Imitation is the best form of flattery

I was reading my copy of "Computer Magazine" (the one I have gotten on permanent subscription since the General folded) and their review of Matrix Software Computer game entitled "Campaigns on the Danube: 1805 & 1809", an operational take on Napoleon's campaigns. Lo and behold, it states the "Danube is very reminiscent of Kevin Zucker's Napoleonic boardgame designs, and this is no coincidence since his 1809 game is mentioned in the credits"

So, there it is Kevin, you have got your name in a non-wargaming magazine. Maybe Maxim is next.

Darin,

Thanks for that info ... Is there an online version of "Computer Magazine?" Do you know the designer of the game?

Nico,

Thanks. The designer is Frank Hunter. His product is a labor of love.

I am sorry, Kevin, my typing is too fast. Its called "Computer Games Magazine" Its pretty commonly sold, but I don't know if there is an online version.

Darin-

The website is http://www.cgonline.com/

Didin't see the article in the list of articles for October though.

[Darin Leviloff]

As is typical with magazines, the article is in the "November" issue. Kevin, would you like me to mail a copy of the article to OSG ?

Hi Darin,

That is very kind of you, and I thank you. I'll try looking online in the November issue instead.

If I get a mention in Maxim, though, would you please let me know?
