COVER STORY
WHO REALLY STARTED WORLD WAR II?
The streets of our country are in turmoil.
The universities are filled wilh students rebelling
and rioting. Communists are seeking 10 destroy
our country. Yes, the republic is in danger from
within and without. We nced law and order.
Without it our nation cannot survive.
If YOll think that's a typical Spiro Agnew
commentary on what's happening today, be pre-
pared for a shock: it's an excerpt from a
campaign speech made in 1932 by one A. Hitler,
who went on to promise. "elect us and we
shall restor~ law and order. We shall by law and
order be respectcd among the nations of the
world."
On the strength of this promise. it is easy to
see why the infamous Third Reich came into
being with Hitler ascending as the sole master of
Gennany.

In this installment of the Avalon Hill Philos·
ophy we turn 'the podium over to one of our
oldest, iJnd certainly highest paid, "irregular"
employees. Jim Dunnigan has been working for
us since 1966, primarily designing games (includ-
ing JUTLAND, 1914, PANZERBLITZ AND
ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR 11). He has not been
idle in other areas. His ("incorrigible" as he pUIS
if) curiosiry has led him to poke inlO just iJbout
every facer of the game business, often to our
benefit for he has not been stingy with his iJdvice
and observations.
Jim is also the presidenr of the SimUlations
Publications Corporation, iJ New York firm which
he founded. Simulations. in addition 10 doing
considerable contract work for Avalon Hill and
other game publishers, also publishes Strategy &
Tactics magazine (among others). S&T is one of
the oldest, and certainly the most successful,
imitator of the General. In fact. they have done
the GeneriJl one better by publishing games right
in the magazine along with the history articfes,
etc., that comprise the rest of the magazine. Jim
also is the editor of S& T ('natch).
Jim CiJme to write this installment of the AH
Philosophy by way of a request. on our part. for
permission to re-print an article from Game
Design (another SimUlation's product) for the
General. About the same time Jim saw the
July·August issue of the General and, from our
vantage point, went through the ceiling at a few
of the things said in the last installment of the
Avalon Hill Philosophy. We stand corrected on
some of the things siJid, partly due to ignorance,
partly due 10 crossed wires. WhiJt with all the
information ffowing between Baltimore and New
York it's suprising that worse occurences don't
happen.
Specifically. the foilowing errors in faet oc-
curred. FL YING FORTRESS was withdrawn
from the Luftwaffe design competition before we
reached a decision on which game 10 publish.
This was done because Jim had reached the
conclusion (with which we stiff don't entirely
agree) that air games do not have sufficient
appeal. He iJlso wanted to re-work FL YING
FORTRESS but didn't have the time.
At this point Simulations had just completed
PANZERBLITZ and hiJd to beg off participating
in the production of our Spring '71 game
(LUFTWAFFE). Our interpretation of the results
of the 12 O'CLOCK HIGH/FL YING FORTRESS
tests were also a bit off. This is understandable 8S
Jim uses a computer and some other mathe-
matical mumbo·jumbo in interpreting his test
results and we're not always sure. after he's given
us a report who's on first.
The scoreboard. as we understand it now. is
supposed to read like this; using the popUlarity of
PANZERBLITZ (which scored highest on the
latest available survey) as 100, LUFTWAFFE
scores 76.1, FLYING FORTRESS 72. I and 12
O'CLOCK HIGH (Luftwaffe's predecessor) 66.9.
So in this case we were both right and wrong.
Also, it was pointed out to us that the seeming
inaccuracy in FL YING FORTRESS pertaining to
the use of B·29's. P·51H's and P·80's was clearly
marked as a 'What if?" scenario Order of Battle.
However, on the earliest (unpublished) prototypes
of the game this WiJS not made explicit. Again we
were right and wrong. Now that the truth has
been served we will turn the soap box over to
Jim.

