. Wesuggest that these people re-read therules regarding Multiple Unit Battlesand study examples in the Battle Manual.

Also, several used the same Stockfor more than one battle. But sincethis was not clearly stated in the Con­test rules, we did not disqualify en­trants on this technicality. Hereafter,we shall be more explicit.

Now - turn to page 5 for Contest #2,featuring Baseball Strategy.

The Judges informed us that about10% of the entrants had to be disquali­fied due mostly to the fact that theywere dividing combat between Unitsthat were not in opposing Unit's zonesof control.

Congratulations go to Mr. WesleyH. Sayre, Jr., Rosedale 22, New York,for entering the best contest paper. Heeliminated every British Unit, 11 de­fense factors in all. Second place con­testant, Tim Price, Medford, Oregonalso eliminated all British Units butsuffered more German Casualties thandid Mr. Sayre. The following is a listof the 10 winners in order of finish:

1. Wesley H. Sayre, 240-14 CaneyRoad, Rosedale 22, N. Y.

enough to allow the Federals to recoupand ultimately force the stalemate?

Did "someone" get to Jeb Stuart?It's strange that he suddenly wasn'taround when all the fighting was goingon .... a situation not compatible with hisflair for always being in the' thick ofthings.

And when you get right down to it ...whose side was Abner Doubleday reallyon? If he had spent more time inspiringhis 1st Union Infantry Corps and lesstime inventing baseball surely the warcould have ended right then and there ...or didn't he want to alienate his friendsin the south which was to become thespawning ground for the nation's bestprofessional ballplayers such as TyCobb and Pete Runnels?

Our correspondent feels that a con­gres sional investigation into this matteris long overdue. What do you think?

Well, this is what we think ... thiswhole article is a bit of provocativenonsense by our neurotic editor to re­mind you that "original Gettysburg" isback in stock. A continuing flood ofrequests for this particular title left uswith no alternative but to re- run the '58edition. Elsewhere in this newsletterare the facts on the new and improvedversion of the original Gettysburg game.And if you think that the real campaignwas "fixed," we'd have to say thatyou're "even further out" than our edi­tor.

Was the Battle "Fixed?"

Gentlemen:

Horray! At last someone has comeup with a good, if not downright bril­liant idea for fledging military' 'brains. "Let me be one of many, I'm sure, whowill congratulate you on your idea of"play-by-mail" kit (s); how about mak­ing these kits for your other games?

I noticed in the circular advertisingAfrika Korps that the games' pricedoesn't include aField Marshalls baton;thats too bad, since I have alreadybought a slightly used Command Car.Oh well, $5.98, doesn't buy today whatit did 10 years ago ... Walter Stewart.

Sir;... I am playing one of your editors,

Carl F. Knabe II, and I would appreci­ate any tips you could give me for theBritish ... Freddie Adams, Atlanta,Georgia.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Just pray.

Dear Sir s:I find that Afrika Korps is very un­

even. Rommel cannot get Tobruch ifthe Allied Commander has any senseat all. The only reason Rommel tookTobruch was because the British lostcontrol of the Mediterranean. In thisgame Britain never lose control of theMediterranean. Also, the Germanscannot attack on the first turn becausethey don't have a garrison in their homebase to get a supply train ...

I have been at schoolat Groton, in Groton, Mass. since theFall of 1961.

My favorite Avalon Hill game, ofwhich I have several, is a version ofGettysburg, using the old board and themen from the more recent version (Iwas able to find the Confederate brigadecommanders' names after a little re­search.) My ideal is to set up a gameof German Intelligence Gettysburg,whereby each player relays his movesto a central figure who can see every­thing, and tell each player exactly howmuch they can see. I would be delightedto receive ideas on this or any othersubject. .. Thomas S. La Farge, PointRoad, Marion, Mass.

Dear Sir,

I would personally like to congratu­late you and your company on the de­signing of such an interesting, exciting­sounding, intrigueing, captivating, drool,smack, pant, wheeze game as "AfrikaKorps." In fact, I shall prove myap­preciation by ordering one, when I getthe money.

