Desert Storm Revisited
EDITORIAL posted on 30 MAR 2003 by Bill Wilder
"With all the furor over the current war against Iraq, one cannot help but allow his memory to drift back to a time over 12 years ago, when an even stronger Coalition Force, including nations of the Arab world, joined in a noble effort to throw Saddam Hussein's occupying armies out of Kuwait."

Order of Battle: Allied Ground Forces of Operation Desert Storm
BOOK REVIEW posted on 5 DEC 2002 by Chaim Krause
"I don’t think it will spoil the ending if I tell you now that I think Thomas Dinackus has hit the nail on the head and produced a milestone book that will most likely be the definitive source for Operation Desert Storm OOB info for many years to come."
Desert Skies
BOOK REVIEW posted on 1 JUL 2002 by Jason Logue
"The author flew in the Persian Gulf as "Ghostrider 6", a company commander of an attack helicopter unit tasked in direct support of the Allied armoured advance. Yet Desert Skies isn't about the "Ghostriders". Instead, it tells the story of the "Champions," a fictional unit involved in the same task."
Total Air War
PC GAME REVIEW posted on 3 JUL 2001 by Gary
Total Air War not only puts the player into a Lieutenant’s flightsuit to fly the F-22 fighter and the Captain’s flightsuit as an AWACS controller, it also puts the player into a Major’s battle dress uniform (BDU) as a theater campaign planner on the Joint Force Air Component Commander’s (JFACC) staff.

Operational Art of War - A Century of Warfare
PC GAME REVIEW posted on 25 JUN 2000 by Jeff Vitous
After various gold, platinum, and "game of the year" editions, The Operational Art of War - A Century of Warfare seems to be the all-encompassing complete package. If you have been putting off purchasing any of The Operational Art of War products waiting for this date: rejoice, it has come. If you're missing either The Operational Art of War: Volume 1 (World War II and Korea), or The Operational Art of War: Volume II (modern), resist the lure of the bargain bin editions; this is the one you want. If you are an active play-by-email player, updates to the game engine will require ownership of A Century of Warfare when playing against like-equipped opponents.
Top Military Figures of the Past 1000 Years
HISTORICAL ARTICLE posted on 9 JAN 2000 by Jeff Vitous
We recently asked our staff, some game developers, and other well known people in the computer war game hobby to name their top military figures over the past 1000 years. We also invited them to explain their choices in as many or as few words as they see fit, and the results range from one-liners to complete essays.
Last 1000 Years of War in Review
HISTORICAL ARTICLE posted on 26 DEC 1999 by Jeff Vitous
Everyone seems bent on a millennium celebration this year. It has been 1000 years since Lief Ericsson discovered the Western Hemisphere, 2000 years since the Christian figurehead Jesus Christ celebrated his 6th birthday (yes, he was born in 7 BCE) and 3000 years since Egypt’s 21st dynasty suffered a civil war during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses XI. 4000 years ago, the Hittite Kingdom coalesced from Indo-European tribes, 5000 years ago, Phoenicians settled the Syrian cities of Tyre and Sidon. 6000 years ago saw the dawn of history, the Paleolithic era ending with the settlements of Babylon by the Sumerians and Knossus by ancestral Mycenaeans. Whether you celebrate one of these momentous occasions or a lesser event, it seems a good time to review the last 1000 years as we look forward to the next.
Operational Art of War, Volume II
PC GAME REVIEW posted on 25 AUG 1999 by Scott Jennings
TOAW 2 won't win any converts, as it really is just TOAW 1 moved forward into the modern era. Although there have been some welcome tweaks to the game system, the entire package feels more like a campaign disk than a new game. Of course, if you liked TOAW 1 - and many, many do - you're sure to be pleased by TOAW 2 as well.
Team Apache
PC GAME REVIEW posted on 21 AUG 1998 by Gary
Team Apache incorporates a lot more into the game than just simply the simulation of one AH-64 Apache attack helicopter--in a Campaign the player is given command of an attack helicopter company in the field, complete with personnel issues to resolve with pilots and copilot/gunners, and a force of seven Apaches and supporting weapons and maintenance crews.
