How did it come to pass that, with each dazzling victory in the east, final victory seemed to move further away from Germany’s grasp? This issue examines Guderian’s role in the first half-year of the Russian campaign, in the process opening a window onto the failure of Barbarossa as a whole. 1 vol, 116 pgs 2023 US, DECISION GAMES NEW-pb, available late April 2023…..$20.00 OMM Discount 10%: Now $18.00 …here in 2-3 weeks |

Refugee in Sparta with his motley army, Nabis fights a last combat to try to save his city. The wargame replays this battle which begins with a confrontation on the open ground and extends into street fighting, where all tactical stratagems, including the arson of the city, are good for repelling the Romans.

<![if !vml]> <![endif]>CONWAY’S All the World’s Fighting Ships 1906-1921 Second in a series of four books which, as the title suggests, lists all the worlds fighting ships built during the years noted. After a brief foreword and an explanation of abbreviations used, the navies of the world are listed by country in order of their size and importance at the beginning of the period in question. Each country’s ships are then displayed by ‘class’ commencing with the largest capital ships and progressing all the way down to the smallest torpedo boats (or whatever) with the oldest vessels mentioned first. For each class, there is one or more of those profile line drawings which have become Conway’s trademark. These are followed by all the usual technical details such as; Displacement, dimensions, machinery, armor, armament, and complement followed by the names of each ship within that class – it’s builder, date laid down, date completed and fate. These are accompanied by text outlining the political intrigue of the day, variations between vessels, refits, new equipment, whatever defects or other problems beset either the class or a specific ship and a short history and fate of each ship. 1 vol, 454 pgs 1980 UK, CONWAY MARITIME PRESS V.

<![if !vml]> <![endif]>MacDonald, RodPEARL HARBOR’S REVENGE: How the Devastated U.S. Battleships Returned to War After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the US suffered eight battleships, three light cruisers, three destroyers, a training ship, and other smaller vessels sunk or damaged. Hundreds of US aircraft had been damaged or destroyed and 2,403 Americans had been killed. Within a week of the Japanese attack, a great salvage organization had been formed. Very quickly the lightly damaged battleships Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Tennessee had been repaired in naval yards and put back into service to protect the west coast of the USA. Of the eight battleships attacked, all but the Arizona were raised, temporarily patched-up and sent back to naval yards on the west coast of America for final repair and modernization. Main battery guns and ordnance were recovered from the wrecked Arizona, which would then be left to rest on the bottom of the harbor for eternity – as a memorial to the events of that fateful December day. USS Nevada was lifted off the bottom in February 1942, California in March 1942, and West Virginia in June 1942. The capsized Oklahoma, while eventually parbuckled and raised, was found to be too badly damaged to be fully rebuilt. This is the story of the six of the eight battleships that were repaired and returned to service. 1 vol, 352 pgs 2023 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-dj, available late April 2023…..$38.00 OMM Discount 15%: Now $32.30 …here in 2-3 weeks |

<![if !vml]> <![endif]>variousSTRATEGY & TACTICS # 341: Return to Europe: Sicily & Italy July-Nov 1943 (Wargame) Two-player wargame is the sequel to Desert Fox Deluxe that covers the Allied invasion of Sicily and southern Italy. The operation was viewed as only a limited offensive to secure the Mediterranean and force Italy out of the war. The Germans also intended only a limited effort to delay the Allies while a strong defense was established at the far north of the peninsula. Both sides scented greater possibilities in the early going and were drawn into what would become a grueling and expensive campaign. There are two scenarios, each covering all or part of the campaign. One player or team of players commands the Allied forces, the other the Axis. In general terms the Allies are trying to knock Italy out of the war and seize the greatest amount of territory as possible, while the Axis seeks to maintain control of Italian territory for the maximum amount of time. Each game turn represents one month with up to six player impulses in each GT. Each hex represents 6.7 miles (10 kilometers) from side to side. Combat units represent brigades/regiments to companies. Components: One 22 x 34-inch game map, 280 1/2-inch counters, and magazine. 1 vol, 84 pgs 2023 US, DECISION GAMES NEW-pb, available late April 2023…..$50.00 OMM Discount 10%: Now $45.00 …here in 2-3 weeks |

<![if !vml]> <![endif]>variousWORLD AT WAR # 90: Great European War, 1941-1943 (Wargame) Great European War is a two-player game of an alternative World War II in Europe, based on the premise that Adolf Hitler did not order the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941. Instead, the Axis goes over to a naval-air offensive against the British with additional operations in North Africa and the Middle East, while waiting for America to enter the war and keeping a watchful eye on Stalin who may intervene. The game assumes that the Western Allies decide on a Europe First Strategy, diverting forces and logistics from the Pacific. The Axis is under pressure to win the war before economic collapse sets in and the Allies to win before the Japanese seize too much of the Pacific. Given the shift in Axis logistics and planning against the British Empire and the US. only the westernmost Soviet Union is shown on the map, but there is emphasis on North Africa and the Middle East. There are two players: Axis and Allied (to include the Western Allies and the Soviet Union). Both players can develop orders of battle by expending Mobilization Points. The game shows the war in Europe during the early and mid-war years before the full Allied buildup. Both sides will be fighting a war which is markedly different from that fought in the historical event. The game ends in 1943, the time when the Western Allies originally planned to return to Europe. Components: 22×34 inch map, 280 1/2-inch die-cut counters, and magazine. 1 vol, 62 pgs 2023 US, DECISION GAMES NEW-pb, available late April 2023…..$50.00 OMM Discount 10%: Now $45.00 …here in 2-3 weeks |

<![if !vml]> <![endif]>Green, MiachaelSOVIET AIR POWER OF THE COLD WAR Describes and vividly illustrates the Soviet inventory of fighters and bombers as well as trainers, transports, seaplanes, electronic warfare, and ground attack aircraft, as well as an impressive helicopter fleet. In the 1950s, the USSR possessed some 12,000 aircraft. By the 1990s, this had declined to around 8,000, with the reduction largely reflecting the increase in aircraft capability. Includes 200 color illustrations. Aircraft included: The Tu-4 ‘Bull’ was the first Russian nuclear-capable bomber, a copy of the US B-29, which was followed by their range of jet bombers, the Il-28 ‘Beagle,’ Tu-16 ‘Badger,’ and M-4 ‘Bison.’ The prop driven Tu-20 ‘Bear’ and its successors the Tu-22 ‘Backfire’ and finally the Tu-160 ‘Backfire’ were all formidable. The jet-engined MiG-15 fighter entered service in 1948 and proved itself during the Korean War. The MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG-21 followed along with ground-attack aircraft the Su-7 ‘Fitter’ and M-23 ‘Flogger.’ The 1970s saw the MiG-25 ‘Foxbat’ interceptor, followed by the MiG-29 ‘Fulcrum’ and Su-27 ‘Flanker.’ 1 vol, 240 pgs 2023 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj, available late April 2023…..$47.00 OMM Discount 15%: Now $39.95 …here in 2-3 weeks |
