Batting .333,or,10 Years Out of 30 Ain’t Bad

Abstract

Gaming is more than a pastime; it is a passion that does not depend on professional affiliation. For a man of many passions, it is often necessary to make painful choices when priorities are not obvious. As a wargamer and a foreigner, the author has found both a home and a puzzle in NASAGA, an experience that is probably shared by other gamers, at least for the home part. NASAGA represents a positive creation of Anglo-American civilization, and it assuages the uncomfortable situation of living in a world that is in many ways as American as the classical world was Roman.
