UPDATE: Web-Grognards, 22/9/96 From: Alan Poulter <alan@poulter.demon.co.uk> Date: Sun, 22 Sep 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Hi, We have another new team member at Web-Grognards. Kirk Spencer has joined as resident 'Indexer'. On the home page are a number of text files containing lists of articles in various hobby mags. Kirk will be turning these into HTMLised issue and contents indexes and 'article index' links following individual games. Check out the contents index for The General to see what will happen to all magazine indexes that we have. The 'Schwerpunkt Challenge', in which you can win Schwerpunkt's latest computer game, Rostov, still has not been won! People have come very close, by getting one question or the other right but not both :-( The competition continues... The Grognards Challenge: Douglas Dery was the first from a short list of entrants who guessed GDW's Road to the Rhine. I was strict in disallowing 'Across the Rhine', 'Over the Rhine' etc. A new Challenge awaits! A list of new links and files on Web-Grognards follows. For this list follow the 'Whats New - Latest Update' link from the Web-Grognards home page with your browser or go to:- http://grognard.com/960922.html IMPORTANT There is a large backlog of material: if you do not see your submission in the lists below it will be in the backlog :-( For access details for Web-Grognards see below.
