Team Yankee Back in Print
The unforgettable Team Yankee novel, by Harold Coyle is back in print. Besides the Kindle version, which has been around for a while, now you can pre-order it in a physical book by Casemate Publishers.
Last week my son and I visited Historicon 2016 (a miniatures gaming convention) and dropped by For the Historian's stand.
For the Historian's stand at Historicon 2016. That's where I found just a couple of copies of Team Yankee. Thanks to the owner for saving me one.
Historicon is always a great convention. We usually go for one day and hang around gaming tables and stands, even when we don't play at all.
Coming back to Team Yankee, the new edition is revised and expanded. I am re-reading the book yet again, and I am hoping to reach those passages and corrections.
Cheers,

Scourge of War Waterloo: Quatre Bras - Review
A smaller battle than Waterloo, packed with historical quality and nail-biting Napoleonic warfare, Quatre Bras is not only a great wargame but a tour de force on generalship and history.

Scourge of War is a 3D continuous time, tactical/grand tactical wargame. I had the pleasure of reviewing the Waterloo edition a while back.

The commands given to the player are brigades (1 scenario, Allied side), divisions (2 scenarios, Allied and French), and Corps (2 scenarios, Allied and French).
In both scenarios where the player is in command of Corps, the typical challenges of command and proper use of tactics of the era are unrelentlessly evident.
Scenario 5 puts the player in the role of the Duke of Wellington. The scenario lasts 3 hours of simulated time and starts at 2:00 PM. The forces available short at the...
