Description
Where did you get your interest in these games of history and strategy? I love the smell of printer's ink, and I love publishing. I've always been fascinated by magazine publishing and I used to read the statement of circulation in the October issue of American periodicals when I was a little kid.
I had an interest in the idea of historical games before I'd ever seen one. When I first saw the Milton Bradley series—Broadside, Battle Cry, Dogfight—when I saw these games I knew this was what I was looking for. At about the same age of 11, I was visiting my grandmother's apartment. Glancing at the bookcase I saw a small book that might be the right size for a kid, not many pages. I still remember the red leatherette cover. The book was "The Maxims of Napoleon." And I was completely fascinated from the first page.
I didn't discover the Avalon Hill games until a friend of mine brought out the game Bismarck. That was the first wargame I saw and that was o.k. But the game that got my attention was a game called Afrika Korps, published in 1964. This game belonged to a friend of that same friend, and he didn't want to play with me, so I didn't really get a chance to see it. Shortly after that I moved away. I think the Avalon Hill games were selling for $5 at that time. I was 14 years old, with no money, but somehow I found $5 to buy a copy of Afrika Korps.
