I am trying to track down all of the dedications we have made of the years. I found a few, but they're tricky to find as they get put into odd corners. Here are the ones I found before I had to go back to my real job.

DEDICATION FILE
=
F&E 2010: This book is dedicated to the wives of our players, who allow their husbands to spend endless days and countless dollars with our products, and have brownies ready when their husbands get home from a hard day of gaming.
=
F&E Advanced Operations is dedicated to President Ronald Reagan, the man who won the Cold War and changed the world forever.
=
F&E Combined Operations: Dedicated to Christopher R Cole, a loyal employee, brother, and friend.
=
Star Fleet Battles Captain’s Edition is dedicated to the Captains from all nations, creeds, and eras; of the hundreds, the thousands, and the millions; of the land, the sea, and the sky; who led men into battle to fight for what they believed in.
=
F&E Planetary Operations is dedicated to the players of F&E for their loyalty and devotion to making the game better.

I know there is one about Librarians, one about astronauts, one about soldiers, one about logisticians, but I lack the time to hunt them down.

I could swear there is one about Joe Butler.

Helping hunting them down would be appreciated.

DO NOT POST REQUESTS OR SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE DEDICATIONS IN THIS TOPIC.

Guys, before spending your time tracking down a dedication, please check the list in the "sticky" "about message" at the top. That should keep the number of duplicates down.

Thanks for all your help. This question came up during working on F&E 2010 and we realized we didn't really know where all our dedications were or to whom they were made. We'd like to track them a bit better.

Thanks for all the help.

For those into medalology, this is a good chance to pick up a rare purple ribbon. Only the first person to report a product gets one. Reporting one gets you a "blank" and five gets you a "diamond".

Jean has been told to stay out of this as her time is too valuable.

By Xander Fulton (Dderidex) on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 - 01:51 am: Edit

This seems like a miss, as it does not specifically state "dedicated to...", but the last paragraph in the 'Z' section for the module (Notes, designer info, copyright, etc) is separate and reads like a dedication to 'the infantry'. Not sure if that's the "soldiers" one you were referring to above? Anyway:

SFB Module M
When the cannons have fired at the enemy, the planes have bombed him, and the tanks have rolled over his trenches, it is the infantry which must convince that enemy to sign the peace treaty.

Well, I think this is #4 for me, or #5 (depending on how the May 12 entry goes), but...

SFB Module R12
This product is dedicated to Shipwrights of all nations, whose innovations and integrity have advanced the art of ship construction and improved the safety of sailors, be they merchants or warriors, not only against the rage of man, but the implacable malice of the seas themselves.

Oh, hey, that's cheating - none of us *have* Y3, yet!

More complete Y3 dedication, too:

This product is dedicated to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal units of all the armed forces, in recognition of their courage and professionalism. They risk their lives that others may live safely.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Wednesday, March 09, 2011 - 12:03 am: Edit

I was searching for something else when I found this in the SFB MRB:
(Z37.9) Credits for the 1999 edition of Advanced Missions
The 1999 edition of SFB Basic Set and Advanced Missions was dedicated to ADB Security Chief Blackie, the Rabbitslayer, for 17 years of faithful service. He is missed.

I let this one site a few weeks, wondering if someone else would get it - but seems better to make sure it's jotted down, rather than risk losing it.

SFB Module C3A

This product is dedicated to the U.S. Navy SEALS, in recognition of their courage and professionalism. They risk their lives that others might live safely. We recognize their personal willingness not just to endure the rigors of the process to become members of that organization, but to expose themselves to the dangers of conducting the most difficult of operations with professionalism and courage.
