Hi,

Please take the time to vote for the 1997 Charles S. Robert Awards.
See the page at:- http://grognard.com/csr.html

Still no winner for the 4CDs Challenge, sponsored by 4CDs Strategy
and Wargame Shop, offering a free copy of Talonsoft's East Front.
To win you must correctly answer both the following questions:-

* Q1: The following quote comes from the manual of a classic
     computer wargame:-

'"Give 'em hell boys!", he shouted. His corps commander was
     handicapped in this regard by being the Bishop of Louisiana
     but he was equal to the occasion.'

What is the name of the game, what company produced it and who
     designed it?

* Q2: What are the title and publisher of the current Grognard
     Challenge game? This you have to recognise from scans of two
     map sections and two sets of units on the Web-Grognards homepage.

1. Only one entry is allowed per entrant. Subsequent entries
     submitted by any entrant will be ineligible.
