UPDATE: Web-Grognards, 29/9/96 From: Alan Poulter <alan@poulter.demon.co.uk> Date: Sun, 29 Sep 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Hi, There will not be an Update next week. Next weekend I will be in Copenhagen, playing 'Samurai' against Erik Lawaetz, the Consim-L listowner. The 'Schwerpunkt Challenge', in which you can win Schwerpunkt's latest computer game, Rostov, still has not been won! The last Grognard Challenge game stumped everyone. The competition continues... The Grognards Challenge: Dick Vohlers was the first of a short list of entrants to guess 'Schutztruppe' by Jim Bumpas/Flying Buffalo. Dick has now won four Challenges, a feat only equalled by Robert Maglica and bettered by Randy Moorehead. A new Challenge awaits! A list of new links and files on Web-Grognards follows.
