Box 21598 | Bakersfield CA 93390 | decisiongames.com The Dragon: Chinese Special Forces By Terence Co Since soon after its founding on 1 August 1927, during the Nanchang uprising, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has conducted stealthy operations, even though it originated as a conventional military force organized from rebelling Kuomintang (KMT) National Revolutionary Army (NRA) units. From 1928 to 1945 the PLA had to adopt guerrilla strategies and tactics in order to survive attacks from the KMT as well as regional warlords and the Japanese. The “people’s war” concept pioneered by the PLA during that time emphasized a multi-stage insurgency strategy. Tactics included blending in with the populace, propaganda, infiltration, the creation of base areas behind enemy lines, sabotage, and attacking enemy rear-area military and economic targets. All those are the hallmarks of what are considered “special operations” by Western militaries. Even so, prior to 1949 the PLA had few units that could be considered special operations forces (SOF) by those same Western militaries. Rather, a multitude of regular and irregular units were trained to perform those missions. Dispatch #26 | d e c i s i o n g a m e s 1 ❖ #11 | GREEK CIVIL WAR issUe monTH 12 JUL 2014 #286 | SPARTA VS.

Pledges are a commitment to purchase a game when published and payment information is required in order to make pledges however payment will not be collected until a game starts collating in our warehouse. As pledge support builds, we’ll add more detailed descriptions, sample artwork, and rules drafts to the web site. Pledge orders will receive up to a 25% discount from the final retail price. We will provide estimated pricing based on the latest information we have about the game components and print pricing however the final price is subject to change (largely due to the variable costs of paper and shipping). When a project goes to our printers, we send out an e-mail indicating a project is close to completion. This is to confirm payment methods and credit numbers and expirations dates in case customers need to make last minute adjustments. It is critical to the pledge program that customers respond immediately to this notification (our “final boarding” call). Credit cards are not charged and checks not deposited until a project is in our warehouse being collated and prepared for shipping. The Decision Games Pledge Program has published many games. For your convenience, we are listing the projects already in the works for the next year in the first section of the pledge list. Beyond the next year, there is no specific timeframe for publication as each game varies significantly in size and complexity, and the availability of outside part-time developers to work on some titles means a longer timeframe. We generally expect to publish two to four games each year with the priority given to the games with the most pledges. We may publish a game from further down the rankings when we need a good fit to optimize component gang-printing. The pledge games are divided into the same eras we use for Strategy & Tactics and World at War games. Many of the proposed games have longer descriptions or a complete web page with sample artwork. Games that earn sufficient support work their way up the rankings until they are in the top 10 and begin the process of design, development, artwork, and printing. Game proposals that are not making sufficient progress are dropped to make way for new game proposals. To pledge your support, check your list, make changes or updates to your list or customer information, and use our new online system to select the game proposals you wish to pledge in the pledge area of the Decision Games Shop. PLEDGE PROGRAM UPDATE (01 Mar 14) There are a lot of games and projects releasing in the next two years and all of these projects are at the top of the pledge list to make them easy to find. Pledging will end once individual games are ready to start shipping so make sure you go to the DG Shop and set up your new pledge account and enter your updated list. Releases in 2014 We are releasing two boxed games in 2014: Atlantic Wall and D-Day at Tarawa. Atlantic Wall is the largest game we have published since WITP with 7 maps and 16 counter sheets. We have been working diligently on the testing and proofing of this game for over two years and are very excited to see it “hitting the beach” this June. The GOSS system rules have been thoroughly updated and can be used with the previously published games in the series: Wacht am Rhein and Hurtgen: Hell’s Forest. D-Day at Tarawa is the sequel to the popular D-Day at Omaha Beach by John Butterfield and uses similar game mechanics. 2015 & beyond The games currently in development and play testing for publication in 2015 are D-Day at Peleliu, Alamo to Ap- 10 pomattox and Wellington’s Victory. D-Day at Peleliu is the third in the D-Day series and looks at another hard fought invasion. Alamo to Appomattox covers the American Civil War with Krieg-style strategy card system and includes introductory scenarios for the War of Texas Independence and the Mexican-American War as well as a card based scenario Conflict & Compromise of the politics leading up to the ACW. Additional scenarios allow for the ACW to start in 1853, 1857, or 1865. Wellington’s Victory is an update of the classic SPI monster game of Waterloo. Folio & Mini Group 2014-2015. We are working on another large group of folios and mini-games for release in Q4 2014 and into 2015. We’ll have an overview of them in Dispatch #27 in the Fall. So far, we are very pleased with the reaction to the new mini-games and the Quick Play Musket & Saber rules as well as the new solitaire F&M system game on Iwo Jima. Games to be published in the next 12 months 1. Atlantic Wall (SPI). The new Wacht am Rhein (GOSS) system will be applied to the update of this game. The original game is also being expanded to include Operations Cobra and Goodwind as well as several smaller scenarios (some use only one map and are ideal for those who want a smaller, shorter game or a place to get introduced to the system). Seven maps, 16 counter sheets. Joe Youst. Est. Retail: $240 (Est. Pledge $180). 