Oliver North
Oliver Laurence North (born October 7, 1943) is an American political commentator, television host, military historian, author, and retired United States Marine Corps lieutenant colonel. A veteran of the Vietnam War, North was a National Security Council staff member during the Iran–Contra affair, a political scandal of the late 1980s.

North was granted limited immunity from prosecution in exchange for testifying before Congress about the scheme. He was initially convicted on three felony charges, but the convictions were vacated and reversed and all charges against him dismissed in 1991. North un ...

Under Fire!
''Under Fire!'' is a tactical level computer game released by Avalon Hill's computer division in 1985. The game was released for Apple II, Commodore 64, and DOS systems. Initial packaging had the name of the designer, Ralph H. Bosson, over the title on the box front so as to read ''Ralph Bosson's UNDER FIRE!'', but subsequent packaging replaced his name and read ''Avalon Hill's UNDER FIRE!'' instead. The C64 port was by Dyadic Software Associates. The game was not billed as a computer version of Squad Leader, though it did bear some similarities in that players commanded roughly company sized forces. Only three maps were available for play. The game was unique in that for each of the nine scenarios, victory was not declared at game's end. A results screen would show losses in men and equipment, and list possession of objectives, leaving the determination of "victory" to the player. An ''Extended Capabilities Disk'' was sold by Avalon Hill also, adding 56 more US, German and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
