Forgotten Front: Italy, June 1944–May 45 On 5 June 1944, Rome fell to the Allies. It was the first Axis capital to do so, and it should have been huge news. However, D-Day took place the next day. As one reporter put it at the time, Allied forces in Italy—and across the Mediterranean—suddenly “become performers without an audience.” Italy remained a backwater for the rest of the war, but here is our analysis of its continued strategic importance.

Pensacola & the American Revolution in the Southwest In 1779, Louisiana was a remote colony far from the centers of power of the Spanish Empire. Ceded to Spain by the French after the Seven Years War, the Spanish saw it as a defensive barrier protecting their more valuable colonies to the south. Over the next two years, however, Louisiana and the Gulf coast became a critical theater in the American Revolution. Here is our analysis of that strategic evolution.

11 Days War is a two-player wargame, covering the final Central Powers offensive on the East Front, February to May 1918 (Operation Faustschlag), to include both the initial 11 days of offensive operations against the Bolsheviks and the ensuing pursuit in the Ukraine. The game pits the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, their allies) against the Bolsheviks (or Reds, plus their allies). Additionally, there are third power forces called Greens which may come under the control of either player. There are three scenarios, representing different starting situations. The game system models warfare in the chaotic situation of the Eastern Front during the opening of the Russian Civil War. Further, the movement rules model the situation of operating in later Winter and Spring thaw, where railroads were vital.
