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.

May I know if anyone has read 'Vietnam: The History of an Unwinnable War, 1945-1975 (Modern War Studies)' by John Prados?

If so, how did you find it?

Finished; "The Fall of Rome and the End of Civilization" by Bryan Ward-Perkins. This is about the continuous debate on how Rome fell. By violence or was it a peaceful fall. The author supports the violent reason as do I. Too much evidence to support this like all the evidence to support evolution over "A higher Power". The book was dry but short, 183 pages to read plus the glossary, etc. The first chapters were very good but later chapters dry when the author put forward the evidence.This was a necessity though to prove his point. Its sorta like, listening to the lawyers, present their evidence in a courtroom, mostly dry stuff but necessary.
Another book was "Defense of the Faith: Charles V, Suleyman the Magnificent, and the Battle for Europe, 1520-1536, by James Reston, Jr. Overall a good read but must be careful of the author's prejudices in favor of the muslims. Read one of his other books on the Western counter-crusades:"Warriors of God" where he was very prejudiced against the Western Crusaders and in favor of the brutal muslim crusaders. This is the normal revisionist history of today of the left.

Just started "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. Some powerful stuff here in light of what our President is trying to accomplish.

"How Far from Austerlitz" by Alistair Horne; next in line is "Crisis in the Snows" (the Eylau Campaign) by James R. Arnold & Ralph R. Reinertsen; after that, "The War of Wars, the Great European Conflict 1793-1815" by Robert Harvey; these should keep me busy for a while.

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…

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. :-)
