p://www.concentric.net/~Rojo1/ A new issue of Chandelle, A Journal of Aviation History was recently uploaded.

p://www.grognard.com/ - this has been revamped over the last year and the newly available information is just incredible!!

http://www.vaevictis.com/ - the French Historical Gaming Magazine Vae Victis - like S&T used to be (in the Redmond Simonsen days). This page is in French, but it has an English section (click on Anglais at the bottom of the home page). Provides the English translations (when available) of rules sets in the magazine

http://perso.club-internet.fr/fredbey/index_va.html - the Vae Victis web page for English Speakers. Great material and a great magazine, not just for board gamers, but all gamers and historians. Make sure you click on the links on the left hand side of the page. If you click on the picture link, you go back into the French page.

http://www.grognard.com/bfm/game.html - complete game, Battle for Moscow

http://www.interq.or.jp/japan/maisov/e/index.htm Mark Hayes of the Naval Historical Center sent a URL with information on the Japanese tanks on Shimushu in 1945 including how the USN might have been a participant if not for the atomic bombs).  Also a link to a brief discussion of Japanese Army & Navy Organizations in WWII.

http://member.nifty.ne.jp/takixxx/ The page with the Japanese armor information that covers the Shimushu battle is here. You will need to allow for it to download an English language support, or you will need to be able to read Japanese!!!

http://www.boneybooks.com/index.html - this is the site for Napoleon & his times. Fine, Rare & Out-Of-Print Books , Histories , Memoirs & Bios, Campaign Studies, Regimentals, Peninsular War, St. Helena, Search Service, Appraisals. I recently spent over $600 at this site…

http://broadside.napoleonicwars.com/ Broadside is a collection of pages describing life in Royal Navy in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, the time of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. And good links to other 18th C naval pages.

http://www.napoleonicwars.com/ - links to lots of great Napoleonics pages for wargamers (like this one for example - http://uniform-evolution.napoleonicwars.com/ The title speaks for itself!

http://www.histofig.com/ - in French, but lots of good info for miniature wargamers.

http://www.aldine-press.com/sotcw/ - home page for the Society of 20th Century Wargamers

http://www.plasticmodels.com - for those of you who put models together or are into 20mm (1:72nd Scale) plastic figures. This site has just about everything you might want to order.

http://www.accessone.com/hat - HaT Industrie web page for their line of plastic figures. I know that real men wargame with lead (or tin), but for those of us who travel, we have to keep it light. They offer the best in 1:72nd (20mm) Napoleonics and a budding line of ancients!

http://www.warflag.com/default - this is the site for flags on the net. A number of eras are included like AWI, WSS, Naps, and Pirates.

http://www.napflags.co.uk/ - Alan Pendlebury's companion site to Ian Croxall's Warflag site. This site only looks at Napoleonic flags and really does them justice.

http://msnhomepages.talkcity.com/ClassifiedsCt/gauntlet2/gauntlet.htm -This is yet another new site for Gauntlet Publications in the U.S. It gives me a little more functionality than my previous site, although I am still a sponsor of the www.garrison-clubs.org site.