However, I want to issue a protestagainst your company's insinuation that1, or any other sel£- styled general wouldgo "ape" over anything! We're muchtoo intellectual! ... A Fan, 410 DoyleDrive, Alexandria, Virginia.

Gentlemen:

I'd like to know what prompted yournew approach to advertising. It soundsas if Li'l Abner is writing your prose:"Drool, smack, pant, wheese, slobber."Ha.

Unless you've really come up withsomething new and spectacular, yourprice for the GENERAL is completelyridiculous. Maybe you should send outfree samples I get the NationalGeographic for less than $ .60 a copy.

Anyway, enclosed please find a checkfor the full amount of $5.98 for AFRIKAKORPS. I would appreciate deliveryas immediately as possible ... David B.Rezin, 1306 lIth Ave., Yuma, Arizona.

Hold it, fellows ... many of you AfrikaKorps Generals out there in the "desert"are attacking on your very first Turn.This is not allowed because the Germanplayer does not control his home baseat the beginning of the gam,e, thereforehe is not entitled to a Supply Unit onthe first Turn. Absurd? Certainlynot ... at this time in the real campaignthe Germans were having supply prob­lems as insolated elements of Britishled troops were constantly harras singGerman supply columns- coming up fromTripoli ... one of the reasons why theBritish were "asleep at Msus whenRommel rolled right past them March31, 1942." The German strategy atthe beginning of the game, therefore,is to move into position against the4-4-7 British Unit at Msus and "kill"it on the 2nd or succeeding Turn.

Afrika Korps-Rules Supplement1. SEA MOVEMENT: We are re­

versing our previous stand and are nolonger allowing sea movement of anykind in and out of Benghazi. However,sea movement between Tobruk and yourhome base is allowed. Example: in Oneturn you may move Units to Tobruk andthen off the board, leaving them "atsea." On your next turn you place themdirectly on your home base square andyou can move them to wherever youwish according to their full movementfactor. (NOTE: this ruling super cedesthat printed in the May issue of "TheGeneral. ") To transfer Units fromyour home base to Tobruk the procedureis reversed: in one turn you move yourUnits to your home base and then re­move them from the board. On the nextturn place them at Tobruk and movethem to wherever you wish. To repeat:this rule is to be followed in place ofthat stated in the May is sue under theheading, "Afrika Korps - - Sea Move­ment." Transfers between Tobruk andyour opponent's home base is neverallowed, even if you control your op­ponent's home base. Also remember:movement of Combat and Supply Unitsin and out of Benghazi by sea is nolonger allowed.

2. GERMAN FIRST TURN: TheGerman player is not allowed to attackon his first turn of the game. Becausehe does not control his home base atthe beginning of this turn, he is notentitled to a Supply Unit. This rule iselaborated upon elsewhere in this news­letter.

3. GRID SQUARES: The row ofsquares at the south side of the boardcontaining grid number s cannot be used.Row X is the lowest row that can beused.

Suggestion: Any isolated unit should beallowed to retain 1/3 of its offensivestrength. Thus, an isolated 3:3:7 wouldi. e. become a 1:3: 7. This rule pertainsonly to the individual units themselves,not to the total offensive strength of anygroup of isolated units; ex. if 21 offen­sive factors are isolated you could nottake, say a 4:4:7 and a 3:3:7, to repre­sent the total offensive strength of theisolated units. Ignore fractions (a 4:4:7becomes a 1:4:7) unless they total awhole number (3:4:4:7's have togethera strength of 4:12:7).Reason: An isolated unit rarely losesall its fighting capacity. Although itmay have to abandon its heavy equip­ment, and may lack ammunition andpetrol, there is almost always enoughof both of the latter to refuel some ve­hicles and arm some men (esp. if there.is an air force to drop the bare neces­sities of combat). Once the isolation isbroken it could refuel and go back to itsprevious strength. History providesmany examples of such breakthroughs.

Thi~ rule would allow isolated unitsto aid free units in a breakout or possi­bly to do so themselves.

Change in Isolation

ner they wish for the first turn (disre­garding the March 1941 situation card).Replacement rate begins normally, butit remains at a ratio of three Britishfactors to one Axis factor a turn,whether or not Tobruch falls.