the Designer's Notes column from GAME OE·
SIGN NO.3. Games you see mentioned in the
article that are unfiJmiliar to you (such as
KURSK. GRUNT, Tac 14, BARBAROSSA, etc)
were published by Simulations.
One may wonder. "Why all this innovation?"'.
Is it innovation for the sake of innovation? To a
certain extent, yes. A good game should be
simple enough to be played and understood
easily. This means that you can't have too much
"dirt" in it. "Dirt" being defined as the necessary
mechanics (read rules) to make the game go. Too
much dirt and there isn't much energy or
allention left for what the game is trying 10 "''1_
How does the game say what it's trying to say?
By allowing the players to "play" with it. But
you don't get much playing done if it takes ali
your energy and attention just to get the play·
thing going. Try to cover too much in one game
and you cover nothing. What this all boils down
to is the fact that you should build into the game
only the most important elements of the sitlla·
tion you are studying. Thus the game on the
Franco-Prussiao war should emphasize the fact
that two armies blundered into each other for
most of the "campaign." A series of errors and
chance engagements, so to speak. This was one of
the more important aspects of the campaign on a
strategic level. The armies blundered in a fashion
familiar to armies before the use of air reconnais-
sance. Without this one element you car'l't really
have a game that realistically r(f(;reates the cam-
paign. But this does not apply to all pre·air
r(f(;onnaissance campaigns. The Leipzig game, for
example, show> that the "cemral position" was
more important. Particularly in view of Napo-
leon's superior use of what reconnaissance then
available to him. This, however. was unique to
campaigns conducted by Napoleon. The American
Civil War had no Napoleon. Most campaigns were
of the "blunder" type.
Can you see it now? Concentrate on the most
important aspectls) of the situation. Do it well,
To do it well you often have to create new ways
of doing it. Looking at things this way. game·
simulations have gone through three distinct
phases so far. When this type of game was first
developed in the mid-'50's the emphasis was on
re-creation of modern "semi-strategic" (divisionail
level simulations. With few exceptions this "rut"
continued right up until 1914. The sole excep·
tions being the naval games (MIDWAY and
BISMARCK) which. of course, required a dif-
ferent approach. JUTLAND and 1914 were hints
of another solution, in my mind an incorrect one.
Bigger does not mean better. ANZID proved this.
ANZIO was supposed to be the "compromise"
game between the unwieldiness of 1914 (although
it's strong historical "realism" was considered.
with some validity, to be a positive feature) and
the popular "playable" simplicity of BATTLE OF
THE BULGE, STALINGRAD and D-DAY. It
didn't work. ANZIO will no longer be available
once the current inventory is sold. JUTLAND
will also be dropped, as will the other naval
games. through no fault of their own, of course.
Naval games simply don't sell. GUADAlCANAl
will also go. This was a game that went out of its
way to ignore those elements of the campaign
which were most important lmainly naval and
air!. Earlier games, for all their crudeness, were at
least simple. Often they did not zero in on the
critical aspects of the situation they covered. But
PAGE 3
they were simple enough lor most playel'"s to
handle. Al'Id their simplicity allowed what
elements of the campaign that were $hown to be
IKplored. An outstanding example of lhis is the
initi.l force inbalance and later weaker side build
up in BATILE OF THE BULGE and STALIN·
GRAD. O-DAY also has it to II tef"tain extent,
except thaI the anacker was initially weaker. The
fim "wINe" of games lending with JUTLAND)
showed too many people that a much bettll'r job
could be done. The reasoos why Avalon Hill did
nol $Clive the problem and why they did do whet
they did are the subject of a future article. Such
matte", don', really conrern us here. The 1914
"solution" was less a solution than it was 8 probe
in the dif'ection of i1lternatives.. Out 01 the
1914/ANZIO debacle came the realization that
each game must be a unique problem with unique
$Olutions. Thus came the "third" wave, mainly
the Test Series and 5&1 games (including
PANZERBLITZj, Each game attempted to treat
its own problems with unique solutions. At
present this seems to be the "solution." At least
until something better comes down the pike.
Which will probably happen.
Taking these games as the current "state of the
art" they can be easily understood by simply
applying the "uniquenl!S$" principle to whatev~
game yoo are doing. This does not mean that
every game must be as simple as, $Hy GRUNT,
Avalon Uilrs br.llnd new game - ORIGINS OF

ORIGINS is probably the most authentic historie--
al documentation of the pre-war yean e"a"
published, That's because over 100 dirre~nt
works were consulted in the preparation of this
brilliant expose of who really started World War
II.
And if you think Gennany started the war,
wrong again, France, Britain, Russia, and the
United Stales could have stopped Germany be-
fore the shooting began. Why didn't they?
Playing ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR II one
finds out. The game re-creates the political
ballkfield as it existed between 1935 and 1940.
It is a 2 to 5 player game with each player taking
the part of the diplomats of the major powers,
anned with the same diplomatic muscle of his
~al life courllerpart.
The game-set includes five scenarios of varying
political objectives. For discussion, here, we refer
to the HISTORICAL GAME in which S partici-
pants represent the nation:s of Great Britain,
Fr.llnce, Germany, Russia and the United States.

