@Krieghund thanks for your answer.
Larry Harris' website had been shut down - and is back again!
-
For quite some time now Larry Harris’ website
http://www.harrisgamedesign.com
including his forum
http://www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/index.php
apparently has been unavailable.Does anyone have any information about this?
Some content luckily is still available through web.archive.org - but maybe it is just a temporary issue?
-
The site is down for maintenance. I have no word yet on how much longer this will take, but it will return.
-
@Panther . I had forgotten about his website! Not been on it in a while. Will look, when it is back up. Thanks for the notification.
-
It’s been over a month. Is this site coming back any time soon, or is it lost to the ether for good?

Is gone forever. The domain name is now owned by some Chinese firm. Oh well.

This is what has been archived from his forum (until mid-October 2018):

It’s too bad that Larry’s site has expired: the General Discussion thread “Anyone with info on sculpts?”, in which Krieghund provided sculpt identification information, was one of the reference sources I used when I was compiling my sculpt identification charts. On the brighter side, Krieghund is still with us over here at A&A.org, which is a good thing.
-
@CWO-Marc shame indeed . Was visited less than this site , but was still nice to pop in, look round and comment occasionally. And great when Larry commented in threads.
-
Unfortunately, Larry decided that there wasn’t enough traffic to justify keeping the site going. This represents a great loss of information.
I’m going to repost the sculpts list here and try to find homes for any FAQs for OOP games that don’t already have them as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks, that will be useful. I have a copy on file of your sculpt list postings, and they can still be found on the archived version of Larry’s site, but having those lists posted here too would be great. As a supplement to those lists – which use the rulebook designations of the equipment, and which indicate as applicable which sculpts are used in which versions of the games – here’s a link to the ID charts I compiled, which provide a bit of additional information on the models/classes of the WWII equipment on which the sculpts are based. The charts expand to full size when clicked, for easier viewing.

Many thanks to Krieghund for posting the list here yesterday:

@Krieghund I understand that this may require some work on your end, but would you consider reposting the A&A Global 1940 First Edition 3.9 rule mods? Yes, the Second Editions supersede them, but I consider them to be a part of the history of the game - the transition from 1940 First Edition to 1940 Second Edition.
Just a thought.

@Midnight_Reaper In the meantime I reference the current link to Alpha 3 (incl. “3.9”) here:

@Panther Well, that works, too… :+1:

I have uploaded the FAQs for all of the OOP games (Classic, Europe, Pacific, Revised, D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Guadalcanal, 1942 1st Edition) in their appropriate forums. Could someone please “sticky” them?
-
@Krieghund done and thank you for the links.

Just like that? Wow.

Is it possible some major threads of various subject maters can be copied and reposted on this site, or is that too much of a copyright problem for Larry and the A&A Org. people?, Thanks Pellulo

Harris Game Design is back up!
