I have been playing Axis & Allies since it hit the shelves in 1984. I, like most, just went
at it and played 10, 12, 14 hours games for years, not really establishing a good handle on the game until about 1989.
That is when a great board gamer friend, Todd Vander Pyulm from So.Cal., showed me the light. He was a devastating player,
now retired. Not long after playing AA with Todd, we started showing up at GEN CON (when it was in Milwaukee)
as partners and really backing some good smack talk about our AA play. Just about that time, Rich Baker of Wizards was
then running the Mega Tournament at GEN CON for TSR. It was a nice tournament but Rich, openly confessed, he was not
an AA guru at the time. That is when I stepped in. He asked if I would like to take over the AA tournaments for
TSR, later to become AH/Wizards. I openly obliged...and the rest is history.

Since, I have worked with Larry Harris himself on the Revised, AA50 and the soon out AAEurope/Pacific
rules, Rob Daviau (original Pacific creator) and many others at Wizards, in the attempt to make the FTF tournaments at GEN
CON Indy what they are today. I have been running the tournament(s) at GEN CON since 1993 as an independent GM and hope
that there are many more years to come...
