,nw . am.. ff' Games Don't let the picture fool youg our club is BIG. We have 70 active members who get to- gether and do as much as we can to promote gaming. The Wargamers attended two con- ventions-Fledcon at Floyal Military College in Canada and the Council of Five Nations in Albany, New York. At both conferences the Wargamers made a good showing. The West Point annual gaming convention, POINTCON, had much success. The Wargamers play Wargames-minatures to board games to role-playing games. We've refought the battles of Napoleon, replayed World War I and World War ll from both sides, and even fought possible battles from the near and far distant future. While not all of the games we play are historical in nature they all teach us something: how to best apply the resources available to any situation. While these are only games, the think- ing skills involved do help in developing those skills every officer should have. And the best thing about it is that we all have a terrific time doing itl THIS IS A STICK-UP. The German soldier, Jeff Tlapa, wonders if stealing a Jeep is worth getting shot for. Activities 201 il

ELIGIOUS GROUPS Officer's Christian Fellowship, an international organi- zation, provides officers and cadets of all services the encouragement they need to grow as Christians through worship, accountability, fellowship, and Bible study. The OCF group at West Point prepares its cadets to build their spiritual muscle so that they may be strong Chris- tian leaders in the Army. Activities fondly remembered by OCF members include their retreat to the World of Life headquarters on Schroon Lake in April, Friday night Bible studies at the Dinsmore's, Mrs. D's home cooking, and Saturday Night Alive at the Donnithorne's. It is these type of experiences that develop close friendships and a strong faith in Jesus Christ. rr ' ' THE RACE IS ON. God's Gang T I hid 'I d tth b h, ' ' ffflabig its Lily Zfmftifcknif. Bac Splmtudl Muscle The Lutheran Cadet Forum consists of Lutheran cadets who gather together in the Faulkner Room on Tuesday nights with Pastor Rose to study God's word. They also discuss Christian living, Lutheran church doctrine, and issues within the Lutheran church. The group began the 1990-91 academic year with a re- treat in early September at Waterbrook Retreat Center in Cornwall. The retreat was sponsored by the West Point Lutheran congregation, and there were eighteen cadets in attendance. In February, seventeen Lutheran cadets joined with students from the SUNY New Paltz Christian Student Chapterfor their fourth annual Winter Retreat at Ashokan. Activities 203 f
