Nothing taking my fancy at the moment - which is really annoying....
Anything new out there? WWII ideally about little known campaigns?

I'd be interested to read your thoughts on the book once you've read it.

I also have heard some of his lectures on it (a couple to go) and it's not pretty.

Lonesome Dove and Freefall the second book in the Airborne trilogy. Both audio books.
With a good narrator I'm loving audio books in a big way!

Been flipping through GURPS Basic Set Characters. I'd love to game master a campaign that takes a place in medieval Finland. I need some historical material for it, from
first Swedish crusade to Finland up to
Cudgel War, and whatever is along the way. I especially need information about military equipment of the time & place, what were the small scale conflicts suitable for an RPG, and who were fighting in them? Was there banditry, where/when traveling merchants needed escorts, who were the escorts and what was their equipment? I'm gonna hit the libraries next week if work permits it. In the meantime, have any of you here already read books on the subject?

Heavyweights: The Military Use of Massive Weapons by Leo Marriott and Simon Forty
Interesting book. Some of the pictures/captions are erroneous, according to an Amazon reviewer.

I too await this, though I suspect it will be another tale of how the Regia Marina won the Battle for the Middle Sea.....