3. Starting the second half of April1941 the British receive 1 replacementfactor a turn, and the Axis receive 1factor for every 3rq British factor.Therefore, the Axis would receive 1factor in'the beginning of June anotherin the second part of July and so on.When the Germans take Tobruch bothplayers receive 1 factor every otherturn; or, if the Bri!ish home base iscaptured, 1 factor every third turn.

I point all this out so the above ruleswOn't be called "play balance." Theuse of anyone of them will serve tomake the game more realistic in thelong run. Use rule No.3 to begin with,since this is probably the one that bestaccomplishes equalizing the game.Rule No.2 will shift the chance on vic­tory to the Germans; and No. 1 willshift it to the British.

For the most realistic of all gamesuse Rule No. 2 in conjunction with thereduced German supply capacity. Itmakes for a highly challenging gamefor 'any German player. Try it and seehow much like Rommel you really are.

Rules Don't Sacrifice Play Balance

On the other hand, Tom Rosseler ofOgden, Utah feels:

"To the people who have submittedthe "infallable" German Plan, I havebut one word, "impossible! I don'tcare what the plan or what the game is,all "set" plans have theirweaknesses.The first obvious weakness in Knabe'splan is his" set ideas" and his "logicalthinking." At best warfare is anythingbut logical. All excellent command­ers reason and think in the abstract(buy not logically? - CK), i. e. To de­fend a river they fight in front of it;they attack the strongest part of theline thus smashing the enemy's sys­tem of "logical thinking" and his army.

Delving deeper into Knabe's plan,we can see if certain key units (suchas the 5-5-4's) can be eliminated, hisplan will be flattened. Actually, sincehe had no strategical plan but justtactical ones, he will be at a com­plete loss at what to do. All in all hewill be flattened and mashed, andsmashed and slaughtered. "Myself, I no longer use Plan Red but

instead try different radical Germandefenses since I have become ratherbored with the same pattern of action(Plan Red) which leads to the sameconclusion more than 9 out of 10 times,i. e. a German win.

Please, no more challenges forAFRIKA KORPS - I have passed thetwenty-five mark and feel that the eightI am currently playing are all I canhandle plus!

Play Balance for Afrika Korps - Victor Madeja; Editor

Line, even though I didn't exactly getall the units into the positions yousuggested. Neverless, when theAllied troops hit the Meuse River line,it was like smashing into a stone wall.By the time they did break throughthey were too weak to do anythingabout it. I was able to counter-attackand wipe them out. So, thanks to you,I can win a few games of D-DAY."

After receiving AFRIKA KORPS, Iwas disappointed because time aftertime the British were crushed early inthe game. With the reduced Germansupply capacity for play balance, theresult took longer to achieve and was,perhaps more costly for the Axis.After considerable experimentation, }decided on the following rules for equal­izing the chances of victory.

1. Begin replacement rate first halfof May 1941, and continue every otherturn thereafter. In all other respects,

To those asking questions about thecoordinate system - it was supplied tome by the Avalon Hill Company and al­though it is very satisfactory it mightbe confusing to those not "initiated" inhexagonal coordinate methods. Thebest way to figure it out is to draw aline between two points on the sameletter line (say Calais V-12 and ChateauThiery V-20) and two points on an in­tersecting number line (say La Havre0-17 and Luxembourg CC-17) and thenline up the rest of the number and letterlines from these base two.

To those now wondering what "PlanRed" is - it was supplied by me to theAvalon Hill Company as the result ofthree years of work On the part offriends and myself as the optimum Ger­man defensive set up for D-DAY andwhich appeared in the May 1st issuewith such garish column headings as"Plan Red - The Unstoppable GermanDefense" and "Germans Can't Lose inD-Day" (these supplied by AH, by theway, which although a "tad bit" out­spoken are, unfortunately, true). Ifthe Germans play their cards right theycannot lose, especially under the newrules supplied by Avalon Hill to bringthe whole game back into line with laterAvalon Hill War Games. If you missedthe article or the new rules you canstill order the May 1st issue as a backis sue.

