Spammers have recently been sending under the 'kzucker@charm.net' address. Legitimate email from us will always mention 'OSG' in the subject area. If you receive a message from kzucker@charm.net look for 'OSG' in the subject area and discard if it says something you do not recognize.
We will never send any attachments without querying you first! And this month we are trying an experiment to post the OSG Report without sending an email notice. If this practice is successful that will mean one less email message in your In box!

The website is well designed and encourages browsing. The games look excellent; I feel like a kid waiting for 1809 to arrive in the mail! I also apprciate your posting the rules for CON and 1809 on the web. This is above and beyond the standard for wargame companies, and was a great factor in encouraging me to buy 1809 sight unseen. I am still digesting the changes in CON since last I played. You have obviously given great thought and care to the project, which is heartening. It is, I think, the most subtle and interesting system in all of board wargaming. I know many of my favorite games have been played with 1809, Bonaparte in Italy, and especially Struggle of Nations. This weekend, my son will play his first game in the series: Arcola, a splendid, if modest, start. His ambitious plan is to interface the miniatures he has painted with the CON games; we already have French and Asutrians enough for 1796. But first, he will have to endure the fear of hidden movement, and the frustration of command difficulties, something he did not encounter in other board games. It should be fun and, as they say, educational. Thank you again for the invitation. Hopefully I will see you at the next symposium.

For what it's worth, I would encourage your vendors to take the time they need to get all the components done correctly, efficiently and beautifully. I for one do not care exactly when 1809 is mailed, only that it looks its best whenever it is mailed. I know that you will get it out in a reasonable amount of time and don't care that any particular "deadline" be met.

Sincere congratulations for the CSR Hall of Fame you deserve 100 times.

Huge congratulations, sir, upon your induction into the Clausewitz Award Hall of Fame!! A well deserved recognition for all your years of outstanding labor in a field that offers little, I'm guessing, in terms of monetary reimbursement for all the time and energy expended. Your high quality games have helped illuminate what for me was an otherwise a dull and murky, though colorful, period of European history.
My new-found appreciation of early 19th century Euro history was sparked the historical notes included in each publication and by my efforts to master the historical subtleties of your designs. Thank you for all your attention to detail and your visual artistry!

The serie Days (the only one I know from you) is one of the best game system I've found in years. I thought that card driven games and point to point maps had defeated hexes, but I start to love again hexes and ZOCs ;-) A simple and elegant design for Napoleonics, good work!!