2. D-Day at Tarawa. Based on John Butterfield’s CSR Award-winning D-Day at Omaha Beach system, this solitaire game presents the critical days of fighting at platoon and company scale. You command the invading American forces against the dug-in Japanese defenders, controlled by the game system. Tarawa covers the landings on Betio Island in November 1943, and the operations of the US 2nd Marine and 27th Infantry divisions to clear the Island—the first heavily contested landing of the Pacific War. The battle for this tiny island raged for four days and when it was finally over, less than 200 of the 5,000 Japanese defenders remained alive. One map, two counter sheets, and 55 cards. John Butterfield. Est. Retail $60 (Est. Pledge $45). 3. D-Day at Peleliu. Peleliu focuses on the landings by the US 1st Marine Division in September 1944, and their bitter two-day struggle to capture the airfield on the southern end of the island. A longer campaign scenario allows the player to extend the action to the rugged terrain of “Bloody Nose Ridge.” Opposed by the reinforced Japanese 14th Infantry Division, the battle resulted in the highest US casualty rate of any in the Pacific war. Like D-Day at Omaha Beach, both new games feature landing hazards, variable enemy positions and fields of fire encoded into the game maps, US weapon types vs Japanese defensive preparations, and a random event-driven narrative. Plus new features unique to the Pacific Theater such as US naval and aerial bombardment, flame throwers, off-shore reefs and defensive positions, Japanese tank attacks, tunnel network movement and Banzai charges. One map, two counter sheets, and 55 cards. John Butterfield. Est. Retail $60 (Est. Pledge $45). 4. Alamo to Appomattox. A2A is a grand strategy game of the American Civil War in the style of Krieg! Maps of the Eastern and Western Theaters include terrain, strategic objectives, roads/rail, naval zones, navigable and nonnavigable rivers, cities and locales, supply centers and other features affecting the game. Counters represent the corps and armies of the war. Cards provide the strategic-politicaleconomic direction for each side. Strategies are many and varied but the ultimate goal is to demoralize the opposing faction’s population through military, economic and political victories while sustaining your own population’s will to continue the fight. The players each choose a Strategy Card Dispatch #26 | d e c i s i o n and an Addendum Card before each new season and may opt to play an additional card as a diplomatic response to certain events. These cards lead to new military units, leaders, and replacement steps and result in socio-economic and political events. The events include the declaration of Emancipation, the elections of 1862 and 1864, and the possible intervention by European nations. Events are often double-edged swords, sometimes providing a military advantage while negatively affecting the popular will to fight. In addition, both sides may attempt to develop and manufacture new technologies, both historical and speculative, such as ironclads, submarines, torpedoes, observation balloons, repeating rifles and Gatling guns. Both sides can introduce espionage and even sabotage, which can have many unexpected consequences, including assassination. Scenarios are included for each year as well as the entire ACW. Beyond the ACW proper, there are two introductory scenarios: Alamo, a mini-game of the War for Texas and Manifest Destiny, a Mexican-American War mini-game. These short campaigns will give new players an excellent place to start playing and veteran players will have two scenarios that can be finished in an evening. In addition there is Crisis & Compromise, a card play oriented game of the period from the end of the Mexican-American War to the start of the Civil War. Though little combat occurs, the card play covers the actions inspiring events, leaders and regional positions (Border States) that affect the allegiance of states to a region and the ability of military leaders at the start of the Civil War. Crisis & Compromise can be played alone or used to create alternative starting situations for the ACW. Three maps, 560 small counters, 200 cards. Barry Altshuler. Est. Retail: $160 (Est. Pledge $120). 5. Wellington’s Victory (NEW!/SPI Update). An update of the SPI classic grand tactical simulation of Waterloo. This will retain the feel of the original—the fragility of dense units in the open, the efficacy of different arms and formations at different times—while addressing some of the shortcomings of the original. Gone is the asymmetric turn sequence which so hampered the Prussians and gave cavalry near-immunity from artillery: in its place, a simplified sequence that retains the continual interplay between sides. Gone too are the step reduction markers; units will be presented on several counters so losses can reflect diminution of both numbers and morale. Large units—such as the Nassauers, Prussians, British Guards, and most cavalry regiments—will have two or more counters in play. Formations for infantry, cavalry, and artillery will be handled with markers and will reflect doctrinal differences between the armies. Skirmishers will be tamed, providing neither the spearhead of the offensive nor the bulwark of the defense. Entirely new rules provide for hidden movement and optional reinforcements for both sides. For details [and progress reports], go to the CSW web site, Napoleonic folder, for Wellington’s Victory 2015. Four maps, eight counter sheets. Chris Perello. Est. retail $200 (Est. Pledge $150). potential GAMES for 2016-2017 6. Free Mars (SPI). From the colonies of Mars to the orbital stations of Earth and to the outposts on Jupiter, the cry is heard. Free Mars! is a science fiction wargame of revolt across the Solar System in the late 21st century. Earth’s colonies are rising up against an oppressive Terran Federation. The system is based on SPI’s Battlefleet Mars, but with additional forces and units representing several types of spaceships, ground units and special forces. Special weapons include artificial intelligence missiles, cybernetic attacks and enhancement of human warriors via nano-technology. Cards representing the various military-political-economic groups that are maneuvering for power are included. The map shows the Solar System out to Jupiter, with displays for each planet.

