Let me introduce to you the fine cadre of hard working, diligent and very talented team members for the upcoming Mega Campaign.

Things are progressing very well. Large maps have been done, scenarios have been completed and articles are being written as I write this.

It will be slightly different from your other mega campaigns but something I think you will enjoy even more.

Yes, Bill, we ARE working on the background articles, and some have been submitted. The Article Team is headed up by editor Alexandra Collins, and the writers are Wild Bill, Bernie Behling, Marc Bellizzi, Rory Gallagher, Neil Stalker and yours truly. The campaign is the thing, but we're filling in overviews on the actual historical events, the personalities involved, the forces and weapons represented, and providing more sources for study of the events the MC will be covering. This MC will hopefully be an educational tool as well as an absorbing game experience, and the best wargames, in this writer's opinion, have always succeeded at both. It's a tall order, and I hope we can pull it off. I'm grateful to Bill for inviting me to participate, and I feel honored (and a little intimidated) in being associated with this extraordinary array of talented individuals. My thanks to all of you. Glenn Higginbotham.

I also helped a bit in revamping the USMC OOB, but that's not necessarily a hint for the new MC theme. Herringbone twill, anyone ?

I know, I know! I know what the new MC is about. General Patton convinces SHAEF HQ to give him a division of airborne Marines after the Battle of the Bulge to airdrop onto Berlin to capture the Reichstag and the Fuhrerbunker and end the war! :D

Who ever heard of Marines needing a parachute? They simply land on their heads, and they'll be fine.

Now you are thinking "Wild Bill Style, " Prof. You are pretty close...WB

Shame on me!

I cut the names from a doc file and decided to omit one of my jobs and lo and behold I omitted the whole writing team!

Horrors! My apologies to all the team. That was a sorry-*** oversight on my part. Forgive me.

Here are the penmen for the upcoming Mega campaign, all talented folks!
