March 24th 1122 A.D.
On this date an English monk named Gunther, who was obsessed with Advanced Cohort Leader, released GROWL, Gunther's Record Of Wins/Losses. This was the first compilation of data of ACL scenarios since Marcus Nixonius' The Numbers of ACLOk in 1072 AD.
While collection of results was extremely slow due to poor roads and communication Gunther was diligent in his gathering of these which he dutifully recorded on a sheepskin parchment. He was fortunate to have an opponent who shared his love of ACL. This was the local Baron who interceded when Gunther's superiors thought that he was spending too much time playing and not enough time praying. Upon Gunther's death this parchment and it's invaluable information was left to the Baron. It's whereabouts from there are unknown although Professor Talo had uncovered some extremely interesting information that may lead to it's recovery.
The recording of ACL scenario information languished until the 19th century and the invention of the telegraph. Information could now be transmitted at a speed undreamt of by Gunther. This gave rise to The Legionnaire's Log. However events in the world saw a rapid demise in wargames and ACL and Legionnaires's Log were soon lost to the past.
Professor Talo didn't want me to announce this before his research was completed but I couldn't contain the excitement! The Professor believes that he had discovered the location of Brother Gunther's original sheepskin manuscript!
Professor Talo believes it was on the sheepskin parchment that the Magna Carta is written on!! He has discovered that one of the Barons who forced King John to sign the Magna Carta was the direct descendant of the Baron who was Gunther's ftf opponent. Parchment was very rare at the time and the Baron, a great ACL player himself, gave up his family's priceless document to help give birth to another priceless document.
Hundreds of years of ACL information were scraped off of the sheepskin to make room for the Magna Carta. However the Professor thinks that the original information can be retrieved, much like a palimpsest. He is currently in negotiations with the British government. Updates to follow.
