Wild Bill passes
Sadly, William Howard Wilder, Jr. passed away on August 20, 2020. His knowledge of 20th century conflict and penchant for designing scenarios provide us with many of the significant battles of the period. He covered everything from Mongolia, the PTO, Korea, South East Asia, the Spanish Civil War, the Middle East, Latin America and more. His medium included not only Squad Leader and ASL but also crossed the digital divide with scenarios for Combat Mission, Steel Panthers and others. The Squad leader community will always appreciate his PTO rules and scenarios for the Squad Leader system, his kindness and faith. Thank you for the ride, Wild Bill.
