The Great Blue Bear now on his way to the summerlands.

Emperor vs Elector readers, one of the originators of this group blog, Jeff aka Blue Bear of Saxe-Bearstein has passed away.

Jeff had been in hospital since July and moved to Hospice care in late September.

On October 13, 2016 there was a celebration of life for Jeff and we all recounted many tales from the past 20 years.

Saxe-Bearstein shall be going silent as was Jeff's desire.  There is no reason to stop posting here and continuing a game-filled conversation.

Although my knowledge of him was fleeting I am sorry to hear he is no longer with us. We are an aging breed and the loss of another stalwart is a blow. If there is a destination after this may he bask in the warm sunshine of eternal afternoon.

So sorry to hear of the passing of a great gamer. Seemed like a really nice guy, from his blog/web presence. Hopefully I'll sit cross the wargaming table with him in the heareafter.