AE/EK includes more cards, counters, and scenarios about TK and DS including the Seekrieg naval expansion. Small maps, 280 counters, 100 cards, 48-page booklet. Thomas Prowell/ Alan Emrich. Est. Retail: $40 (Est. Pledge $30). in central Asia. There would be specialized units for the Macedonian Companions. Roman legions would have their Hastati, Principes, and Triarii. Leaders would include ‘greats’ such as Alexander, Hannibal and Scipio, as well as not-sogreats. Joseph Miranda. Est. retail: $80 (Est. pledge: $60). 8. Campaign for North Africa (SPI). There is no paperwork or data tracking in this remake of the SPI classic; streamlined but realistic procedures allow the realistic portrayal of unit assignment and supply expenditure. Command and control cards drive the action, enabling a player to tailor his emphasis on building units, gathering intelligence, conducting operations, or building up supplies. The map has been given a graphic update. The air war is updated and enhanced and the OOB presents the latest research with all units at a battalion level (armor in companies and air units in squadrons). Now it’s the ultimate North Africa simulation. Joseph Miranda. Est. Retail $200 (Est. Pledge $150). 12. Rome & the Barbarians is a grand strategic-level, Krieg!-style game describing the era of Rome’s expansion and later decline across Europe and Africa, from 300 BCE to 500 CE. The game centers on the Roman wars with the Barbarian Tribes and Civilized Nations from the time of Rome’s first consolidation of the Italian peninsula, through its expansion as a Republic and later as an Empire, to the Fall of Rome at the hands of the Barbarian tribes. Multi-step legion and infantry units are built by adding together basic infantry one-step units. Many special units exist including cavalry, heavy cavalry, siege units, fortress (entrenched camps), archers and naval units. A basic turn represents 25 years, but periodic Leader Turns dominated by Great Leaders, compress turns into five year periods. Strategy Cards provide replacement steps, units, leaders, markers and also political events. These may result in conflict between Rome and other factions as well as unintended political, economic and social events, including the possibility of Roman Civil War. Rome’s ability to create a road network determines both unit supply and movement. The success of Rome’s control of the map, compared with the Barbarian player’s ability to challenge that expansion determines the game’s winner. Maps cover Europe from Britain to the Northern coast of Africa and from Spain to Parthia (Persia). Pieces represent the Great Leaders, infantry, legions, and cavalry of the era, as well as an assortment of markers and Strategy Cards. Two maps, two counter sheets, one deck of 110 cards. Barry Altshuler. Est. Retail: $120 (Est. Pledge $90). 9. Hand of Fate: The Vietnam War. Players choose Campaign Cards that would generate reinforcements and political events. The Campaign Cards would replace the complex political rules often required to simulate the Vietnam conflict. Players can choose different levels of escalation that will generate varying levels of forces, at a trade-off in political support and military efficiency. The Communist player could choose between low level terrorism, mid-level guerrilla warfare, or a full scale Tet-style offensive. The Allied player could choose to intervene with just US special forces, or mobilize for an all-or-nothing invasion of Communist sanctuaries in Laos and Cambodia. Game units will be brigades/regiments and divisions/Viet Cong fronts, rated for their conventional and unconventional capabilities. The map will cover all of Indochina.