KURSK or TAC 14. A large minority of game
players lbut still a minority, we KNOW thaI)
desire more comple>e "muscle" games las we call
them), . culTent eumple is WAR IN THE
EAST. ~ut for all iu comple>eity it still concen·
trates on those aspects of the ClImpaign that were
most important. Ther-e is no "dirt" for the sake
of "din.." At the same time the game is struc·
tured so that as the more comp!e>e YefSions are
played the game merely gains in realism ....ithout
changing into a "diff~ent" game.
All the foregoing was a roundabout way of
driving home the point that, for a game to do
"""at it's supposed to do, it must use unique rules
and othe..- design features in order to get iu
message across. This presupposes, of course, a
fairly set idea about ....hat the "ideal" game
should be. Stated briefly, my idea of the "ideal"
game is one that is fairly ea$y to pley IKURSK
and 1940 are about right, I feell and place major
emphasis on the most important aspects of the
campaign (at least as far as the designer is
concerned]. These two games fit the bill, I feel,
Even though KURSK and 1940 use essentially
the same play mechanics. This, of course, is nOi
as contradictory as it may appear. Both games
covered campaigns having both motorized and
non·motorized units, with air power, The seale
was about the $Hrne, each he>e in 1940 equalled
13 kms, in KURSK 16 kms (identical to the
1914 seale). Each game used two day moves.
There WERE differences, however. The French
army had a psychological problem the Russian
army had already gotten owr, The G~man army
was basically the same. In 1940 the Germans
haIIl! the edge, in KURSK the Russians do. 1940
emphasizes the German need to destroy the
French army as an effective force. In KURSK
they must do the same, although because only
4O'Jl, of the eastern front forces are in\IQ1ved in
KURSK (compared to 90% in 1940) an absolute
decision is not possible, or at least difficult to
obtain. More difficult than in 1940.
The question nO\Y arises, how does one iSOlate
the "key'"' problems in a situation so that they
may be incorporeted into a game. This is .... here
Ihe skills normally listed under the job classifica·
tion "Historian" come into play, This point has
probably been belabored much too often, It is
true, though, you must be able to do your
homewoli<. A "bad" game, in this respect, will
not look bad taken by itself. But compare it to a
game on the $Hme subject done with allention to
the historical particulars and the "non,
researched" game usually comes out a decidedly
second best. A few eKampl~ of this eK;st.
BARBAROSSA and STALlNGRAD both cover
the same situation, Yet few people wilt insist that
STALINGRAD is a beller game, Of course,
BARBAROSSA has the advantage of belief play
mechanics, But these were developed BECAUSE
of ....hat research of the siluation revealed. An·
other e>eample is BATTLE OF THE BULGE and
BASTOGNE. In this case BULGE has the better
play mechanics lor simpler, at least). Still,
BASTOGNE is clearly superior as an accurate
re-creation of the campaign.
Learning how to do hislorical research is
another project unto iUllllf. It's not really all that
complicated, although it becomes easier to do
and mon! productive the 10rl9tr yoo're at it. This
certainly does not disqualify amateurs. but you've
got 10 stan somewhere, I started late, not getting
into military history and "scierlCE!" (there's Quite
a lot of the technical Sluff 10 be mastered) until I
was lB, and in the army, I didn't really get
around to DOING anything with all that acquired
trivia until I was 22 years old, when I wrote the
ARDENNES OFFENSIVE monograph (which
also got me the job 01 designing JUTLAND).
Still. it took some 500 hours of research to do
THE GENERAL
JUTLAND, If you are willing to spend the time
on it you can research backgrouncls for some
game situations in a hundred hoors or less,
depending on your previous e>eperience with the
subtee;1 and material related to it. Once your data
is ISRITlbled yoo have to "play" with it, This is
what is usually construed of as "designing." This
is also where you should convert the salient
points of yoor researeh into game mechanics. Or,
rathe..-, into the important "aspects" of the game.
All is not said in the game's rnec:hanics. Such
things as the seale and scope of the game, not,
strictly speaking, mechanics, must be made to
reflect the "points" you wish to emphasize in the
game. This is important. I have mentioned before
the importance of knowing what yoo want to say
in the game, and then trying to say it, Anyone
who tries to create a true "simulation" of an
event is chasing after the "Holy Greil." There are
tOO many limitations inherent in the "board
game" format. Take a game which did try to do
the impossible, 1914. Very realistic in its way,
but how close did it REALLY come to "simula·
tion?" What it gained in "realism" (not necessar·
ily the same as "simulation") was not equal to
what was lost in playability. And, as had been
$Hid many times before, if a 101 of people cannol
play the game all that you have put into it is lost
to a great number of people, As ye sow, so shall
ye reap.
Therefore, e>ecept for games ....ith preny much
identical situatiOns, yoo ....ill have to develop
fairly unique elements for each diff~ent game.
Again, KURSK and 1940 are about as close as
you're going to come in the way of "identical"
gam&S. And even then there are many very
significant differences. The question, now, is
e>eactly how' does one build in these "unique
elements?" Let's take 1940 and KURSK as
examples lthis way we e>eamine two games in
about the amount of time it takes to do one
game), Of course, one of the "unique features"
of bOlh 1940 and KURSK was the "man for
man" superiority of the Germans over their
enemies, Part of this could be seen in the number
of weapons each side's units had. The Germans
were simply more heavily armed. This advantage
tends to snowball. Ta.::tiC$ is important, German
tactics was often superior. Sut this was not the
chief German advantage. The main German
advantage lay in all the "lillie" advantages they
had. Deciding just how large their "advantage"
was has to be done in conjunction with Combat
ReSUlts Table construction, The CRT will show,
in practice, what effect the German advantage
has, There are two approaches to the CRT
problem, bolh of which are usually combined
before yoo are finished. The first method is to
take the "standard" casualty rates for the period
(compiled, usually, from official sources, such as
staff officer's manuals for the modern period).
This sometimes works the first time around, but
not usually, Moreoften you have to go to the
secood method. This entails compiling casualty
figures for the battle itself. In France 1940 the
banle was, compared to KURSK, somewhat less
bloody. More uniU INCte destroyed due to isola-
tion than to violent combat. In KURSK OUt and
oot butchery was more the rule. The CRT's, of
course, had a game that changes considerably
from situation to siruation, Even within the same
game, as was the case with KURSK. AU this, of
course, is just scratching the surface. In future
columns we will eKplore many game elemenu in
more detail. For now, you ought to reflect on
what was said this time. Reflection, as much as
persistent physical effort, is responsible for bring·
ing a game from one's mind to reality,

