Hi,

The Schwerpunkt Challenge has been won!. The winner, who will be
sent a free copy of Schwerpunkt's latest computer game, Rostov,
is Allan Rothberg (arothberg@earthlink.net). Well done, Allan!
He correctly answered that the Germans can't bomb Rostov because
the air unit in Stalino is one hex too far to range the target.

The Grognards Challenge: Allan Rothberg was also the first of
the correct entrants to guess 'Target: Libya' in S&T 109. There
were a lot of incorrect guesses. This is Allan's third win and
the first win of two competitions at once on Web Grognards. A new
Challenge awaits!
