Hi all.
First time here. I recently attended an auction at which a TON of wargaming items was sold. I picked up tons of counters and what appears to be original designed games from probably the estate of a gentleman by the name of Ron Kinlough. He apparently lived and PLAYED in both Akron, Ohio and McKeesport, PA. He apparently did alot of scenario writing for Squad Leader though I'm unsure if it was just at the club level or also commercally. There are about 15-20 trays PACKED full of counters for ASL along with the 4th edition rules for Squad Leader and Crescendo of Doom and a 3rd edition of Cross of Iron. I will eventually be offering these to a good home to ANYONE who is interested but I have a couple of questions before I do. There was a notebook with a lot of scenarios. The first folder started with scenario #1 "A Page of History"and continued thru scenario #16 "Villars". Other scenario folders started with # 309 "Through the Mountains" continuing thru the 400's. Also there is a folder entitled "The Penn State Squad Leader Campaign System" with handwritten notes on the campaign game.
In the box there are also what appears to be a game designed on the Korean war with beautifully hand drawn maps of the Korean peninsula and also a game about the French Chinese war in Laos. Both contain the original typed up rules and scnenario designs on graph paper. Its fascinating stuff as this gentleman was obviously very dedicated and talented. He was also a veteran with extensive training as I found a bunch of certificates in the box from the military.
My questions are:
1) Is anyone familiar with Mr Kinlough?
2) where are the Squad leader scenarios from? A club? They dont look commercial.
3) And eventually is anyone interested in this stuff (for free) that lives in either the Cleveland or Pittsburgh area as I travel to both. There is much too much to ship as there are thousands of counters in those 15-20 trays and a pile of papers about 18" high of those notebooks, scenarios and squad leader manuals.
Anyone that can give information on either Mr Kinlough or the scenarios please reply here. and if interested in the whole lot of material we can continue by e-mail.
