Anyone who has been playing wargames for any length of time knows who Ian Trout is, and SSG games. Today is a sad day, indeed.

Wow..

I remember those early games and also the Run 5 magazine. Tremendous work in the industry and they came out with some wonderful games.

RIP.

That's sad to hear! I was a great fan of the original Carriers at War, we used to make campaigns for it.
