- S&T Quarterly, Issue 7: The Crusades
The Crusades: Europe was nearing the peak of the High Middle Ages in the late eleventh century. A growing population supported not only rapid expansion of arable land, but the growth of cities that in turn fostered trade and the arts. In addition to massive cultural changes, the wars had an enormous impact on the conduct of warfare. Joseph Miranda covers that impact in the context of the period's battles and campaigns. The magazine is richly illustrated with maps, diagrams, weapons, and images of people and events. [Forum]

- Ivar the Boneless (new from High Flying Dice Games)
Ivar the Boneless: The Northumbrian Blood Eagle Campaign, 866 AD, portrays the Viking invasion of what would be Alfred the Great’s territory ten years before he ascended to the throne and the campaign covered in Alfred the Great volume 1. As with the other games in the series it is as much a strategic as tactical game. While there will be pitched battles both players will have to make decisions as to when and where to fight, and how best to maximize your strengths, whether Viking or Saxon. [Forum]