Discussion: Because of the fact that (he KR is
constant for a wide range of values, an extremely
powerful result can be derived that was not
immediately foreseen. Luftwaffe behaves in a
manner that mathematicians describe as a differ-
ential game. The equations are beyond the scope
of this article and, it is interesting to note,
Luftwaffe only approximates the situation [hat
the equations describe exactly. The concept can
best be illustrated by an example.
Assume 16 factors of FW- [90's jump 3 forma-
tion of 24 B-24 factors. Because the KR of the
FW·190 is 0.50. we know it will kill 8 factors on
lIs lirsl tum. The B·24 KR is 0.25 so they will
gel 6 factors on their first turn. Subtracting we
have 10 FW-190's and 16 B-24's for the second
turn. The 10 FW·19Q's get 58-24's and the 16
a-.24's get 4 FW-I9{l's. Now the new levels are 6
FW-I9{l's and II B24's. If the attack is pressed
for another turn, we will have 011 the average one
FW-I90 factor and eight B-24 factors at the end
of 4 turns of attack.
Once this technique is grasped, the outcome
for an air battle can be automatically determined.
You can tell, before you commit your fighters.
the probable outcome and how long it will take.
11 will be instructive to do another example.
If 26 FW-190's altack 24 B-24's, the new levels
will be: 20 fighters and 11 bombers for the
second turn, and 17 fighters and one bomber
factor for the third turn. Remember, these are
average results and statistical deviations will
occur.
If can be seen from the examples that when
sizable formations are encountered, the German
can use every fighter he can get. Not because
larger numbers increase combat effectiveness, but
to insure enough fighters will survive bomber
defensive ftre. As was demonstrated, a difference
of 10 factors means a quick victory or a bad
defeat. German players, ALWAYS break off

Thesis
by Tom Hazlell
AXIS FORCES: Though the Axis army does
not consist of as many pieces as the Allied Army,
it nearly always has more factors on board. The
armored units can be concentrated into a very
powerful force which can smash any Allied
position. Besides being stronger, the Gennan units
are much faster than either the Italians or the
Allies. Their speed. enables them to penetJ1l,te
deep behind the British line$, forcing them to
surrender \1151 amounts of territory without a
fight. Because of their many abilities, German
units should be s.lVcd when possible. even at the
cost of losing Italians.
The Italian units, though slow and weak, are
valuable as garrison and sook-<lff forces. They can
add needed facton to a crocial attack. Heavy
Italian losses makes formalion of a line very
difficult, thus expo$ing the German armor to
possible encirclement. Since the Axis Army can't
really afford any 1o$SCS, it should avoid battles at
less than 5·1 eltcept where necessary, as at
Tobruch.
AXIS A7TACK: To define the German
problcm is very simple: drive the British into
Tobruch and take it or Aleltandria by November.
Failure to do so will probably result in an Allied
break-<lut since the Germans will be hard·pressed
10 defend both areas. As the Germans you have
neither the men nor the supplies to stop and slua
it out with the British for every position, so you
musl tak.e each line by out-maneuverina the
Allies, living him an option or withdrawina or
becoming surrounded. A position taken without a
fight should be considered a greater victory than
a D Elim at )·1 against the same place. The
following April I move is Siubjected to analysis
and suggested with the above in mind:
Trenta - W) The garrisoning of the homebase
is necessary if you want to reeei\'e supplies and
reinforcements.
21/3 - NI9 This unit prevents the British
from blocking the 019 pass and is ready to move
either north or south with the rest of the
division.
21/5 - Nl7 and 21/104 - Nl6 These are in
position either to strike at the escarpment line or
to move to the soulhern escarpment. They also

