Back to History

I wanted to note that as September approaches, we are nearing the 66th anniversary of the onset of WWII in Europe. I do not think that any other human conflict in history has had as great an impact on how we see the world than this one.

As someone who is interested on conflict simulation (or wargaming), this has to be one of the most written about and gamed subjects in that community. I have not found very many games or books that discuss the early war but it is a topic I am interested in.

On other fronts (?) my life is settling into days of study and driving my dad back and forth for his various check-ups at the hospital. I hope that the cancer will be gone by the time I am inducted into the service. It would also be nice to have a little time to spend in my hobby. Maybe I can get a couple hours later this week. Perhaps I will pull out the old
Panzer Command series and play the campaign in Poland that is depicted above.