Eagles: Battles of the Roman Empire (NEW!) is a game covering the battles of the Roman Empire from c. 100 BC to c. 600 AD at the tactical level. The game would use three different sized units: rectangular for groups of Cohorts and other linear units; large to represent barbarian hordes and other massed formations; and small for leaders and specialized formations. The game map would use large hexagons, and the positioning of units within the hex would represent the formation. Thus, it will be possible to graphically show the various number of lines of cohorts in a legion. Units will represent all major troops types, such as legionaries, auxiliaries, cavalry, elephants, barbarians, ballistae, cataphracts, and so forth. Game scenarios will be constructed by using various mixes of units. There will be at least 50 different scenarios, reconstructed by the designer, to include the battles of Julius Caesar, Agricola, Trajan, Marcus Aurelius, Claudius Gothicus, Constantine, Julian, Stilicho and Belisarius among many others. There will be special rules to show the tactics of each era. Thus, Julius Caesar’s legions will operate differently from Julian’s field armies. Leaders will provide command control, and army morale will be important. The game will include two maps showing various kinds of typical battlefields. The game will include historical notes so players can develop their own scenarios. Joseph Miranda. Est. retail: $80 (Est. pledge: $60). 11. Titans: Battles of the Greek Empire (NEW!) is a game covering the battles of the Greek, Macedonian and Roman Republic eras, 500 BC to 100BC, using a system similar to Eagles (above). The game would use three different sized units: large to represent barbarian hordes and other massed formations; rectangular for linear formations; and small for leaders and specialized formations. The game would include such great battles as Marathon, Arbela, Cannae and Zama, as well as going into terra incognita with Alexander’s actions 13. Imperium: the Wars of the Roman Empire (NEW!). This will cover the campaigns of the early Roman Empire, from the reign of Augustus through Marcus Aurelius, on the operational scale. One player commands the Romans, the other the Barbarians. Game play would be driven by cards which will generate command control for each side as well as special events. The Romans will generally have an advantage here, but their foes can spring a Teutorburg style surprise which can unhinge the entire Empire. The game would be played in scenarios, each representing a major war or invasion. Units will be legions, groups of auxiliaries, barbarian hordes, siege trains, fleets, and others. Legions can be broken down into vexillations (task forces). All major leaders will be included, as well as generic minor commanders. The map will stretch from Britain to Persia. Scenarios will be of varying size: mini-games (such as Agricola’s campaign in Britannia); major wars (Trajan versus the Parthians); and continent wide conflagrations (Marcus Aurelius versus everyone).

The Anglo-French naval struggle combining elements of SPI’s CA, TAHGC’s War at Sea and XTR’s Red Sky Morning. The map will cover from the Caribbean to the eastern Mediterranean. Combat will use an evolution of WaS’s and CA’s simple systems, with modifications to account for the tactics of the age of sail. Annual game turns are driven by RSM’s system of impulses that shift unpredictably from player to player, depicting the uncertainties of the era’s naval warfare.

The German Navy construction plan (Plan “Z”) and the Japanese accelerated naval production In violation of the Washington Treaty (plus the Italian Navy) would have made the Axis the most powerful navies in the world had World War II not started in 1939. But the powerful Yamato class and Bismarck class task forces build by the Japanese and Germans would not have gone unchallenged by the Allies. The US Montana class battleships and Essex carriers plus Great Britain’s Vanguard class battleships and Centaur carriers would have set the stage for the greatest naval clash ever seen. The outcome of World War II would have been determined on the vast oceans of the world.

Central to the game will be a deck of operations cards for each player, representing the planning and logistical operations for major operations. For examples, the Allies will have a card for Market-Garden which can be traded off for another card giving logistical support to Patton’s drive to the Rhine. The Germans will have cards which, when used individually, will give them reinforcements, or when combined can be used to launch an Ardennes Offensive. Game units will be divisional with breakdowns into Allied task forces and German kampfgruppen. Airpower is represented with a simple system.

