Return of the Europe Aflame Interactive Combat Story
After a long hiatus, the EA-ICS has returned. This "story" is being written by members of the ACG community using polls and discussion in the forum, which then is translated into action on the gameboard (using The Operational Art of War scenario called Europe Aflame). This is much the same as the ICS found in the magazine, but is totally open ended as to how it will end. Can the Germans take Moscow? Can they control the Middle East? Will the Allies repeat history and defeat the Axis once and for all? Follow the action here! It started here. Special thanks to Shane Sohnle for kick starting this project.

Oradour sur Glane Revisited
As we looked back in our archives for something interesting to dig up, we happened upon one of our more powerful pieces over the years. This is a photo essay of a French village which was destroyed by the Nazis in World War II. Check it out again, and learn
why even the birds don't sing in the deserted French village of Oradour sur Glane.
