Happy (belated) birthday

May 5th was wargame hall of famer Rodger B Macgowan's birthday.  Thank you Mr. Macgowan for all the work you have done for the wargame industry!

Mr. MacGowan has worked on over 250 wargames and designed various game magazines in his career and has won numerous game industry and hobby awards.  He was the founder of the late great mag. Fire and Movement and has done the box art for countless wargames.  Back in 1976 ( i was three years old) Avalon Hill welcomed him aboard.  His first wargame box art for them was The Russian Campaign, followed by Squad Leader and Cross of iron.  He also did the art for Avalon Hill's in house mag. The General.  You can find Mr. Macgowan's most recent work on any number of GMT game boxes, or just check out his mag. c3i.


Ah... the salad days of wargaming...
