Editor's Welcome

What's New on Armchair General
In the Footsteps of Heroes
Have you ever wanted to visit some of the most famous battlefields in Europe? Our very own Chad Weisensel did just that when he embarked on the epic Band of Brothers tour. Follow his exploits from Normandy to the Eagles' Nest in his nine-page report!

Summer Campaign 2007 Military History Tournament
Our online competition reached its climax earlier this month and saw Gustavus Adolphus emerge as the triumphant winner after a grueling contest. See the results for yourself here. A controversial result or deserved recognition? Keep an eye out for future events of this nature - we'll make sure you don't miss them courtesy of this newsletter - so watch this space!

Armchair General Game News
Our reviews department has featured some of the hottest new releases since our last newsletter. Be sure to read our reviews of Combat Mission: Shock Force and ArmA Combat Operations. To add to the mix, we've also covered Commander: Europe at War and HPS Campaign Chickamauga.

Armchair Military History
Our military history department has been busy - in addition to our headliner article above, you can read Part 18 of our Tactics 101 series, this time focussing on River Crossing Operations - useful for wargamers and historians alike! We also have a very special featured book review by the Editor of ACG itself - an overview of Ralph Peters' latest book Wars of Blood and Faith. All this sits alongside our regular input from Historian Carlo D'Este and our weekly WebOps series, as well as the ongoing exploits of the inept Doctor Sinister in the Incorrect Art of War series plus much much more!

Rear Guard
What Really Killed Stonewall Jackson?
We cast our minds back to what was an ACG exclusive from November 2006. New research revealed that pneumonia did NOT kill the South’s best general. This piece of outstanding “medical sleuthing” exposes the actual cause of Stonewall Jackson’s premature death. Read the findings here!
