Hi, I was never a big fan of AH. (I thought their games were more generic compared to the detail in SPI games.)
I finished many games of WIE. We had a regular crew of players (multiplayer WIE)
In more then one location we had the game set up. I used to play at one house on certain nights and another on other nights and I had a game set up in my front room. (I didn't own a TV back then)

I still have every copy of S&T from issue 1 to 200

I met him once at Origins, he tried to sell me Campaign for North Africa. Unfortunately, for me or him I don't know, I did not have the money.

Still have all my games AH, SPI, GDW, GRD, Yaquinto etc. although wife 1.0 would love to move em out.

Skyros, it was definitely your loss - one of those in good condition, if you were to bring yourself to sell it, would be worth a fortune today. Personally, I bitterly regret losing most of my copy in moving - although a full game was nigh-on impossible I enjoyed playing with it so much that it didn't matter.

Redmond Simonsen contributed so much to gaming. He was superb at graphic design. I started boardgaming with Borodino in S&T32 (iirc) and stayed with it up to Jim Dunnigan's departure. If you compare the layout and graphic quality of S&T to it's rivals at the time, there's no doubt who was streets ahead.

Just one further post: The NYTimes obituary.
<Raises glass>Bye, Mr. Simonsen.
