In Memoriam Milo Minderbinder

Here’s this weeks updates so far:

  • Added TEM index pages up to TEM #71 – getting ahead of my own schedule
  • Added pages for the Grenadier and ETO as well, with potentially creating individual pages for issues, similar to the TEM pages, if can research enough information
  • Added more postings (and pictures) to Gregory Bartels Wavell’s War AAR. Obviously a work in progress, just like the TEM-pages
  • Created an Europa Modules page to better distinguish between Europa games and Europa modules, added a page for ¡No Pasaran! to it.
  • Reworked the pages for Balkan Front and A Winter War to improve layout and readability, added some images here and there.
  • Reordered post and media category trees to support the website expansion
  • Added Downloads – PDFs for the four Orders of Battle we have, and some for the Great War Ground rules. More to come.

In former times that would be enough updates to last me a whole month or longer… But there are some things I just want to finish up.
