Also, on quanticfoundry.com, they've built a Gamer Motivational Model here.

Finally, on campaignmastery.com a few years back, Mike Bourke wrote and excellent two-part article on "Value for money and the pricing of RPG materials" here and here.

Nostalgia Thursday - Avalon Hill, Third Reich, & Rail Baron

This week, I opted to include some links of short retrospectives of Avalon Hill and two of their more popular wargames / boardgames.  The first is from thebiggamehunter.com and includes some early history of the company and its founder, Charles S. Roberts, here.

Also, on Grognardia in 2011, James Maliszewski took a retrospective look at "Rise and Decline of the Third Reich."  This game which came out in 1974 proved to be one of the more challenging games I owned and played in my late teens.  Read the Grognardian account here.

Finally, over on the gamecabinet.com website, an article by Stuart Dagger looks at "Rail Baron & US Rails: A Retrospective, A Variant & A Review" here.
