Glad you're all enjoying it. Thank you for the support.

HalfLifeExpert - I really think that you'd have been born into a very different world had the events of the book unfolded. There were many people around the world who, like your father were very concerned in August 91. The news was shocking, scary, mesmerizing. At the time I was a Captain and instructing at our Artillery School, we all made sure we were packed and ready to go, more than at any time in my career - we thought it was going to go big.

Hope your father enjoys the book.

A review would be appreciated, thank you.

As an aside, it is kind of cool to read an alternate history narrative during which I actually exist (I was born in the intervening time between Chapters 9 and 10; May 11 to be precise)

I was born a few months before the August Coup, it's knowing I entered something very, very different that has given me an interest in the Cold War-and thoughts of what could have been.

One copy at least ordered from Italy, delivered from Leipzig [:D]

Only one book for the Mediterranean? [:-]

Well that's the plan. [;)] Northern Fury was supposed to be one book as well [:D], that didn't work out as we thought..

Well that was optimistic [:D]

just finished it, I can't believe how good it was, you guys did an amazing job! Now get back to the typewriters and get book 2 out!

Pretty neat to see how the scenarios played into the book - the one about New York was one of my favorite scens even though at the time I didn't really know much about the game and I don't think the survivors stuff was working very well. I just liked the story the scen told and the special messages that came in. That was years ago and to see how Gunner somehow had this master plan of the total conflict in his head is pretty amazing.

Glad you all are enjoying it!

I was living in Germany during th August coup. My parents were missionaries doing covert ministry behind the Iron Curtain at the time and the coup certainly concerned them. We moved to Moscow in 1992 (I inserted myself and my family into the book in a tiny Easter egg). I’ve often wondered how my childhood would hahve been different if the coup had succeeded. I saw firsthand the results of subsequent coup attempts against Yeltsin. One memory in particular, APCs rolling through my neighborhood in southern Moscow toward the city center, the normally bustling streets deserted. My time there have a me a lot of respect for Russians as a people.

Guys,

Are there any plans of releasing the book as a Nook book through Barnes and Noble? All of my other books are on are through B&N and I saw they have a paperback available.

Looking forward to reading it.

I've finished the book and left an Amazon review, It was Excellent! Every CMANO player must read this book!

Not for at least the next three months. We have signed on to an exclusive agreement with Amazon for the eBook as that gives us access to several of their programs such as their Kindle unlimited and Lending library.


We're still working our way through the pros & cons of these sorts of things but we won't be able to sell Nook Book or Kobi or any other electronic format until that arrangement has expired, it is for 3 months and we may extend it depending on how it works out.


Sorry about that. You're probably aware that there are ways of converting the files, here is an example: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/make-no ... 27494.html

bought and downloaded.. looking forward to read it.

No worries. Thank you for the response. I am slowly realizing I chose the Betmax version of the e-Reader.

Thank you for the link as well. I was not aware of that.

Hay Guys

That’s what got this whole project started!

Received it the same day as the Official Hisotry of the Falkland Campaign, they are thick the same! [:D]

Will read as soon as I finish the Yemeni air wars book I am reading now.

Just a little suggestion to make your next ones even more palatable: add some maps based on CMANO screenshots [;)]

Actually Joel drew all the maps using his cartography skills, top notch I think.

The maps are great, I never have too much of them.
