Guys,
Here's some news about what I expect to be coming up in next Line of Departure: click here.

If you'd like an advanced clue, "Achtung, u-boot!"

Right now I'm working hard on the next issue of the magazine. This year I've been busy with development work for Turning Point Simulations and Lock 'n Load, as well as the usual commitments of a halfway normal life. Look to for my article on Lock 'n Load's upcoming reprint of Britain Stands Alone, in Line of Fire Issue 2.

As it stands now, the lead article will be a review of Joseph Miranda's Manila '45 from Strategy & Tactics.

I'm also working up an analysis of the Mongols, and how they play in Devil's Horsemen. That will probably be one of the next issue's features, and if not, it will be published soon.

Right now, my plan is to get the magazine out the door by Memorial Day. Stay tuned for more details.

If you want free material, here it is. I just uploaded two new articles to Line of Departure/The Wargamer.

One is a review of Larry Bond's Harpoon - Commander's Edition, the latest iteration of Harpoon Classic, my favorite computer game of all time. The other looks at stereotypical banana republic fun and profit in Tropico, which is really a pretty good game if not a wargame per se. You can read about that one here.

As always, please let me know what you think.

I have to ask, what are your favorite articles that you've read in Line of Departure? And what subjects would you like to see covered more often, and which should be be forgotten before they're conceived?

So... What do you think of the music associated with my page?
