	Sequential Tart: GMT Games (vol V/iss 6/June 2002)
		GMT: At this point in our existence, we are well known in historical war gaming circles, much less well known in the overall gaming population, and scarcely noticed by the public in general.
		GMT: The biggest challenge a developer often faces is taking a game design that the designer feels is already "done." There are always changes needed, and it often involves diplomacy of the highest order to make changes that streamline or enhance playability while retaining as much of the original design intent and mechanics as possible.
		GMT: We have not yet acquired any licensed products for development, but if we do, the primary factor influencing us to do so will be that the expected return from sales will be greater than the cost of obtaining the license plus producing and marketing the game.

	Funagain Games: Battle Line
		The object of the game is to be the first player to claim three consecutive stones or five of the nine stones.
		I’ve found that the game is useful in teaching introductory logic to kids, as this game uses a lot of it.
		But the game isn’t simply logic, as there are a lot of risk taking moves; watching what your opponent does both in their moves and the reactions on their face is incredibly important.

	Civil War Games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		There a whole handful of games published by The Gamers that focus on the Command and Control aspect of civil war battles while reducing the intricities of combat and movement.
		There are two monster games on a Regimental Scale that use a modificationof the system, but they may be a bit much for a beginner.
		These games focus on the maneuver aspects of the campaigns rather than combat or command.

		GMT Games, probably the most prolific of the wargame companies in the 1990s and 2000s, was founded in 1990.
		The company has become well known for graphically attractive games that range from "monster games", of many maps and counters, to quite simple games suitable for introducing new players to wargaming.

	Fair Play Games - Roads to Leningrad - Discounted Board Games and Card Games - GMT Games - Vance von Borries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		As part of a series, this game is designed to complement GMT’s East Front Series by presenting a focus on those battles that either were critical or typified action at that time.
		Game Features This game continues the tradition begun with the popular GMT Operational Series of games, and draws much from the recent GMT Kasserine game.
		The game maps, at a scale of 2.0 km per hex were developed from a variety of Soviet maps with much cross checking against period maps.

	Funagain Games: Rome
		Unusually for a race game, victory goes not to the owner of the first chariot to finish, but to the one who is first to get all three of their chariots home.
		What makes the game slightly different from most of the others in the 'majorities' field is the round-by-round progression through the provinces, which means that you are constantly having to decide whether to place your markers for now or for the future.
		The cards for all the games, while a little generic in their artwork, are of good quality; and the colors are easy to distinguish from each other.

	A review if GMT games' Wilderness War
		Most of the time the table of contents is sufficient to assist the player in locating the rule or explanation he is seeking, but a simple alphabetical index would do a great deal to make those rules even easier to locate.
		To reflect this within the game, Wilderness War allows this leader to command any number of Mohawk or Iroquois Indians without counting these forces against his command rating (which normally determines the number of troops that can be under his command).
		As the game progresses, it is very likely that the French’s ability to raid more frequently will increase.

		Our focus is on placing players in the same command positions that their historical counterparts were in, facing the same options, dilemmas, and unknowns as the historical leaders did.
		We believe it is possible to design games that are both historically accurate and fun, that it is possible to create a deeply absorbing game that affords players a uniquely compelling perspective on significant events in military history.

	DiF Designer Notes
		While GMT liked the game, we all agreed that WWII was a better market for a game and the decision made to advance the timeline from WWI to WWII.
		After much discussion, it was decided to have a series of four games: the early war in Europe, the early war in the Pacific, the late war in Europe, and the late war in the Pacific.
		It had hundreds of different game companies showing their latest games, half naked beautiful women demoing games, massive display screens, towers of audio equipment, and thousands and thousands of people walking around trying to see everything while rock concert level music blasted out of all the speakers.

		These are a few of the questions you can explore in the exciting new GMT game, PAX ROMANA, designed for play by all levels of gamers, from the competition-oriented, one sitting players to the Let’s Recreate History on a grand scale aficionados.

		In addition, there are two versions of PAX: the Standard Game, designed for fast play, and the Advanced version, which adds in much tangential history and allows for a more introspective examination of the era.
