Very interesting campaign. That title was used by a set of war gaming rules(supplement) some years ago too.

Just read the download and it looks very well researched. It is interesting to see a quote from a work of fiction used as the title for a piece of factual history, but I guess that Willing Flesh/Cross of Iron is a seminal piece of fiction. So why not, I'll certainly be purchasing this when it is released.

AT least the fictional Cross of Iron is used only for the title. Imagine if they used the book as a source for information? After all, war fiction (especially WWII fiction) gives you the "true feel" for combat in a way that histories supposedly don't. And yes, for purposes of full disclosure, I've had term papers handed in in my course on military history that use novels and even movies (Saving Private Ryan, for example) as "factual sources." Remember, we live in a media age!
