ANYone is free to print off and distribute as many copies of my English language edition of Postcard Solomons CVs as (4"x6"/A6 or better 5"x8"/A5) postcards as you like, as long as you keep my © 2022 Louis R. Coatney copyright statement, the Dedication, and my quotes about war and history on them.

Dedication:

Postcard Solomons CVs is Dedicated to Bob Coatney, Homer Coatney, John Burgett, Bill Heerde, and our other Allied servicemen in the Asian Pacific War and to my children Rebecca, Robert, Rohan, and Johanna hoping they will never suffer another world war.

The more we learn about the Second World War, the better our chances that it will be the LAST world war.

War must be confined to history books and games.

A Request: If you do assemble and play this free game of mine, PLEASE let me know at ELCOAT@hotmail.com what you think of it and whether, after more than a couple games, you think one side or the other has an advantage. Thanks!
