If you could interview one person who has written about #airpower (historian, social scientist, theorist, officer, etc.), who would it be, why that person, and what would you ask? #airpowerhistory@militaryhistory

The two known games are Malaysia (1941-42) and Moro River (1943-44). I'm not familiar with the Italian campaigns, so this one will be a treat. I know Malaysia is a challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing how the designers customize the rules and rationale to fit the individual campaigns. Can't wait to see what the other three games cover.
#OTD in 1912, during the Italo-Turkish war, the Battle of Kars Ras el Leben ended with an Italian victory after 3 days of combats. The Ottomans suffered 1000 KIA and 1000 WIA vs 61 Italian KIA and 113 WIA. #RegioEsercito#MilHis @histodons@militaryhistory
My cover designer sent me the attached earlier, with the following question. "Why use a real cover designer when you can create masterpieces like this using AI?"
For those that don't know, the attack on Pearl Harbor was carried out by the Japanese. The planes on the cover are German Fw190s.
I've blurred the author name because I have no desire to cause a pile-on.

It may be apocryphal, but supposedly Harry Turtledove wrote Guns of the South because an artist sent his publisher a history book cover illustration with Robert E. Lee holding an AK-47....
This book obviously, is not alternate history science fiction, though it's nice to see the Fw190 get some love.
