At last someone is using video tapes to bring information to the historical gamer! Cromwell Films Inc. has combined live re-enactments, historical film clips, and various historical paintings to bring life to the famous battles we spend so much time in re-creating. I watched Trafalger, Austerlitz and Waterloo of the series - they were better than any dry history on the subject. The technique used makes one feel that the action took place a few hours ago and you are watching CNN news. Better than the old You Are There programs of some 20 years ago. I plan to buy the rest of the set. Highly recommended! More Reviewing Stand Product Reviews
