Just a correction of minor bits and pieces, basically I’ve included some more sophisticated Disclaimers.
The guy who owns the german domain name of generalstab.de declined my offer to buy the adress from hin, despite the fact he’s not using it anyway, and despite the fact that he used to have several other sites presenting the same content. Exact what I was expecting from people wich historical ideas that heavily lean towards revisionism and other absurdities of the human mind I’m to polite to name here.
Hasta la victoria sempre! I’ll wait, then.

I agree, its been a while since you’ve heard from me. I hope to dig out two new game reports in the future, as well as to revive some of the Generalstan-members, who’ve seem to be busy on other fronts as well. Most of you may have witnessed the great strife on Lysator, for you others out there, the short form: After the attacks on WTC on the 11th Sep. a big political discussion broke out on the Europa-mailing list at Lysator (europa@lysator.liu.se). After some weeks the designers of GRD and a lot of people who were sick of arguing back and forth about stuff that had nothing to do with Europa or gaming went to create a moderated mailing list based at Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EuropaAssociation/). I went over to Yahoo as well, and as I found 30+ mails a day enough for me, after three years it was: bye, bye, Lysator. Thanks again for all the good times there, but it was enogh for my for now.
News from the Military Database (MHDB): The database is up and running, the edit-mask is in its alpha-version and some of the scripts already work. I’m still learnung, however. I hope to be able to present a working edit-mask until June, and until September we might actually see some pages here generated by the MHDB.
Haven’t heard from my comrades for a while, but there was little to do anyway. I guess the university holidays in the states take their toll. Anyway, David Stokes has finished his game of “For Whom The Bell Tolls”, the Analysis is still missing but to follow soon.
Looks like everyone went into the summer break, a strange behaviour as the best time of the year to conduct any campaign comes closer. So few news this time, basically a few errors fixed and the game reports updated. Off to the Beach!
So I got at least a bit done today, although its mainly corrections, additions and some more turns of David Stokes “FWTBT”-Report which is taking definitly an interesting turn. Moons CV (europa-CV of course) is online now as well, so you can take a look at all the Generalstab-Members in the Zentralabteilung.
Sorry, but today there’s not more to report as more updates from different game reports, the most notable peeing the end of Fred Helferichs “War of Resistcane”. I returned from vacation just yesterday and have to catch up a bit.
Okay, so it didn’t quite work out with weekly updates yet, but I had a lot of new things online last week without announcing them, so its gonna be okay I guess. Three main points: We’ve got the CVs of most of the Generalstab-members in the Zentralabteiluung now, so you can see a little bit of who’s-doing-what in here.
Second we’re continuing the game reports of course, alas for those of you subscribed to Lysator this may merely be an archive here.
Last we got two Europa-Howtos in the Kriegsschule, the first by A.E. Goodwin discussing the invasion of Denmark , the Second one on how to connect WitD and SF. Have fun.
Today we’ve got some news coming from Spain, David Stokes “For Whom the Bell Tolls” continues into 1938, and with the current balance between Republicans and Falangists its gonna be an exiting 1938 I assume.
Additionally we’ve got News from the Gread Headquarters, where we’ll coment on the ongoing campaigns from now on. I found it nicer to have all new reports collected in one place instead of looking at the Kriegsarchiv.
More game reports pouring in, Fred continues his solitary play of WoR into January 1938, while we’ve put an experimental WitD into the pipeline.
Hello folks! Well, a new essay is up in the Kriegsarsenal, Glen Davis has contributed his history of the “Nisei” – US-born Japanese Soldiers in the US Army”. A topic I especially enjoyed as I rarely have the opportunity to read much about the war in the Pacific, and even more fascinating was the opportunity for me look at it from such an (from the german perspective) foreign point of view.
