There are some nice battles in the first book to re-create and the the number of ships aren't huge. A couple of carriers some planes and lots of fun. We are thinking of playing a whole naval campaign based around Hawaii falling to a Japanese invasion and occupation. Should be good fun. |

I was not overly impressed by those two books. I like Turtledove, but he's gotten into a bit of a rut and those two were his weakest to date. For some WW1-era alternate battles, you have "The Battle of Five Navies" and the US conquest of the Sandwich Islands from his "World War" series. Wyatt |

Wyatt, that's the Battle of the Three Navies (US, UK, & Japan) from the Great War series (World War being the WWII where aliens invade). The US battleship getting it's rudder jammed is a bit of a hoot. |

For me, Turtledove's great ideas have always been spoiled by his miserable unlikeable characters.
It's just not worth suffering through his people to get to his scenarios. |

Jakar – you're absolutely right. Great. Now I've combined/confused Turtledove with Tolkien. Next, I'll be wondering why the Orcs running Gringott's bank don't go "Waaaaaargh!" when you make a deposit. Wyatt |

Maybe the Goblins do when Harry Potter isn't there. Who can say? :P |
