titles. Rest in peace.

Saw this

Schani (op) and I have been playing turns every month for probably over 10 years by PBEM - works great. John Tiller's Campaign Series (West Front/East Front)

One of my favorite games on all times - West Front. Possibly for just the music alone

I still remember getting it from Hastings in Hutchinson KS after a dentist appointment - I'd guess over 20+ years ago. Brought home Sid Meier's Gettysburg at the same time.

They just don't make games like they used to.

Talon is correct - Blitz is a good place to look at for JT games

Okay Jeff I know you are busy with the kids baseball and other activities. You won 'Checkmate on Kakazu Ridge'. So your choice of scenarios you prairie baboon.