Panzerarmee Afrika: Decision in North Africa (NEW!). This is the entire campaign in North Africa/Middle East, 1940-43. The game map will stretch from the Persian Gulf to Casablanca. The game can be played in individual scenarios for major operations (such as Rommel’s initial offensive or Operation Crusader), or as one big campaign. The game will emphasize simplicity. It will use a deck of cards to generate specific operations, which will in turn give a player additional move-fight impulses. Units will be divisions with brigade and regimental breakdowns. Airpower will be represented at the operational level, with air units flying specific missions. Also included will be a potential invasion of Malta, optional reinforcements, pro-Axis coups in the Allied rear. Leaders will be a major factor, and having the right commander at the right place can make a major difference. The game will have a wide range of historical what-ifs: for example, the Germans can commit the 7th Flieger (Airborne) Division to taking Malta in 1941 instead of Crete. The British can launch Operation Acrobat in early 1941 using the forces which intervened in Greece to instead invade Tripolitania. There would also be a what-if scenario based on Hitler giving North Africa a higher priority for reinforcement and logistics, with a comparative Allied response, including early US intervention. Panzerarmee Afrika will give wargamers the opportunity to decide the fate of North Africa. Two maps, two counter sheets, one deck of cards. Joseph Miranda. Est. Retail: $80 (Est. Pledge $60). Modern 32. Battle for South Vietnam: 1964-1975. Battle for Vietnam is a two-player card-driven strategy game covering the war in Indochina from the time of first US direct involvement until the fall of Saigon. The map covers the entirety of South Vietnam as well as border regions of neighboring countries. Combat units represent Allied and Communist forces on the regimental-divisional level, and a Support Point track abstractly indicates the level of artillery and air support available to the players. The goal of the game as the Allied player is to prevent the fall of South Vietnam without losing excessive prestige and support within the world community (“losing face”), while the goal of the Communist player is to end US involvement as soon as possible so that he may face and defeat South Vietnam alone. BSVN is fast paced with a great deal of tension, options, and decision making throughout the game. One map, one sheet of large counters, 110 cards. Stephen van Hoak. Est. retail: $60. (Est.

This will have several different races of sentient beings, each with their own psychology, reflected in different capabilities and objectives. Game units will include: star forces (four ships each), star gates, and star soldier strike commands. There will also be some specialized units, such as local forces of varying capability, weapons packs for star forces, and nova inducing conversion bombs for when things get really desperate. A deck of cards will generate specialized capabilities for each sentient race as well as game events, allowing for the linking of individual scenarios into one grand game. One map, one counter sheet, one deck of cards. Joseph Miranda. (Est. retail: $60; est. pledge: $45). 34. Outreach covers the conquest of the Galaxy. Each player will represent a different sentient race, each with its own special capabilities. Players will have various types of star forces which can be used to explore galactic regions and engage in combat. The game map will depict the entire Milky Way Galaxy, divided up into hexagons. Star forces explore a hex by drawing a card from a deck which will gives local star system resources, types of sentient populations (if any), and unique conditions (such as collapsars which can be used as ersatz star gates). Each card will have a corresponding marker which will be placed on the map in the explored hexagon. The game will also include an interface with Star Force for tactical resolution of battles. One map, one counter sheet, one deck of cards. Joseph Miranda. (Est. retail: $60; est. pledge: $45). 35. Star Soldier covers combat actions between elite star soldier forces fighting for control of planets in the Star Force universe. Units will represent several types of star soldiers, support platforms, ground forces, and orbital support. Each of the sentient races from the Star Force universe will have its own separate set of capabilities. There will also be various types of hostile aliens for the occasional bug hunt (and the bugs may have hidden abilities which can really bite back!). The game will use geomorphic maps to portray different types of environs, as well as a space map for scenarios set around assaulting enemy star gates. Cards will provide individual leaders, random events and secret objectives. Geomorphic maps, one counter sheet, one deck of cards. Joseph Miranda. (Est. retail: $60; est. pledge: $45). 36. Contact with Krishna. Players must explore a giant alien spaceship which has entered the solar system. There are two general types of cards in the game. One is a set of deck cards which are laid out face down to form the interior of the spaceship. The other is a set of exploration cards, which players use to interact with the spaceship. Each player will have a marker representing their exploration team. As each team moves throughout the ship, deck cards are tuned face up. Depending on what the deck represents, different types of interactions become possible. Players resolve these interactions by playing special exploration cards. Certain cards can be combined with other cards for enhanced effects. There are several objectives, including determining the origin of the ship, its purpose, and how to maneuver it. The game can be played solitaire, competitively with two or more players, or cooperatively with teams of players. Two decks of 55 cards. Joseph Miranda. (Est. retail: $28; est. pledge: $21).

Devil’s Due: Hitler’s Strategic Decisions in WW2 uses new data made available since the end of the Cold War, as well as the analytical techniques developed in wargaming. For example, a close study of the Stalingrad campaign reveals that Axis forces actually outnumbered Soviet, and it was superior Red Army operational art that won.

