No promises yet (it's way too soon), but I'm definitely going to see what I can do about that.  :)

incidentally, Proving Ground won an Origins Award for Best Historical Miniature Rules with Fields of Fire, so very well-done to them!

It was blast to participate in. I was the Fires officer for our run through. Very tense and very good way to learn the workings of a combat staff.

I assume an interest in military history, wargaming etc. helped but did you have any other prior experience/knowledge that helped you participate or was it easy to jump in and learn as you went.
