Ava Norbert Brunhuber

As evocati Norbert is the ideal Classical Hack player. Through his efforts Classical Hack has been presented to hundreds of players. Most significantly was his idea of the To the Strongest weekend event. With the assistance of Pete Panzeri and Jodie Con Norbert orchestrated a campaign weekend that hosted some 30 players in New Jersey in early circa 2000 A.D. (if I recall the year correctly). Norbert arranged an event that covered the Successor Wars of the Diadochi to dtermine the fate of Alexander's empire. This was one of the most brilliant concepts for a gaming weekend.

After the Diadochi event Norbert put on endless games focusing on that period at all the big conventions on the East Coast. His games were beyond large and reenacted the many different battles fought in the Successor Period. In regard to size of games and numbers of players his games equal or come close to those done by Mark Zaslavsky. That in itself is no small accomplishment.

Norbert's support of Classical Hack has been monumental for fostering ancient gaming and the system itself. While Norbert has not done one his big games lately I ope he willl turn his attnsion to Homeric Hack another period which is interested in. Currently he is generating interest in naval warfare in the time of the Successors. Ancient gaming and Classical Hack owes much to Norbert's outstanding approach to gaming. Ava Norbert.
