Alan Poulter

There will be no Update next Sunday as I will be away for a weekend break.

The 4CDs Challenge, sponsored by 4CDs Strategy and Wargame Shop, offering a free copy of Talonsoft's East Front computer wargame still has not been won! To win you must correctly answer both the following questions:-

• Q1: The following quote comes from the manual of a classic computer wargame:-

  '"Give 'em hell boys!", he shouted. His corps commander was handicapped in this regard by being the Bishop of Louisiana but he was equal to the occasion.'

  What is the name of the game, what company produced it and who designed it?

• Q2: What are the title and publisher of the current Grognard Challenge game? This you have to recognise from scans of two map sections and two sets of units on the Web-Grognards homepage.

1. Only one entry is allowed per entrant. Subsequent entries submitted by any entrant will be ineligible.
2. All entries must be sent to grognard@grognard.com