Bo[ogna can join the rest of the Italians in
advancing down the road as far as possible. If the
21st division can join Ariete in :1 4-1 attack. the
other Italians will prevent isolation and the
escarpment line could fall a turn early. A safer
move which is just as good is 10 send the armor

either go with the 21st Division or wait a tum to
assisl the 15th. Some people will argue that this
move leaves tht' center open for the Allies to
send a unit to menace your supply lines. It is my
contention that the British will need every factor
they have for defcnsc. At least fOllr factors llIuSt

this point.
May I - The 15th Division should head for
Mechili to join the Italians, who this turn move
to block the central desert against British raids.
The armor should continue eastward. R29 is a
good Siquare. The recce unit should also move

however, so slill avoid combat whenever possible.
When you do attack. space Ihe auack a couple of
turn aparl so you give yourself a chance to gel
the supply back and mov~ it back towards the
action. Keep units on the el,st-wesl escarpment to
threaten both sides. Recce units in the desert can
threaten to cut off the Allies, especially if
supported by armor. Automatic victory is our
most potent weapon. Usilll it you may be able to
break through a weak SPOI and isolate the entire
All~d Army. Try not to let the British slip
behind your lines.. If :lOme do. you will have to
form a line across the board to isolate them. A
good British commander will be able to keep a
force intaci and fonn a line anchored on
Ruweisat or Alam HaIfa that you can't outflank.
Providing you have the supplies, and you should
have, a couple of altacks on the massed 1-1-6's
should complete the disintegtlltion of the enemy
and you can walk inlO Alell.andria. You then have
plenty of time to take Tobrueh. The British will
run o"t of ,nen long before you do. unless you
roll nothing but 2's.
If, in July. Ihe Allies have lost 2/3 and a
couple of 2-2-.6's you probably want to go after
Tobruk. Hit the slrongest unit at least 3-1 and
saak-off with an Italian. Make sure there are
enough Italians in the 3·1 so you can lose them
,n an uchange_ You don't have 'iO many units
, that you can afford to lose an extra one through
carelessness. AI'iO. make sure thaI British forces in
Egypt can't 5tIcak through and Clpture a supply
or isolate your army. After Ihree or four attacks
Ihe British will have only 1-1-6's in Tobruch, If
you have 18 factors left, you're in. If you have
less than 18 lefl, suggeSI a game of Bismllrck. The
turn you're ~re to capture Tobruch, move your
homeba:se garrison. If you then think you're
slrons enough 10 take A1ell.an(lria, charge! In Ihe
far more likely event Ihat yOl,r army has been
shaltered by the siege, relall., bllild up supplies
and reinforcements, allack just often enough to
keep tile enemy off balance, and, along aboul
February, head' for Alexandria. Al Ihis poinl even
Mussolini would have a 10uSh lime losing.
In Iheir hinls on str:alcgy Avalon Hill mentIOns
something about a prrison at Bengazi. This idea
is ridiculous! A unil wasled therc will be dearly
missed al the scene of action.
To summarize, while the threat of isolalion is
nol as strong as il once wa.s, il still exists. Avoid
billies whenever possible, especially at Ie. Ihan
Sol. Either Tobruch or Tripoli must fall by
November. Pick one and stay with it.
ALLIED fYJRCl::S Like the Gennans in
D-Day, the AlI,es have a lot of pieces but lew of
them are worth much. The 1-1-12'5 are useful in
disrupting All.is supply lines since they are the
only ones that can malch lhe German speed. bUl
two of them can't pose a real threat. The few
