    The author makes small changes to Tamaschke's axioms. ``If \(A\) is an affine space and \(S\) a geometric group of translations of \(A\), then every point orbit of \(S\) is the set of points of an affine subspace of \(A\).'' The reverse statement holds true under a weak additional assumption. Finally, it is shown ``that every non-Desarguesian translation plane possesses a distinguished class of affine subspaces.''
