World at War #17: Leningrad '41
New from Strategy & Tactics Press. World at War #17 featuring the insert game by Joseph Miranda, Leningrad ‘41: What If Manstein Attacked? Articles in the issue include: “Leningrad ‘41: Manstein’s Truly ‘Lost’ Victory”; “The Battle That Won’t End: Operation Anvil-Dragoon”; “The US Navy’s Yangtze River Patrol, 1937-41”; “Britain’s Special Operations Executive”; “Karl May: Hitler’s Favorite Cowboy”; “The Liberation of Vichy Madagascar”; “US & Japanese Pilot Selection Methods”; “Chinese Collaborationist Forces in World War II”; and “USS Isabel: Little Ship, Big Story.” Issue Price: $30.
The overall inspiration here was my reading of Rick Atkinson’s “The Day of Battle,” just before beginning the design work. He emphasized how the Allied high command was really petrified as this campaign kicked off. They were eager to gain the propaganda coup of being able to proclaim they were “back on the continent” while, at the same time, they had no idea what the larger-scale German reaction to that might be.
