Very sad. Over the years I have dealt with him from time to time, and he was always very helpful.[:(]

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I remember perfectly Norm Koger giving his permission to download an abandonware copy of the game, way back in the day. I don't know, however, how his word was worth compared to the rights owners.<br/>

Where has NK gone, BTW? After the whole Distant Guns/Jutland ...

I too would love to see Norm's game remade. It was a wonderful game. I helped playtest the original. [:)]

23 - Operational Art of War (Of those on your list). [:)]

Bonhomme Richard was part of the Continental Navy. The United States did not exist yet. Therefore, she was not USS Bonhomme Richard, but just Bonhomme Richard.

My first board Wargame was 1914 by Avalon Hill (1968). My first computer wargame was Bomb Alley by SSI (1984).

I picked up this game and it is head and shoulders better that the original. A few years back I tried Field of Glory and found it VERY clunky. Field of Glory II is impressive. Glad I made the purchase. Kudos to the developers.

I helped playtest Age of Rifles. I think that was one of Norm's best games (with the possible exception of Operational Art of War). I too hope someone will publish something along the lines of AOR. Loved playing it.

<t> Capitaine, I agree about Age of Rifles. It should be a new version using the same general setup of the old game. One thing I did not like about the original game, was that you could not save individual Orders of Battle. You had to save them in pairs (sides you made for a battle). I mentioned ...

<t> Same here. I have bought and played every version of this fine game. The naval rules were indeed weak, but, it looks like they will address this. I have never been totally happy with the air rules, but, they worked way better than the naval rules. It would be great if Matrix could do a new ...

<t> Old. lol. Just a little kid. I am 63, and I too played the old Avalon Hill, GDW, SPI, WWW games (among many others) starting in the mid/late 1960s. For strategic World War II I like the Paradox game Hearts of Iron III (tried IV, but I don't think it is an improvement over III). Thought I would ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>wings7<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Yes I do. I have not looked at it in many years (just play PC games these days). Another game (non-boardgame) I would like to see redone is Norm Koger's Age of Rifles (I helped playtest it). It was great.<br/>

<r> I always loved SPI's Strategy I. It was an outstanding game. You could makeup any scenario you liked, from any period.<br/>

<r> My favorite SSG game was Europe Ablaze. The thing I liked about all the SSG games was the ability to create your own scenarios (including adding new units and aircraft types).<br/>

How about an updated version of Norm Koger's Age of Rifles. It was a great game and had an editor.

<r> In the 1980s I played SSG's Europe Ablaze on my Apple IIe. I loved that game. Like many of their games, it had an editor. I spent many an hour working on scenarios I designed. Anyway, I wonder if there might be a chance SSG might redo that title. That would be excellent.<br/>

I helped Norm playtest Rifles (I still have the Beta disc he sent me). Yes, I did get it to run a few years ago, but, the sound and all just was too clunky for my likes. One thing I asked Norm for back then was to be able to save your individual OBs so you could call them up ...

<r> Any chance Matrix might be able to redo Norm Koger's <B><s>[b]</s>Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles<e>[/b]</e></B>? I have been playing PC games since the early 1980s and I think Rifles is one of the best. I have always wanted to see this title redone, and Matrix normally does a great ...
