- On June 4th 1942, Lt. Comdr. Wade McClusky led Bombing 6 (from the Enterprise) against the Japanese carrier group attacking Midway.
- On August 7th 1942, Capt. Donald Dickson went ashore on Guadalcanal as an adjutant to the 5th Marine Regiment.

Each then returned home, made speeches, and so it was for many years. Then a game company in Baltimore called upon them to take us back. R. Adm. McClusky flew with us over the carriers again in 1964. 1965 found us at Bastogne with Maj. Gen. McAuliffe looking over our shoulders. In 1966 Col. Dickson took us to Guadalcanal.
TAHGC eventually dissolved, but visits to the old battlefields did not end with of those games. Indeed SPI, GDW, and additional roads not only to those times & places, but also to each other, as well as to and from the Avalon Hill's publications.
The 3rd Ed. games will live on. My marines have stood against the Japanese landings against Midway. My paratroops and ground-pounders have dueled with the HG & 15th PzGr divisions on Sicily. The Italians have fought the French in Alpine France. The Czechs did resist the Nazi assimilation (thoroughly thrashed the Germania regiment too).
No, this is not over. Just a little different.
