Men Under Fire

I played a game tonight of Frank Chadwick's playtest Men Under Fire rules. It was WW2 Western Front, Operation Cobra. I thought the rules played pretty well, although from the title's similarity to "Men On Film," I couldn't get the images of Blaine and Antoine out of my head! ;-) Read on for a quick review.

Battletech Terrain Board

Here is a terrain board commisioned by WizKids to play Battletech on.

Paper Model Buildings

Paper model buildings always seemed like a good idea to me, since (especially on a computer) you can resize them to whatever scale you want. Here are a few links to sites with designs for paper model buildings:

Terrain Tips

The Necromundicon has a number of good terrain building tips. While geared towards Sci-Fi terrain, the "How-To" section has a good number of general ideas towards construction techniques. Of course, the mother of all terrain sites is TerraGenesis.

Check out the Allied R/C Combat web site. These guys take remote controlled 1/144th scale battleships mounted with CO2 powered BB canons and try to sink each other. Sounds like a blast!

Wargame Campaigns

Wargames Campaigns by C.S. Grant is a broad work covering the many aspects of wargaming campaigns of any era. Being so broad, though, it lacks depth in any particular area.

Terrorism and Political Violence in the World

Political Violence in the World: An International Bibliography looks like an excellent resource for finding books on various world conflicts. It's not complete (for instance, there is no listing for Sierra Leone which has had plenty of well-publicized political violence), but I was able to find several things I was interested in. Note that I was unable to actually read the listings without highlighting them with my mouse, but it's worth the effort.
