Well, other than being a miniture wargamer, I would like to think that some day I might actually publish some of the 'junk' laying around the study. My "opus'" on electronic warfare, WW II TO&E's and OOB's or, my research in developing wargaming rules that turned into a book's worth of essays and math on such esoteric subjects as: "Determining the Mobility of AFV From Historical Data" or, "Effects of HE Shells" might have some limited viability as books.
I would like to think that at some point someone other than myself might look at some of this and say "Wow, this is really useful!" Well, anyway, that's why I do the research.
