What makes this book really enjoyable is that the author is a wargamer, and gamed the scenarios he postulates to ensure they were realistic. What that means is that scenarios literally fall out of this book, including orders of battle. I'm only on the third chapter so far, but loving it. The diversions from historical timeline are clearly delineated, and the compounding effects are easy to follow.

This one I need, he must have read my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting sounding. I'll put this on the list to read.
ReplyDeleteAmazon has them cheap, may have to pick up a copy to read on my next order. Hitler was insane but also a very brilliant man, you don't end up on the cover of Time Magazine without good reason. If a few things went different we would all be speaking German. Oddly, English is a split language based on the grounds of the Germanic language.
ReplyDeleteOoo!! this sounds extremely interesting, I'll check it out, cheers!!
ReplyDeleteWritten by a wargamer you say?hmmm, worth checking out then. Full of possibilities there
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great read, I might have to look into this.
ReplyDeleteSounds really cool Paul.
ReplyDeleteYep, one for my wish list. I remember Bruce QUARRIE modern rule systems from the 80's. Fairly decent, so I'll look forward to this.