strong units on tile board the first summer
usually sit in Tobruch, leaving l-I-6'~ and maybe
a few 2-2.0'5 to contain the Gennans. Abollt all
they can do is try 10 delay the Germans and
disrupt their wpply lines. Though an upensive
tactic, a double TOW of 1-1-6'5 will slop Ihe
strongesl ~rman drives. since Ihe back row can'l
be attacked in strenglh. The British can'l mass
enough factots for an anack until Ihey receive
their November rcinforeemenlS. Even then they
should try to conserve every piece since they
ha>'e a long wait for their nexl reinforcements.
Nol until he is permilted 10 use the substilute
counters lale in Ihe game can the Allied com-
mander even dream of winning a pitched bailie
with Ihe Germans.
BRITISH DEFl::NSJ::: If through some mirncle
lhe Allies can hold on to Alexandria and Tobruch
until November, they have practically won the
lIame. The November reinforcements will, al the
very least, halt the All.is advance and sJtould be
able to retake some territory. Anyhow, Ihey
should enable the Allies to hold lheir ground
unlil March when the 3 to I replaccment r:atio
will wear the Axis into Ihe ground. If the
Germans do capture one or Ihe objectIVes, the
situation is not hopeless, but il is tougher,
especially with the new rule interprctations. Still_
while isolating a unit probably won't kill it, the
Germans must waste supplies and lime to free it.
Also, they can't use ClptUred supply units to
sustain an automatic victory if Ihere are no
supply units to caplure. Keep all supplies in
Tobruch and Alexandria. If they sneak inlo one
of those places, Ihe game is over anyway. You
must make him fight for every gain.
April I - Move all 1-1-6's out 10 sca. Don'l
leave one at Alell.andria, If it is Ihreatencd you
can move a force back in plenty of lime. Bring in
a supply al Tobruch and scnd it east. II will
garrison the Homebase in May. Many line-ups,
differing only slightly, have been suaested for
the escarpment. Mine is: 22 Gds,
G 18,213 -Hl7, 9A/20 -K 18, 7/3IMtr. -L19. Many
people attack oul with 2/25«- Oflen, I prefer nOI
to, since if the ~ltack is unsuccessful. 12 Italian
factors will face the escarpment line on May I
inSlead of 8. That could be Ihe difference
belween a S-I and a 4-1 on a 1-1-6 on Ihe
escarpmcnt. If successful the attack will delay
two Italian units for an extra turn, but Ihey
aren't badly needed on May II ~nyw;,y, The
threat of lh<- I Sth Division is enough to force a
wilhdrawal from the escarpment.
April II the 1·1-6'5 should be deployed to
the south to block any Germans on the soulhern
escarpments. The weSlern escarpment lines should
be held another turn. If the 21 st Division is out
of range and only 8 Italian faclOrs are in the
arca, you can replace the 2-2-.6·s with 1-1-.6's. The
2-2-6's are Ihen freed for olher duties.. If you'rc
feeling adventuresome you can e>'en send one
west. However, it would be beller 10 send a
1-1.0.
THE GENERAL
May I Slaying in the S3me defenscs another
tum would be disastrous. In Ihe west Ihe I Sth
Div_ and the llalians could leI an automalic
victory on the escarpment line and CUI off most
of the anny from Tobrueh. In Ihe south, where
Ihe 21st Division has stretched the lines very
thin, and automatic .i<;lu,y might be pos«Jble
also. The lime has therefore come to withdr:aw to
Ihe heights around Tobruch. Of course, 1-1-.6'
should be len in the W<-Slern passes to make the
llalians wasIl' time aod supplies 10 eliminate
them. Units should also be scnl 10 llro{<-et the
J34 pass. A careful watch definilely should be
kept on the 21s1 Division. If it is ncar the
Egyptian border, scnd some units out to :sea to

