'This means war!'
For some soldiers, a battle is fun and games
By GREG DAVIS
Though no passers-by would have heard any
sword-clashing or battle cries, the game players who
gathered in the Kuenzel Room of the Michigan Union
yesterday were absorbed in a day-long series of
jousts and chases. All it took was a little imagination.
The "soldiers" were attending SIMCON V, the fifth
annual wargames tournament organized by the,
Michigan Gamers' Council, a local student group that
*olds weekly meetings in the Union.
THE GAMES RANGED from medieval conflicts to
interplanetary starship battles. And though the wars
were purely fictional, many participants took their
parts seriously.
Ann Arbor Hobby employee Dennis Farmer was
supervising the American Revolution miniatures
game, and his costume served to prove it. Farmer
sported a Revolutionary-era outfit, complete with a
flintlock pistol and bayonet.
The hobby shop employee said he has been playing
wargames since the age of six. This year, he said, he
has traveled as far as South Carolina to attend tour-
naments. The only comment he would make about his
costume was, "I enjoy wearing 18th-century
clothing."
Eldert Bontekoe, a Gamers' Council officer, ex-
plained that a "battle" between the miniature figures
in the Revolutionary War game lasts from four to six
hours, while a "campaign" can continue for an entire
school year.
HENRY TRIPP, AN Ann Arbor resident for seven
years, was setting up a "War of Roses" game that
also uses miniatures. Tripp said he began painting
his own figures after playing "Tank Battle" in
college. He painted his figures in medieval costumes,
he said, "because you get tired of painting everything
greem or gray." His collection includes more than
100 detailed miniatures, from foot soldiers to hor-
semen.
Because of inflated costs, Tripp said, he can no
longer afford to paint all the figures for his games.
The miniatures have gone up in price from 15 to 60
cents, he said.
Wargame participants wandered in and out of the
Kuenzel Room from 10 a.m. until midnight yester-
day. At mid-afternoon there were as many as 40
players at one time.
JOHN FARKAS AND Gary Cowan, both represen-
ting Crown Games, Inc., a new firm in Westland,
Mich., demonstrated their new game, Slush, which
they said will soon be on the market.
The game is played with a special deck of cards
that contains a fifth "star" suit. The players try to get
either the most or least points possible.
Cowan said he and his wife have been playing the
game for eight years, but not until now were they able
to refine it for commercial sale.
The crowd that attended SIMCON V was
predominantly male and college-aged, but some
players were as young as 13. The prizes included
board games and gift certificates to area game
stores.

No new murder clues
There are no further developments in
the murder investigation of Rebecca
Greer Huff, police said yesterday. Huff,
who was working on a masters degree
in Business Administration at the
University, was the third Ann Arbor
woman to be brutally murdered in the
past five months.
Police also dispelled rumors cir-
culating around campus that women's
bodies have been found in trash cans at
Mosher-Jordan residence hall and
other places on campus.
"WHENEVER THERE are murders,
all sorts of rumors fly around, none of
which so far are true," a j police
spokesperson said.
The Ann Arbor Police Department is
asking that anyone who has knowledge
of these crimes, or anyone who believes
he or she is witnessing an assault in
progress, to notify the department at
994-2875.
A confidential telephone line has also
been established by the Washtenaw
County Sheriff's Department for
citizens with information. The number
is 973-7711.
