JOHN HILL -
John Hill is a prolific American designer of military wargames,
as well as rules for miniature wargaming such as Johnny Reb 3.
He is a member of the Wargaming Hall of Fame.
Hill, a native of Indiana, is most known as the designer of the
popular Avalon Hill board game Squad Leader in 1977. Hill
founded Conflict Games Company in the late 1960s and owned
a hobby shop, The Scale, in Lafayette, Indiana, for several
years. Among his many titles were Verdun, Kasserine Pass,
Overlord, Battle For Stalingrad, Tank Leader, Eastern Front