When the retl'l'al is made into Tobruch itsclf.

attacking. unless of courne, the German is wilh-
out supply. If you Cln't safely ICI a 3-1, a 1-2 is
the best type of attack. I'm speaking of a
situation wherein a strong German force is driving
on a smaller Allied force. Of coune, if you
outnumber the Axis and can launch a sustained
offensive, go ahead.
When thosc inlprcssive November rcinforc<:--

may have to retreal from Egypt. If a 1-3 isn't
IJ'05Sible, Iry a 1-2 10 push the Ilalians back.
In conclusion. Afrika Korps is a game of
maneuver, more so than any Olher Avalon Hill
game. Because of the small ~rmies and unu~al
supply rules. one misplaced unil can snatch
defeat from Ihe jaws of victory.

edge that Ihis unit was "airborne" in name only.
The lack of any historical documentation would
make any late-war air assault seem not only
unrealistic but totally absurd.
Being a paratrooper myself and determined to
"jump" into Situation 13, I began researching the
famed "Ilerrnann GOring" Division for visible
evidence to back up my plans. An almost
unknown SOUfce suddenly made the whole enter-
prise nol merely feasible but very pl1lctical as
well. The Department of Army Historical Division
MS No. 8-628, An Airborne Panzer Corps. by
Gen. Lt. Schmalz (unclassified Jan. 1954) was
uncovered al Fort Benning. In this brief sludy
GellC:ntl Schmal:t explained lhat the Fallschirm-
Panter Division "Hermann GOring" was in fact
planned as a force capable of conducti", an air
a!l¥ault. Accordingly its members were 10 be
Intined as pafllchulists and the division's huV)'
equipment (Ianks, artillery, elc.) prepared for
PUJiNED ORGANIZAttoll OF
transport in "Iarge planes.'· For a number of
reasons this project was dissolved. not the least
being Ihe facl thai inadequate gasoline supplies
were available for the required training.
Howewr, though the manuscript is very general
and perhaps 100 optimistic, General Schmalz did
include two vital pieces of information; a landing
schedule and proposed organization chan. Unfor-
tunately the chart was very simplified, but oon-
sultation with that priceless reference, TM-E
3Q-4S I, Handbook on GermalJ MiiNary Forces,
provided a fairly detailed analysis of whal might
have been.
My organization chart has been listed in
"counter format" so one can readily assemble il
with his Panzerblitz pieces (though the Nebel-
werfer counlers would have to be composed as
they are not available in the game).
For those interested in the basis for my chart I
must admit making modifications 10 GellC:ral
Schmalz' plan, but I confined Ihese to reasonable
interpretations of his orpnizational vieW:l. He
dl"Sired an airborne division composed of six
regiments; three airborne rifle, one flak, one
ar1iUery (to be comprised entirely of rocket
projectors), and one armored. My chan clearly
shows the rifle regimental orpniz.ations of ItIm:
rifle and one Panzer..grenadier ballalions each.
nu: PARi.Cf\Un; PANZER DIVI~ION "I1EP.KAl'Rl OORlNG"
The Panzer regimenl, according 10 General
Schmalz, would have been oomposed of four
"Panther" tank ballalions. [ tempered this
scheme wilh one reflecting (in my opinion) I
more probable organiz~lion as of lale 1944; that
is. consisting of two "Panther" battalions. one
"Tiger I" battalion, and one "Tiger 11" banalion.
Since General Schmalz specifically stated that the
parachute artillery regiment would be completely
replaced with rocket projectors. I copied a rocket
projector regiment right out ofTM·E JQ-4Sl. All
battalion organi~.ations and so forth were derived
from this source as well and rencet accurately
German TOE calc"lations.
Now that I have explained the organizalion of
such a division let us study its proposed air
assault procedure. According to Gener.tl Schmalz,
the first wave was the only actual one to
parachute in, as the following five waves would
be airlanded. The first wave would include all
airborne qualified personnel and equipment.
Turning to my orpniz.alion chart allow all rine.
submachinqun, mortar, and engineer units an
airborne capability. The Division and Rifle regi-
ment CP$ may also jump. However. no members
of the Engineer Banalion or the Panzer-Grenadier
ballalions should lake part in the fint (para-
chute) wave.

The Organized Wargamer

by R. C. Reed - Staff
The response to the laSI installment of the
Organized Wargamer was so bountiful that we
had to skip an issue to get the infommtion
organited in some sort of coherent order. [ had
asked for $Uggestions for sorting and separating
unit countcn; in the previous column and pre-
sented here are some of Ihe best and most
representative suggestions.

Another, the best I think, is to use stamp

complete set of Panzerblitz counters. but this is
also good for uny game with a large number of
pieces such as J9J4 or Allz/o. This is also good
for games with step reduction to keep tnck of
the various sleps .. _..
J. P. Hope of Arlington, Vi~nia says that '·1
have found that 'Diamond Safety Matches' make
excellent counter conlainen. The plastic tny in
Pallurblitz will hold Ihirty_two of IJicse bolCe5
and game sel-up is much quicker using labelled
boltes. The entire game can be stored in its
original container without additional space re-
quired for tackle bolCes, ice cube trays, etc. These
bolCes come in packages of eight each und sell for
II cents per pa~kage. One problem [ have found
in converling eleven games, being a non-smoker
and having an eleclric stove, is lhal there is a
areat surplus of matches in my ap<lrtment .....
A simple solution, offered by W. K. Moro of
Sparwood, British Columbia, is to "orpnize
counters by amxing a piece of hard cardboard to
tile back of the troop counter card and making a
tape hinge to anotller hard cardboard slleet for
tile front; one can keep the counters In their
position as per the new games simply by using a
paper clip on Ihe opcn end."
Another residenl of British Columbia. Gr1lham
F. Lucknoll (rom Victoria wriles of his gaming
goup: "We have developed a syslem (sample
enclosed): place phOlocraph comer mounts on
sheets of paper or cardboard in any Order of
Ballle. These corner mounts provide neat pockets
which hold tile units in place under most condi-
tions. Each comer can he marked to indicate
which unit it is for."' This seems to be one of the
quickest and simplest melhods reported.
Finally, we reproduce in its entirety an article
from Bill Freeman of Concord, Mass. Bill has
presenled a ·how-tO'do--it' Ihesis for thoge readers
who require a method presented in specific
detail:

(easily made by forming a ball of excess, dry

simillr size (as in Panzerblitl:) may be Slacked
after being set-up in fJgUre A. For unequal sheets
of similar size, the laTler sheels go to the bottom.
In special cases separate kits can or may have 10
be made to accOmodate dissimilar oounter sheets.

