The Michigan Daily-Sunday, September 21,1980-Page 3 '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.

"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.