I have received plus and minus com­ment on Plan Red - but little from theMidwest. What's the matter Midwest,nobody play the games or nobody hasany opinions? Holger Swanson of WestOrange, New Jersey writes:

Sage Sarge Sez: Tadics for Two-Operation Can-Can

by Louis Zocchi

Southwest

I call this Operation Can Can becauseyou bottle up and de stroy the Red 1s tCorps. You will use all your armor inthe attack and you will can his entireforce. At the end of this article I willrecap how many squares each man hasleft on the road after reaching C8-16.Each time Reds 1st Corps set upchange s, you will have to devise a dif­ferent placement on the island for yourfighting troops. Remember to get asmany 3-1 attacks as you can. He won'tbe able to retreat so you can cut himup in as many pieces as you like. 5-1attacks are better than 3-1 but you willhave to fight 5 of his men on your fir stmove and you can't get 5 -1 in all the sefights. Don't fight at 2-'1, that's ask­ing for trouble.

1. Your 1st Amphibian starts in theSW corner of 1st Army area andmarches to Blue capital. He ships outand lands on the beach on the northside of Red island and moves via theroad to 6-14. Because this is directlyadjacent to C8-l6, you have control ofthe city and can use it for a port.2. 1st ArmyGroup moves to Blue cap­ital, ships out to most western squarein C8-16 and moves to 12-8 square whichblocks the north bridge into the Redcapital at C16-9.3. 1st Army HQ unit goes to Blue cap­ital and ships to the east square inC8-l6. He moves across the bridge tostop at 11-16. This gives him controlof C13-l6 which can be used as a port.4. 4th Corps HQ, which starts fromthe most NW square in the corps area,moves to C43-43 and ships to C13-l6.Moving via roads to 15-14, he can denyRed direct access to the North Red cap­ital br idge.5. 2nd amphib starting from NE cornerof 2nd corps area, moves to Blue capi­tal, ships out, and lands at 10-3 beachand moves to 8-3 blocking the road.6. 5th armored moves to C28-51 andships to C8-l6. He arrives with 19road moves left. He moves to 4-5.7. 6th Armored moves to C28-5l andships to C8-l6 arriving with 18 on roadmoves left. Put him at 4-6.8. 3rd armor moves out from the east­most square of the company area andmoves to the Blue capital. He ships toC8-16 and arrives with 10 road movesleft. He moves to 9-7.9. 22nd in£. starting from 29-51 movesto C28-51 and arrives in C8-16 with 12road moves left. He goes' to 9-6.10. 21st in£. starting from 30-51 movesto C28-5l and garrisons.11. 4th armored starting at 38 -45moves to C43-43 ships to C8-16 andarrives with 15 moves left. He goes to9-5. ,

12. 2nd armor at 16-34 moves viathe road to Blue capital and ships toC8-16. He arrives with 14 moves leftand goe s to 5- 7.13. 1st armor moves from 9-49 toBlue capital and ships to C8-l6 with 7moves left and goes to 6-7.14. 23rd in£. moves from 30-52 toC8-l6 with 10 road moves left. Movehim to 8-7.15. 24th in£. moves to C28-5l shipsto C8-16 with 11 road moves left. Movehim to 7-7.16. 25th in£. starting from east squarein corps area, moves 5 squares to C25­51 ships to C13-l6 and thence via roadto 16-9 from which he blocks the westbridge into Red capital.17. Place paratr'oops at 4-4 and 6-3.This completes your surrounding ofRed's 1st corps.18. Send remainder of 1st corps toBlue capital.19. Send 2nd and 3rd corps to,form aline along the river running north tosouth on line 26. Defend the river fromthe North forest to the mountains in thesouth. Use your HQ units to defend thebridges. If Red crosses at the bridges,you would only loose HQ units. You willhave 18 squares to defend but by plac­ing a man in every other square you cando it effectively.20. Send your mountain divisions to theBlue capital.21. Dispatch 4th corps troops to C43­42 to standby for shipping out or shipthem out to the Blue capital and movethem along the roads towards the bor­der river so you will have a force avail­able for counter attack if Red attacksacross the river.

In the attack diagram, I have showedonly one set-up that Red might use inhis 1st corps area. As you can see,Red's initial disposition of troops with­in the 1st corps area will dictate how

and where you will place your troopsfor the first attack. The first move ismade in 3 phases. The first phase isisolating of Red on the island. Thesecond phase is the setting up for com­bat on the island, and the third phaseis the constructing of your own defense.

