Vimied

We have an article in the current issue of Strategy & Tactics Magazine: Canadian Triumph, the Storming of Vimy Ridge.

Decision Games, S&T's parent company has a straaaaange way of doing things. Their articles have a loooooong lead time. We've discussed this matter before, we realize. When did we write Canadian Triumph? Our oldest was a baby. We wrote this piece during nap times. Our oldest is now 11. That's right. We wrote Canadian Triumph during George W. Bush's second term. Other articles we wrote at that time included pieces on current events such as the Army's Transformation and The Surge.

This is one of the reasons why we don't write for Decision Games any more. Also they stiffed us the money they owed us for designing the Meuse-Argonne Folio Game.

Oh Decision Games, don't ever change.

So....You want to Freelance

Oh Decision Games, you make us laugh.

So it turns out we have an article in DG's current issue of Strategy & Tactics Magazine.

We knew we had a piece coming up because they sent us a check, which was surprising for a whole slew of reasons. We didn't know which article though.

Well, yesterday we received our author's complimentary copy. With great shock we saw which piece of ours they published.

Now, we're not going to say which one. But we will tell the reader(s) about the time and place in which we submitted  the piece.

-Saddam Hussein still ran Iraq
-George W Bush was in his first term
-One could still buy CDs everywhere, including Borders
-Social media was not a thing
-Google was still just a search engine
-We lived in a farmhouse in Peapack
-We had no children
-American Idol was in its second season
-Donald Trump was only the star of The Apprentice
-We didn't play guitar

That's right, folks. Fifteen fucking years.

In case the reader(s) is/are wondering, no other military history magazine does business this way.

Which is why we don't submit to Decision Games anymore. Also, they stiffed us once.

The Mel Gibson Reference was still kinda current in 2003