Bushido & Kamikaze: Strategy & Tactics in the PTO will reexamine many of the common assumptions about the PTO, using analytical methods developed in Strategy & Tactics and World at War. Chapters will cover topics such as: Bushido; Japanese tactics are often considered to be motivated by a samurai spirit, but the reality was that the Japanese military was a modern disciplined fighting force, organized to fight a particular type of war, not relive medieval glories. Carrier battles; these are usually seen as the major turning points, but the reality is that there were far more surface battles, and surface ships sunk more combatants than did carrier planes. Japanese naval doctrine; this called for the fighting of the decisive battles yet Japanese naval deployments after the early months of the war tended to be fragmented, thereby throwing away their chance to gain the ascendancy in the Pacific. The sharp end; a comparison of Japanese and Allied infantry divisions demonstrates that the Japanese had as much combat power as did the Americans and Britishbut Japanese tactical failures were often a result of lacking supply in island battles such as Guadalcanal, or losing air cover as at Imphal. The air war; the collapse of Japanese airpower is usually blamed on declining pilot quality, but other factors such as poor ground support, abysmal intelligence, and a lack of air-sea rescue service, also had their hand. The CBI theater, Japans lost victory; the Japanese largely attained their objectives in the China-Burma-India theater of operations yet could not exploit that for ultimate victorythis will explore some what-ifs. Kamikazes; the historical record shows that the various Japanese suicide forces were not a revival of samurai tradition but rather a desperation measure, one which was opposed by many in the Japanese high command.

High Ground: The Art of Using Terrain in Battle. Each chapter focuses on one battle (not necessarily from any particular era) in which a single piece of terrain had an impact on a battle: e.g. high ground for observation, high ground as psychology (the Pratzen at Austerlitz), a river as a curtain of maneuver, etc. In some cases the terrain surprises both sides, in others one commander makes a conscious decision to use it.

There’s no computer / AI player in the game; players make all the critical decisions. You decide on production schedules, declare war on neutral nations, and control the ground, air, sea and strategic forces of the Axis, Allied and Soviet powers in order to change or recreate the events of the war. The game is a division-level simulation, with some brigade and corps-sized ground units. Play takes place on a 159x133 hex map of Europe and North Africa. Naval power and air power are abstracted as points rather than on-map units, including: surface fleet, U-Boat, transport, amphibious assault, tactical air and strategic bomber points. Battle on three fronts — War in the West (two-player, Allies versus Axis); War in the East (two- player, Soviets versus Axis); and War in Europe (three-player, Axis versus Allies & Soviets).

George Washington is often thought of as a ‘Fabian’ general, a commander who avoided pitched battle and instead nibbled at the heels of the British army. Hogwash, General Washington sought decisive battle again and again; at Boston, New York, Trenton/Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and finally Yorktown. This book will be an examination of the general’s overall war strategy and how he used small victories like Trenton to keep the colonies fighting. The book will delve into his tactics, how they led to disaster at places like New York and Brandywine, and how he learned from his mistakes. The book will also discuss Washington’s indispensable men, generals like Nathanael Greene, Henry Knox and Daniel Morgan. Will Stroock. Est. retail: $35 (Est. Pledge $28). to 39.

The book will include several historical case studies, such as the Roman use of combined land-naval forces; the Guadalcanal campaign in World War II; the US SEALORDS campaign in the Mekong Delta; and current operations in the Middle East conflict. The book will look at land, sea and air forces, as well as special operations forces and other instruments of national power. One aspect will be the development of “bottom-up” joint operations, where local commanders decide work out their own command relationships, as opposed to “top-down” situations.

Malta; the Axis failure to take the island occurred not in 1942 as Rommel was preparing to drive on Alexandria, but in 1941 at the start of the desert campaign. The logistics myth; the Axis dilemma was not in getting supplies to North Africa their real failure was in other areas related to logistics. The air war; German and Italian air support often made the difference between victory and defeat on the ground, but seldom appears in the order of battle. Combined operations and the lack thereof; both side’s ground, air and naval commanders fought separate campaigns thereby throwing away the chance for an early victory. Leadership, command control and organization: the Germans started with a decisive edge in these areas and the ultimate British victory was not in the materiel buildup but rather in them catching up in the non-material factors. Odds and ends; various special operations forces and unique forces such as the Tobruk Raiders, Ramcke and his paratroopers, and the curious career of Sonderverband 288.
