Brian Train advises that his four year struggle to full recovery maybe coming to an end: "On August 27 the Cage came off, and while I am still in a leg brace and there is surgery (bone graft, plate and pins) in the near future, my leg is straighter and longer than it was. And that's progress."
Jim Bloom advises: "My book was finally published on September 10th. Here is the info: The Roman-Judaeo War 66-74 AD - A Military Analysis, by James Bloom. (SAGA Publications, 2002). ISBN 0-9725678-0-1."
Jim further adds: Ten years in the making, this book presents unprecedented detail on unit composition, tactics and the appearance and equipment of the opposing forces. This 135-page book has eleven maps, most in full color, as well as seven color diorama photos of "virtual reality" battle scenes, full bibliography, appendices and more. I hope that I have brought a fresh perspective to Josephus' War, based on my military historical background. The book sells for $29.95 plus $1.50 postage (U.S.) or $9.50 for overseas airmail and is available from SAGA Publications, 890 Janes Road, Rochester, NY 14612-2330 or by using www.paypal.com with tlgore@frontiernet.net as receiver of funds.
The float of the Gold Canyon Gunfighters won first place in the Fountain (south of Colorado Springs) parade on Labor day, advises Ken West. I walked 1.5 miles, wearing a costume, firing blanks into the air, and making western-type banter with the spectators. After this experience, I'm sure that cowboys only wore gunbelts for show when they were in town - the things are awkward and heavy! - mostly awkward!
Jim Dunnigan's latest book The Next War Zone has been released and is at bookstore near you. The book will be reviewed in our next issue.
"In December, I will be a Specialist (E-4)" advises Karl Tschanz currently serving in the US Army in Korea. "I now have a HMMV with my name on it, along with a Maj. Danikowski. Also I will run the next live fire exercise (LFX) with an (E-7) Sergeant First Class being the advisor. If I can find a way, perhaps the Attack TOC Comics can be published in CH."
Last but not least, ye editor and publis her (ie David Tschanz) will be turning 50 on November 21st. I'm not quite sure how that happened since I'm only 17 at heart (and in maturity I can hear some saying).