Red's 1st corps is completely sur­rounded so he can't retreat. I have nofear of 3-1 fights in this situation be­cause a retreat for Red means death.If all goes perfectly, I will killoff5 Redunits, and he will have only his armoredandHQ unit left after combat. If allgoes badly, he could get 3 exchangeswith me, kill one of my men in the 1-1 andlose one man on the 5-1. No matterhow it goes, Red won't have more than3 men left after the battle. He willhave no room to maneuver, and I canbring in the 4th corps to replace mylos se s while Red has only his paratroopswhich are too valuable to sacrifice fora lost cause.

Red will probably attack your bridgeguards but he won't be able to reach hisshattered 1st corps in time if you blockthe bridges again from the island side.If you used your 4th corps to reinforceyour island troops.

If Red doesn't occupy C3-28, cap­ture it with your paratroops on your 2ndmove of the game. You can use your1st or 4th corps to ship out of that cityand attack the red defenders on theriver or any other targels within range.

When Red has the first move, hischances for wiping out a complete corpswithin 2moves are very slim. I recom­mend capturing C43-43 with the 1stamphibian and moving the 1st, 2nd, 4th,5th, and 6th armoreds to the city andthence to an attack on the 4th corpsarea. If you attack any other corpsarea, Blue can attack you from 2 direc­tions. Ship your 1st reserve and 4thcorps area. If you attack any othercorps area, Blue can attack you from 2directions. Ship your 1st reserve and4th corps to C43-43 to garrison thecity and attack 4th corps. Send your2nd and 3rd corps to the border river.Blue will be in a tight spot. If he useshis reserve to fight off your invaders,they will be outnumbered. If he bringshis 3rd corps in to help 4th corps his

For this column J think I will finishup the story of my game. Last columnI said I would tell you how we coloredthe board, the optional rules, nature ofthe armed forces and the like, so I shall.In coloring the board we used a solu­tion of colored India ink for the seas .For the mountains we used brown magicmarker which worked very well. Forswamps we again used the magic mark­er except this time the color was greenand we used standard swamp symbols.For coloring the counters we used so­lutions of colored India ink brushingthem On the counters. To write onthe,se colored counters we used a spe­cial pen called a Rapidograph. Thispen though expensive ($5.00) is what Iconsider the best for the job. Afteryou I re through writing and coloringthese counters it is best to use somesort of clear lacquer spray to keep thecounters from ever smearing. Thishas worked satisfactorily for us and Ihope it works as well for you.

On the board we have flak units de­signed to protect the large industrialcomplexes of each country from airattack. Also for the protection of sup­ply centers and ports. We have ar­mored units as well as motorized ih­fantry on the board. The difference be­tween regular infantry and motorizedis the movement factor, the motorizedbeing higher. Specialized units "unique"to our game are engineers. Theseengineers repair bridges, cities, portsand railheads if damaged by enemy ac­tion. We also have aircraft the fact ofwhich is now obvious. Aircraft aredivided into 3 parts, fighters, bombersand transports. Each has special prop­erties regarding attacking other units.Fighters for example can attack, trains,bridges and bombers while bombersattack ports, ships, factories, and ar­mored, infantry units. (Bombers in­clude fighter bombers, dive bombers,and the long range heavies.) Transportscarry the paratroops, engineers, gen­erals, ambassadors and'regiments ofregular infantry. Also "unique" to ourgame is the navies. We have carriers,battleships, cruisers, destroyers, sub­marines, mines, mine-sweepers, minelayers, etc.

At present, Ihave received challenges from 12 dif­ferent people from all over the country.I wish to thank everyone who has writtenso far and encourage intere sted oppo­nents to include challenges at anytime.

Trying to standardize my column, Ihave decided to include as a regularfeature, two interesting and informativeadditions to my regular article. Thefirst addition is a book review of 10books that pertain to Avalon Hill games.Many of these books can be purchasedin paperback and should provide a com­plete background to many of the games.All of the books included are writtenby well known authors and I hope theywill be of interest to all of you militarystrategists.1.

