Hall of Fame
Lou Zocchi: One of the "grand old men" of the wargaming hobby, Lou Zocchi was everyone's "Uncle Lou" and a devout hobby evangelist. Although he designed a few games (Alien Space, The Battle of Britain, Luftwaffe), Lou will probably be best remembered for making the finest dice in the hobby and inventing the "Zocchihedron" (100-sided) die.
