January, 2024

Well, we made it through our 20th Anniversary Year and into 2024! So, Happy New Year to all our visitors, contributors, patrons and sponsors.

Whether LYG will still be here in 2025 is still somewhat debatable. I do have options that should allow this technically, but there will be a LOT of learning and hard work required and, at the moment, I'm not sure I have the motivation required. We'll see.

On a happier note, my 6-year old granddaughter, Serna, drew the names from the hat for our 20th Anniversary Prize Draw (so you can blame her if you didn't win). The winners are:

• 1st Prize (a copy of Ken Demyen’s counters and map for War of the Ring)
  Dave Metcalf
• 2nd Prize (a map from our map selection)
  Brian Bradford
• 3rd Prize (any three counter sheets from our counter selection)
  Eleazar Lawson

I'd like to thank everyone that participated in the Prize Draw, either by purchasing counters and maps from the LYG Shop or by making a donation to the site.

We also need to thank all of the sponsors that provided promotions during 2023 to help us celebrate. These were:

• Strategemata
• War Diary Magazine
• Worthington Games
• Lombardy Studios
• Europa Simulazioni
• Acies Edizioni
• Legion Wargames
• Against the Odds Magazine
• Australian Design Group
• Red Sash Games
• C3i Magazine

I think Strategemata desrve a special mention as they offered LYG Visitors a 20% discount throughout 2023.

Just a reminder that during 2024, with the occasional exception, we will only be accepting updates to existing files; we will not be uploading new content (our storage limits don't allow it). With Vassal and ZT we will continue to add cross-links to those platform's sites - but we won't be hosting new files that are available on those sites.
