'GROGNARD' DEFINITION (per D. Holte) TOP-10 LIST

10.  Keeps copy of 'STRIKE FORCE ONE' in a plastic bag, with the counters
bagged too, because, 'you just never know...'

9.  Ditto the above but substitute 'NAPOLEON AT WATERLOO'  (However, this
doesn't carry as much weight as the previously mentioned possession of SFO))

8.  Can always be drawn into an argument whether 'to clip the corners, or not
to clip the corners...'

7.  Cannot bear the thought of having the first game in a multi-title series,
and NOT possessing the others.  This can, in some cases, cause severe trauma,
horrible nightmares, and result in odd-hour, out-of-the-way trips to numerous
game shops.

6.  Owns CNA, and is proud of the fact.

5.  Owns 'DRANG NACH OSTEN!' and 'UNENTSCHIEDEN', whether he/she is proud of
it or not.

4.   Feels my pain when I explain how I set something remotely heavy (like a
rubber band) on the open lid of an Avalon Hill counter tray...

3.  Is known to push copies of 'AXIS & ALLIES' or 'GETTYSBURG 88' into the
hands of unsuspecting friends and relatives with the explanation, "Check this
out, and tell me what you think..."

2.   Cannot easily count the number of times an excuse to the Wife started
with; "Well, I had no -idea- it was going to take as long as..."

And, the Number ONE definition of a Grognard...
