Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I finally got my hands on '88' by James Day.  This game was published by Yaquinto in 1980, as the 2nd? game in the series of Panzer(which i also snagged).  Its a tactical armor combat game in the Western Desert WW2.

I really liked MBT when Avalon Hill published it.  MBT is the same system, slightly simplified, using hidden inverted counters for commands rather than the original written moves, a larger scale 100m instead of 50m per hex.  I was going to make my own 88 game essentially from MBT, but then found the designers old games.  Fortuitous.

BUT OMG is the data card small, the font is like 4pt, its SOOOO tiny.

I am scanning the cards at 1200 dpi so I can reprint them onto something legible. 
I had much better eyes in 1980.

The newest Panzer by GMT and Jim Day is even more simplified.  But the cards and font are much bigger.
