Definitely NOT trying to beat up on GDW! Without them I wouldn't have found this awesome game and I might still be playing D&D! :P

Yeah after thinking about it today....there was no such thing as cut and paste like we have today when much of this material was published. Sometimes we tend to forget how much civilization has advance since 1984 when most of this material had been published originally. No I can see some one having several sheet of paper hold various OOBs, being called away and then trying to find their location in their work, finding what they thought was right, copy it and then briefly get called away again and then going back to the correct paper work. If they were like many paper offices, they weren't very organized. I can tell you story of professor whose office looks as if it still in the 1970s-80s with the exception of the computer he works on and mini/dorm fridge he has under his desk where he would sit if he didn't have it being used to collect large piles of papers....
Remember when computers were suppose to turn us into paperless society. We are getting their but still a long ways off. |

When I visited them in January of 1990, that's one thing I saw immediately -- several tables and desks with papers and maps all over them. It probably didn't help that a visitor showed out of the blue unannounced, but they were very nice about showing me around and giving me a quick peek (not too much) of what they were working on, and asking me questions about what its like to be a soldier, stuff about Korea (unfortunately, I could only tell them unclassified stuff), and what's it's like to shoot things like automatic weapons and grenade launchers and rocket launchers. I got the impression that they were considering doing something about Korea, and I even gave them a possible sourcebook title: Morning Calm (based on the full name of Korea in Hangul: Land of the Morning Calm). I hope I helped.

Cool you actually when to their shop...Way Cool.
Yeah that is the one of the tricky thing even today. How much information is too much information. LOL. You know Paul that one of those things I never thought much about either with what would be considered Classified and what wasn't. Especially for troops such as you that had served in Korea and Germany. Being only based at Fort Bragg not one of those things I had given much thought. Then again I am sure with the internet now, most of the beans have been spilled out of the can... |

We've got a skeleton of information. Will take some work but I'm sure we can put some meat on dem bones!
