Gotterdammerung 1813: Guide to Wargaming Napoleon's Greatest Campaign
This PDF is not a complete game system. It is a collection of tools and resources our club used to play our own 1813 campaign. For operational level maneuver across Germany, we used the hex-and-counter boardgame Campaign of Nations, written by John Theissen in 2018. This simple, fast-playing game formed the backbone of our campaign structure. Because we love miniatures, we chose to translate some of our largest battles from the boardgame to miniature tabletop engagements. In this ruleset, we'll explain how we married Campaign of Nations with one of our favorite Napoleonic wargames, Volley & Bayonet. Wirebound softback. $22.00 USD

Wargames…
Bloody Fields of Mollwitz: Wargame
First game in the tactical battle series entitled The Battles of Enlightenment, representing the first battle of Frederick II, King of Prussia. The game is divided into the activation phases, in which the players first can change the order of the commander, and then move troops belonging to the commanders of the wings or infantry line (the same are treated Hussars regiments and artillery). Uses an order system (Stop, March, Attack, March (In March Column), and Develop). Melee combat is based on morale checks. Infantry and artillery fire combat is based on the shooting unit's current morale level – it results in a loss of morale level of the fired-upon opponent. The loss of morale level is indicated with special markers. When the unit loses morale, it is broken. Two-player game with four scenarios.

The Battle of Pinkie 1547: The Last Battle Between the Independent Kingdoms of Scotland & England
The Battle of Pinkie, fought between the English and the Scots in September 1547 near Edinburgh, was the last great clash between the two as independent nations. Both sides' commanders were experienced and previously successful, with an awareness on both sides of contemporary best practice and use of up-to-date weapons and equipment. The Scots and the English armies, however, were markedly different in their composition and in the strategy and tactics they employed. Explores the battlefield, varied forces involved, aims of the commanders, and the close-run nature of the battle. $43.00 USD

Gustavus v Wallenstein: Military Revolution, Rivalry & Tragedy in the Thirty Years War
Examines the conflict, personal rivalry, and contrasts in personality, generalship and command between the two iconic commanders in the Thirty Years War – King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden for the Protestant powers, and Albrecht von Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland. More than just commanders at the tactical level, they were statesmen, military organizers, and strategists on a continental scale. Both commanders represented the 17th Century military revolution in action. Both generals are titanic figures, and their respective deaths – Gustavus heroically in battle, and Wallenstein murdered with the Emperor's compliance – were dramatic high points in the long war. Analyses the contrasting reputations of two of the greatest military figures in modern history, and analyses mistakes as well their triumphs. $63.00 USD

Waging War in America 1775-1783: Operational Challenges
Collection of essays examines various aspects of the problems faced by combatants in the 1775-1783 American War for Independence, and the solutions that they achieved – British training of regulars and raising of Loyalist militia, German adaptation of tactics, French and Spanish logistics and campaigning, and American recruiting and conscription. The European forces adapted much more readily than they are given credit for to the needs of this particular conflict. The British Army adopted a doctrine of open-order light infantry tactics, and raised large numbers of Loyalist troops in the theater of war. The British government obtained the assistance of regiments from several German states, established military organizations that relied heavily on specialized skirmishing troops and chasseur companies composed of picked men after the fashion of the British light infantry. The French government sent an expeditionary force from its regular army, while Spain largely employed colonial troops from its North American holdings; each of these armies faced significant logistical challenges while mounting major campaigns. Not least, of course, the American colonies rose to the monumental task of recruiting, training and supplying an army created specifically for the conflict. $40.00 USD

The Coalitions Against Napoleon: How British Money, Manufacturing & Military Power Forged the Alliances That Achieved Victory
Britain alone could not hope to defeat the might of Napoleonic France which, through enforced conscription, had become a nation in arms. But British leaders had a long history of forging alliances to counter their rivals, and when revolution ravaged France in 1793, and a levee en masse raised a huge patriotic army, it was through a coalition of monarchies that French ambitions were restrained – a coalition made possible by British gold and British industry. During the years 1793 to 1815, the British government formed and underwrote seven coalitions that cost Britain 1,657,854,518 pounds, as the national debt tripled from 290,000,000 pounds to 860,000,00 pounds. Of that, British subsidies to around 30 allies amounted to 65,830,228 pounds, along with staggering amounts of war supplies mass produced by British factories and shipped to allies. $50.00 USD

Japanese Heavy Cruisers: Myoko & Takao Classes
This volume in the ShipCraft series is devoted to the largest cruisers in the Imperial Japanese Navy. Built in defiance of treaty restrictions, they were the fastest and most powerful heavy cruisers of their day, and were heavily engaged in every campaign from Pearl Harbor to the end of the Pacific War. Provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sister-ships and changes in their appearance over their careers. This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring color profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale plans. The modeling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic gallery of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research references – books, monographs, large-scale plans, and relevant websites. $25.00 USD