Fiaure C: two additional posterboard sheets are

areas of the tapes extending are "slicky" and the
white ends are where the tape has been folded

straps as well as the binding are removed during
the game, leaving only the posterboard-backed
oounler sheets. Of oourse. the arrangement of
units within the counter frames should follow
either a ··play" or ··PB.\l·' set-up, depending on
how the counters are 10 be used.~

gamers are doing to diminish an annoying prob-
The nexl question I would like to ask the
readenhip is whal tricks do you have for facili-
lating the actual progress of play in games like
Allzio, /9/4, and those olher games where
constant referral to the rule book is necessary to
keep track of ranges, distances to objectives etc.
This problem is especially acute in Anzio, an<\
Luftwaffe, and to a lesser extent, Pallurblitz and
GlladalcanaJ. This is a wide open question. As un

CONTEST NO. 44 was a bit of a "bummltr:" II
seems .5 jf some~e between the rough draft
and the lin<ll printed vtnion the words "with
,,-,pply No.2" _re deleted after "15th Pan~..
Division ilt M5US •.." Obviously. this made quite
a part 01 the contest obsaJre. Disastll" was
lYOided. however, because enough 01 our reader5
are acute enough to see through these difficulties.
Below is the correct ilnswer assuming the "with
$Upply NO.2" had been included (which quit. a
number of our oontl!$tants assumed anyway);
Attacks ill 3·' on 4/5 and 9AllO means thai
Tobruch can only be defended by two 1·1·6'$
which can easily be overcome on the next
German attack. This contest illustrates iI common
weakness found in bad "Tobruch tactics." The
British disposition looks relatively strong bel:ause
of the interlocking positioning of the light units.
But the final purpose of ilny tactics should be to
bottonup the heavy units the turn before the
Juoo reinforcemenlS. The aforementioned German
allack precludes this. The !}arne is all but over
after this point.
SEVERAL SCORES OF CONTESTANTS sub·
milted Ihe winning solution and from thew •
random dl1lWing was held to pick the ten win·
ners. They are: L. R. Mi:Anemy, SilYe<" Spring,

THE MSC put together anolhef successful con·
Vl!fItion in MilCon III which was held July 10-11
at 51. John's, Jamaica, New York. Total atten-
dance for the IWO day evenl was almoSl 350.
Eye-witness accounts Silid the displays and tour·
naments irwolving minialures was truly impres-
sive. The AH diYision tourny was the largest on
the East Com. It was, of course, no surprise to
learn that AH staff member and convention
representative, Randy Reed, won first prize in the
AH diYision. The convention was so successful
that plans were immediately made to hold
another convention in mid·winter. But the MSC
leadership is undedded as to whether Christmas
or the end of January is the most convenient
time 10 hold this new get·together. If you have
an opinion or preference drop MSC a I;ne at
89·67 Hollis Ct. Blvd., Queens Village, NY
11427.
LEN LAKOFKA writes: "The first Mount
Prospect convention is now history. Ninety war-
gamers enjoyed the one day convention which
featured a twenty player OlWal competition, A
Napoleonic "Little Wllf"S" series of battles and
other miniatures battles." Over $100.00 worth of
prizes and trophies were awarded at this firsl
(hopefully) annual affair. The firsl annual
"Gateway-to-the-West" convention was held in St.
Louis on July 17. The IFW featured a nu~ of
AH games and armor miniature lou'mies which
netted the winners over $150.00 in prizes and
Irophies. The seventy·f~ garners who attended,
look lorward to nexI year's event tentatively
slaled for the third or founh weekend in July.
Reponing on Ihe 41h Annual Lake Geneva
Convention, Lakofka related, "the two day event
greeted 241 games on Saturday and 157 addi-
tional on Sunday plus unnumbered visitors who
came to gape. Over 5300 in prizes were
awarded." In 1972, the convention has grown to
the extent where two halls will be used at Lake
Geneva, along with more evants and larger cash
prizes.

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT to our attention, with
some partisan delight no doubt, that Interest
Group 8allimore wargamers have been cornering
the markel on EaS! Coast Convenlion tournament

S & T MAGAZINE, in issue No. 28, once again
shows that il is the best bargain for the Simula·
tions Gamer. 115 literary subject matter broadens
wilh every issue; from the very line "Saviel and
German Weapons & Tactics" article by James F.
Dunnigan to one on "The Dark Ages Mililary
Systems Profile:' by Stephen B. Patrick. A
re·review of luftwaffe is included in lhis issue
also. Their earlier review resulted from "crossed·
wires" in that it was prepared without the benefit
of the correct set of rules. S & T apologized for
this mis·assumption aOO will see to it that it
doesn't happen again.
WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED that the National
Invitational TO'urnament has begun its recruil-
ment ea~aign. Any wargarner inten!S!ed in a
new type 01 tournament play should look into
the N.I.T. All entrants rate themselves and then
are matchecl with opponents of equal ability.
Entrants play six games in each toumy; write Tim
Fox, 58 Cutler, Grand Rapids, Mich. 49507.

successful" in getting those points acrcm. A fellow