The success of Avalon Hill's play­by-mail has been wonderful because itenables people who have never met, tochallenge each other. Following up Onthe idea of individual games, one of myclub members has come up with agreat new idea. The type of game sug­gested by Chief of Staff George Phelpswould be a multi-player game thatwould require the talents of 12 to anunlimited number of interested players.Following is this suggestion plan andthe organization of such a game.

Multi-player gameAll major command posts would be

filled with staffs for the larger com­mands. You would, under most cir­cumstances have - both superiors andsubordinates, something lacking in most

Everybody's HappyDear Sir:

If you honor my request and repre­sented currency, you will make manypeople very happy. You will make mehappy because I'll have the game. Youwill make your company happy becauseyou will have my money. And you willmake the President happy because Iwill have spent my tax cut and thegovernment will get some of that money.DavidB. Whiskeyman, 112 S. BroadSt.,Lititz, Pa.

multi-commander games. There wouldbe really four different types of com­mand. The first would be the lowestcommand, because he would have nosubordinates. He would receive ordersfrom hif> superior and be allowed toactually move the troops. You wouldfor example, get an order from yourimmediate comm~nder to capture "X"city, or cross "Y" river line. Thisorder wouldn't tell you where to moveyour units, it would just tell you whatyou have been ordered to do.

The next link is the commands be­tween the supreme commander and thelower subordinates. These leaderswould not move any troops but wouldbreak down a general order in termsof the specific area he was in charge of.A typical order might be to capturecities a, b, and c by a certain month.The commander, in turn, would dis­patch orders to their subordinates, whowould be of two types. The first typewould be the subordinates who actuallymove the troops. If the commander ishigher up, he would have subordinateswho would break his orders down lowerto be transferred again, so it pertainsto the specific area. This is a vitallink in the command system, for eachcommander is responsible for gettingthe job ordered by his superiors donein the best way possible, and he is re­sponsible for the success or failure ofhis subordinates. Also, these com­manders would have a staff, which willbe explained later on.

The third group is composed usuallyof only two members. This is thesupreme command which dictates ordersto everyone else. Their orders wouldbe only in general terms. Orders fromthe supreme commanders might read,"destroy all enemy units in this area."They would also have a staff to helpthem in their plans.

The fourth group of positions is thestaff. There are four staff offices,operation, personnel, intelligence andlogistics.

Personnel is perhaps the least de­sired of all the jobs because he wouldhave to send reports to all commandersof the strength of the troops under hiscommand. This job would be even moreinteresting with games that involved

large numbers of troops and it couldserve as a jumping off place for com­mand positions.

Logistics would be an interestingposition even without actual supplypieces to worry about. The job wouldalso cover the movement of reinforce­ments to the front. In a game such asAfrika Korps it would be one of themost desirable because of the import­ance of supply in the game.

Intelligence is an unusual positionbecause you have to anticipate themovements of your opponent. Your re­ports go a long way to determine whatthe commander will do.

Operations probably is the best ofall staff positions because you plan theexact movements outlined by the su­preme commander. The actual coordi­nation of the troops would be anotherjob of operations.

I would like to organize a first gameby this system. This first game wouldbe of D-Day. If you are interested inparticipating, please se.nd the followinginformation.

1. Your name and address2. A list of all Avalon Hill games

you own.3. A list of all Avalon Hill games

you can play.4. How long have you been playing

Avalon Hill games.5. Which of the four groups you

would prefer (give 1st, 2nd, and 3rdchoices and if staff, which position).

This information will be used partlyto determine which job you will receive.But no guarantees can be made to theposition you will get.

Please send your requests as soonas possible because the deadline forrequests is July 31, when the game willbegin.

Please addresp all requests to,George Phelps, 20624 Skouras Drive,Canoga Park, California 90136.

Attention! Are you interested in aneasy victory in any Avalon Hill game?Would you like to be guaranteed a winbefore you even start? If your answeris yes, don't bother to read any furtherbecause the following challenge is toonly those opponents who feel they areworthy enough to play against me.Only a true Avalon Hill player with alarge experience can comprehend thetotal scope of my magnificant strategy.
