Korp - 03-20-2007 Not to mention it's a great read too! :thumbs_up: RE: Shameless Plug - Valor - 03-20-2007 Outstanding, Don :thumbs_up: Do you plan to have your book translated into other languages?

Regards, Stefan RE: Shameless Plug - Jason Petho - 03-20-2007 Excellent, Don!! That is fantastic news!!! Hope you're doing well! Take care and good luck Jason Petho RE: Shameless Plug - Digger - 03-21-2007 Outstanding effort..I had no idea this was even available... Next time I get into a discussion about Patton on the MBs I may just shut up as I am clearly way out of my depth... .:jaw: RE: Shameless Plug - Mike Abberton - 03-21-2007 I have the hardcover and it was certainly an excellent read. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in WW2 in general and in the US ETO in particular. RE: Shameless Plug - Fubar1 - 03-21-2007 I have the hardcover as well and as Panther Bait said an excellent book. Would love to get mine signed someday if you're ever near Chicago on a book tour. But are looking for added fun???? Play some of Don's scenarios that match some of the chapters in the book as I did. That takes CS to a whole new level. "Hitler's Last Gamble" is the one I enjoyed the most. I promise it will be worth it! (Note to Don: The Axis artillery never lets up in that scenario even though it was described in your book as low in suppply. Then again maybe I'm bitter :mad:as I didn't fare as well as the historical Americans ;);)) RE: Shameless Plug - Don Fox - 03-21-2007 First of all.. thanks for all the kind words from everyone on the book...especially Fubar1's comment about the match-up with the scenarios. One of these days, I'll get to an entire series of scenarios that trace the entire campaign; I'm especially eager to do the November offensive. In the meantime, those with an interest should tap into the Troyes scene that Huib and I recently completed. Read along on pages 88-93, play the scenario, and you'll gain an appreciation for the fact that crossing the Seine was no cakewalk. Fubar1, good observation regarding the German arty in "Hitler's Last Gamble". I sure wish that the CS engine allowed for different ammo settings for arty; it would be a great enhancement. I guess I could have reflected the situation by removing units from the OB, but the purist in me got the better of it. :) |
