Maxwell’s Marauders, 1st Platoon, C Company of the 7th Marine Regiment is a fictional unit, filled with characters that I have created to deepen my connection to my Squad Battles “ Proud and the Few ” gaming. The New York boys, Bullseye, Sgt. Rock and the rest are going to be persistent characters (unless they die on my digital battlefields) that take me through the War in the Pacific. From Guadalcanal to New Britain to Peleliu and finally Okinawa, the 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment served with distinction and so too will Maxwell’s Marauders. Along the way, my hope is that by investing in the backstories of the soldiers on the map, I will play smarter and take fewer risks with them, enjoy my gaming and appreciate this great Squad Battles system in a deeper way.

Thank you very much for your concern my friend. I am quite well myself, but unfortunately lots of my fellow compatriots are not. As I write this comment, clashes between the police and the protesters rage on in major cities all around the country. Things have been quiet here in my town. The protests were peaceful and the police behaved generally reasonable.
I really pray and hope that things end soon. For you and other friends out there, here's what the protesters would want the world to know. It pretty much sums it all up. If I'm not mistaken, this message will be published in NY Times:
