Armchair General goes to Historicon Game Convention
For anyone looking for some quality gaming in late July, check out Historicon in Lancaster, PA July 26-29. Armchair General will be sending a team as part of our support for the War College seminar series. We will be sponsoring talks by Colonel David M. Glantz (who has a very interesting What-If seminar about the Eastern Front), Dana Lombardy (with talks about Kursk and a theoretical 1945 matchup between Russia and the US), and Frank Chadwick (several talks about the early fight in North Africa in WW2). Learn more about Historicon here (Historicon Website). Our speakers. [On July 30 after the convention ends, we will also be going to Gettysburg for a one day visit - learn more here]

Armchair General Game News
Here is the latest from the ACG portfolio; Check out our reviews of Great Invasions and Enemy Engaged 2, along with East Front for the boardgame side. We also have a feature on Axis and Allies: War at Sea. Our most recent interview was for Commander: Europe At War.

We also have a custom scenario for an article inside the magazine. If you have Battlefront's Theatre of War, check out this scenario!

Armchair Military History
Here are the latest articles in our military history department. Carlo D' Este examines the preparations for war in 1941 with Training for war in the summer of 1941...and the making of a future Supreme Commander. We have interesting articles about North Africa, Korea, and a piece about ACG's new History Award. The next ICS from the magazine has been placed on the website, rather than print form. Korea: The Next War is online now! Of course we have our regular features such as Jim Moreno's WebOps (an overview of all things Military History on the web) and The Incorrect Art of War (Dr. Sinister's attempts to understand military history's lessons).
