Strategy & Tactics Quarterly #12 - Dreadnoughts w/ Map Poster
|
|
|
Dreadnoughts – Big-Gun Era of Naval Warfare: Few weapons have come and gone so precipitously as the modern battleship. HMS Dreadnought, launched in 1906, instantly made every other battleship obsolete. Though only a single major dreadnought battle was ever fought, at Jutland in 1916, the race continued after the Great War. The sheer expense drove the leading naval powers to the conference table to limit the size of ships and fleets, providing an opening for pariah nations, the soon-to-be Axis, to leap ahead in battleship design, only to be overtaken by greater Allied shipbuilding capacity and the maturation of the aircraft carrier.

Business in the Trenches by David Schroeder From SPW Publishing
Business in the Trenches
is about how people make the same mistakes over and over. It is about
learning from those mistakes so that you don't make them. It is about
how to do better than people did in the past in similar situations.
Failure to make the right decision can spell doom.

Kaiser’s War in the East is a strategic level simulation of World War I on the Eastern Front, 1914-17. This is a two-player game; One player controls the Central Powers, the other player controls the Allies. The concept of “victory points” (VP) is central to play of game. Players begin each scenario with a designated number of VP. They gain new VP as a result of achieving objectives; they lose VP when they lose units in combat. They may expend them to gain reinforcements and carry out certain actions. To win the game you must have more VP than your opponent, so play is a balancing act between expending VP and attaining objectives.
