I was at Borders a few nights ago and I picked up 'Warhammer 40,000: The Killing Ground', 'The Art of Clint Langley: Dark Visions from the grim Worlds of Warhammer', 'The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road: 1567-1659' by Geoffrey Parker, 'Forgotten Wars: The End of Britain's Asian Empire' by Christopher Bayly and Tim Harper and 'The grand Strategy of Philip II' by Geoffrey Parker.
I finished 'The Lover' by Marguerite Duras a few days back. I have just started on 'Battles of the Thirty Years War: From White Mountain to Nordlingen 1618-1635'. I am also in the midst of a few other books including 'God is not great: How religion poisons the world' by Christopher Hitchens.

One of my CCAC students lent me a copy of Stability Operations and State-Building: Continuities and Contingencies, from the Strategic Studies Institute. It's an interesting read, and although I just started on it, there are things in there I can use in my American Foreign Policy class at La Roche College tomorrow.

My last two Pohl books before this was more than two decades ago. I can't remember much except for a strong anti-establishment slant.

I can't even remember the other titles I've read, though I checked. I tried his "Heechee" series but did not like it.

Got a copy of "Vasily Grossman: A Writer At War" for my birthday a while back and finally started reading it this week. I'm still in the intro pages that provide the background for the times and Grossman's pre-war life and am learning new stuff already.

Glantz's latest and most amazing treatise on the city fighting in Stalingrad (Vol 2 of his Stalingrad Trilogy, ARMAGEDDON IN STALINGRAD. For once, the maps in his books are clear--and there a lot of them. For those of us who are/were serious players of STREETS OF STALINGRAD, all the maps are instantly recognizable. This volume is huge and simply breath-taking.

"Time Travelers Never Die" by Jack McDevitt. SciFi. OK but not up to his previous books I've read.
"The Arms Maker of Berlin" by Dan Fesperman. Novel on the' White Rose Movement' of Nazi Germany. Sins of the past coming back to haunt the present. Very Good. Must check out more books by this author.

My blog on the BATTLES #3 analysis of OSG games here.
Scott - If you are interested in a game of The Battle for Normandy, drop me an email. I've got one PBEM game going, but I can probably start another.
0900 opens with another CSA initiative and again a March chit is chosen. Good timing with Davis facing troopers ready to open up on him. Davis' brigade rolls change to attack though weak as they are morale-wise that probably is a poor choice. Pettig…
cool
Matt - Been in playtesting for a few weeks now. We have about 20 people testing it, plus a gaming class at Brown University in Minnesota.
Once we get into final phase, I will add you to the list, so you can get a sneak peak and have some fun at the…
too late to playtest? or to looka at the rules?
Matt - thanks. That took some work. Now to get the Japanese attack determination to work just right...
Steve...Looks really, really good. I think you got the DC thing down!
As you play and note some discrepencies or you see something that needs clarification let me know.
The Japanese attack tables may be changed as the RR results seem to be cropping up a bit often. But it does have a lot to do with chit draw for value…
Great pics, thanks Lisa!
I loved that place, you can spend days in there, was able to visit it years ago while stationed in Germany, .
It was during a week long vacation in Paris paid for by Uncle Sam. :-)
