Historicon Photos and a World of Tanks Preview

Hi, guys. I posted a report on Historicon to the Armchair General site, with numerous pictures, including one of our own Rick Valentine at the game table and Scott and Jessica in the Dealer’s Room. Overall, I have to say I was pretty happy with the new location. The 100-degree temperatures outside put a strain on its AC, but it kept on blowin’.

I also posted a preview of the World of Tanks MMO. You may want to check it out to see if you want to get into the closed beta, which is still accepting players, and try the game for free.

Iwo Jima

For a few years now I have been thinking about how to run an Iwo Jima game. The battle lasted 36 days and is one of the most important in Marine Corps history. Over the years I’ve been collecting photos, reading books and peering at maps and satelite intelligence. Here are some photos I’ve collected. I’ll be writing up more about my research on this battle over the next few months as lead up to the lecture I am giving at Historicon this summer. Enjoy! –Pete Mancini
