I didn't play the game, but Team Yankee was one of the better books I ever bought in a grocery store.
Armageddon in Stalingrad, David Glantz arrived in the mail today!
This novel brings back quite a few memories. I recall that there was also a wargame based on this.
What a coincidence, I'm also rereading Panzer Leader while I'm waiting for Glantzs newest book to arrive (its been shipped) part 2 of the Stalingrad trilogy..
Re-reading Panzer Leader by Heinz & Barbarossa 1941 by glantz.
Reading Harold Coyle's "Team Yankee".
The Thirty Years War - Europe's Tragedy by Peter W. Wilson. 850+ pages. Wonderful book.
Profile Information
- Your introduction to consim gaming:
- I am a relatively latecomer to this lobby. I started 'wargaming' in the late seventies with the Usborne Battle Books. I remembered re-fighting the Battle of Arsuf over and over again with my little sister. Later, I found SPI's 'Napoleon' in 1982 and Squad Leader in 1983-4. I played Avalon Hill's 'Alexander the Great' and a couple of others from 1985. Afterwards, I was lost in the RPG wilderness and collectible card hell for years. I eventually returned to wargaming in the mid-nineties. These days, I am just not very active.

Nigerian scam
I have received hundreds of Nigerian scam on email. This latest one that I received is quite inventive. Imaginative even.

Denny Koch said… - Regarding your comment upon my Berlin Central Station photo: Yes, bicycles and cyling are quite popular in Germany, especially in university cities where lots of students and young people live. The bikeways are great and cyclists enjoy some privileges such as the permission to enter one-way streets from the wrong direction. Some cities even offer "bicycle streets" where bikes always have the right of way. In addition, mountain and race biking are extremely popular sports. Last but not least, more and more people commute by bike / train since the gasoline prices reached new heights this year.
