Alan Emrich on WW2 Game Designs

Description provided by Robert Vollman on YouTube:

Caught up with famed game designer Alan Emrich at the World Boardgaming Championships in Baltimore, Maryland on August 2nd, 2000 to talk about Totaler Krieg and other World War 2 game designs, of which he's been involved in many. Here he discusses his favourite differences between Krieg and the brand-new Totaler Krieg (support units, the East-first strategy being viable, and the Dice of Decision random game generator). We then discuss World in Flames, where he was involved in the 2nd and 3rd editions (and Days of Decision), and Advanced Third Reich, in which his considerable influence is well-documented. Simply put these games are too much work, too unforgiving of bad dice, and weren't as good as they could be due to their designer's decisions (Harry Rowland's tournament experiences, and Bruce Harper's Rising Sun project). Alan then resumes teaching/moderating two players enjoying his latest game.
