Recently, I borrowed a copy of Jungle Patrol from a subscriber to write up scenarios etc for the Heliograph. Well if you have internet access you can get to it on line complete at www.bakbakan.com that will also lead you to several interesting articles, in particular “The Burning of Samar” and “Captain Leonard Furlong, The American Devil-Warrior”. I knew that both Jungle Patrol at www.bakbakan.com/junglep.html and Swish of the Kris at www.bakbakan.com/swishkb.html by Vic Hurley are rare books, and hold great info for gamers. If you are interested in the Spanish-American War, in small-scale actions, early 20th century colonial actions then these four items are for you. Even if you have some Moros and Spanish from the Napoleonic era then the Swish of the Kris is for you (with OBs). There is great info here as well as a good read. It takes forever to print because the two books are divided into chapters but is well worth it.
