Thanks, Spartan. I appreciate the publicity. OP and I have been having an interesting side conversation about certain technical aspects of Pacific Northwest.

I had to do some digging for my saved copies, but Wayne over at Wayne's Books (who is a damn fine bookseller and GM and deserves your business) has some archived information about The Game, the mega-scale game that GDW staff played to develop the timeline between the Twilight War and 2300AD:

He also links to a Tripod site (amazingly, still active!) that has a rules outline for The Game:

https://stalexone.tripod.com/gg2/2300game.htm

I recommend saving local copies of those pages in PDF in case they disappear some day. I don't know if GDW ever planned to develop and package The Game as a product, but at the very least, it's an interesting look into their history.

It rarely takes more than a page to recognize that you're in the presence of someone who can write, but it only takes a sentence to know you're dealing with someone who can't.
