I recently purchased Battlefront's Dogs & Devils, which focuses on Anzio but gives a lot of info regarding the Italian campaigns post-Sicily to the march towards Rome. I mentioned Wargame Illustrated's coverage of the supplement not long ago and I can say that I think the book lives up to the sneak peak and additional material found in the magazine.
I have long wanted to build a unit based on the Herman Goring Division, and they make an appearance in Dogs & Devils, along with the US 3rd Infantry Divsion and the Allied Devil's Brigade (I believe James Garner appeared in a movie about them back in the 60s). They all look like interesting forces to put on the table.
I love history, mythology, and games. My favorite projects allow me to mix them liberally and turn readers onto something new and different. When it comes to games, players ought to do more than roll dice, flip a card, or move a piece – they ought to feel immersed. I look for this in my favorite pastimes and I bring this attitude to the table and my work. This blog features my thoughts and experiences about the games I play and my contributions to the hobby.
