Second this. Best ESG scenario I have ever played.

Upon reading this I went to see if I had this scenario, apparently it was in the last CH! item I ever bought in 2003. I have to admit the situation does indeed look interesting, although yet another fight over building 3M2 is in idea long in the tooth.
I also note that the compass rose points down! That's a formula sure to confuse someone's set up and/or entry. Why would Glenn have done that?
Thanks for the post, I'll set it aside in the "to play" pile.
As long as we're throwing CH! some love (apparently this is Opposite Day) I had a lot of fun playing CH25 Land of the Khan.
I lost as the Chinese on the last turn of the game but it was a blast to play with the three hidden VC. I chose one which I ignored for six turns to make it look like it was not what we were fighting over - a calculated "long con" which almost yielded victory.

I think Raging Furnace is an early CH scenario. I drove Anthony to fits of screaming after I rolled HOB on the 9-2 leader (BH) and (3) 6-5-8 squads (BH and Hero, each) on a 4MC inflicted on me. Best run of luck I’ve ever had playing ASL.

Here's two from HA district summer of 67. Not sure but I think the dude in the sunglasses looks an awful lot like Gary Fortenberry when he was a younger man......Most likely could have seen similar attire in Haight Ashbury around the same time. Probably the same " inspiration ".
I think Steranko at Marvel was similarly inspired. Some of his two page illustrations were definitely far out and groovy.

I have fond memories of playing O58.1 "the Furher's Firemen with Gord Reid circa 1988 or 1989.
A true monster scenario that was fun.
Are OAF scenarios available for download anywhere?

To the best of my knowledge, no. Some, but not all, of them have reprintings done by CH.

Is Terry Treadway still doing OAF?

AFAIK........No. The newsletter ended in the mid-90s, and I last talked with Terry around that time.

There was some small controversy about his tournament, mainly accessibility, but he was one of the early boys and his contributions to the hobby should not be overlooked. I can't recall ever meeting him although Fish did and I believe Nixon did also.

Ranger Stronghold T3/179
We played this five times on December 27th, 1987. Fish was the Americans in all five scenarios. I beat him the first four scenarios and he won the last one. I have a note about the fifth one that says great scenario.
One of the few times I beat Fish four times straight so I would have to say it's skewed towards the Germans.
Whether we particularly enjoyed this one or just kept playing it out of obstinace on Fish's part I really can't recall. If I had to put money on it I would say the latter was the greater influence. The Grofaz did not like to lose.
Not that many playings on the Archive, didn't check ROAR.

I'll have to check the notebook and see what comments I made. Have to help Actiondebbie cover some plants first, it's going to snow tonight.

The Germans have a 2:1 margin in units, and this can easily be increased by deployment. Throw in two tanks, smoke capability, and the ability to surround the Americans on the hill and it'll be a tough go for the Americans most times. Don't envy you the snow...stay warm!

It does seem like a considerable challenge for the Americans.
Snow in April not that unusual but a PITA for all the gardeners like Actiondebbie that jump the gun.

Yep 1997 was the end, about the same time as TAHGC began folding.

Didn't see anything extraordinary. The first two went to 4A the last three to 6B.
