About Chris
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can primarily answer questions about sports simulation games (Strat-O-Matic, APBA, Replay, as well as out-of-print games), and can also answer questions on Euro-family and/or wargames (by manufacturers such as Avalon Hill, GMT, Rio Grande, Mayfair, etc.). I ONLY deal in strict boardgames - not `physical` games, and rarely, will I have an answer on a CCG or RPG. As far as boardgames go, if I don`t know the answer, I have enough contacts through various conventions and forums to find the answer quickly!
