• 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.

The Previous Grognards Challenge: Allan Rothberg (arothberg@earthlink.net) was the first of a few to guess "Operation Husky" (Steve Bohn Games). This is Allan's eighth win and puts him top equal with Randy Moorehead in terms of most wins. A new Challenge awaits!
