All great suggestions Dr but I have to say I am a little tapped out of dollars right now. I’m still looking for a job to support this bad habit.
I am looking at setting up my own retail operation. This would allow me to reduce prices and still increase return on investment. This month I am just focused on getting the Russian’s done.Well, that’s a shame. If I had it, I’d offer you the venture capital. As it is, I might be able to if my book sales keep going up, but even so I probably couldn’t in the short term. (Royalty payments only come in twice a year…) But keep us posted on your progress. And if you do get your retail operation up-and-running, let us know so we can order straight from you and maximize your ROI.

Come on now and plug the book here. I may just pick up a copy now that I know the author. :-o

Well, I hate to toot my own horn, but if you insist…
So far I’ve published a logic/ critical thinking text for teenagers called The Art of Argument and a 3-part Latin for grammar-school students series called Latin for Children.
Right now I’m working on my next project, a four-part history of the world for youngsters to be called History for Children.
-
The Art of Argument: My kids started training in argument as soon as they learned the work NO. Will your critical thinking allow the students to watch news that is fair and balanced?
Latin for Children: You may want to make a second version for Priests. It seems many of our Catholic Priest need to learn Latin.
History for Children: That sounds great. I’m reading The Bulletproof George Washington. If only our kids could learn that part of our history. But it talks about faith in God so it will not be allowed. :cry:

That is, in fact, exactly what it is designed for, among other things…

There’s a great solution to this: home-schooling. Millions of people are doing it, many using our materials, which are designed to be as home-school friendly as possible.
Another plus of homeshooling is that you can do creative things like using board games to help you teach history (like A&A!) After I finish the basic HFC series, in fact, I’m thinking about creating a curriculum for doing this! I’ll have to convince my press-partners that it’s a good idea, but I think it could be big! (Notice how I’ve brought this back to something that’s at least partially back on topic…)
Anyway, my books and others by my friends at Classical Academic Press LLC are available on Amazon, but even better if you go straight to our website, as this maximizes our ROI.

Just wanted to say I got my Japanese units yesterday. They look fantastic. Really looking forward to Russians, Hungarians and French.

I should be picking up a copy of the new A&A Europe this week so that I can get a French piece to match the color. 8-)

We want WW1 units too:
Zepplins, bi-wings, Gotha bombers, trenches, gas weapons, Mark V and AV7 tanks etc
any chance of those?
I want a playable WW1 Axis Allies game in time for the 2014 anniversary date.

jack, if you can do this i already got the game to support it.
When your ready to make some really nice WW1 units, let us know.
I wish you went in this direction in the first place. You wont be competing with anybody.

Two things to add to this Jack.
First, I too would love a more expanded line of your WWI line to include much of the above (mostly needed is the Zeppelins, balloons, bi-planes, and bombers). You could end up with a lot more of my money if you do this…
Second, I have built IL’s game for myself and love it. It’s very complete and fun. I did end up doing a bit of a re-write to simplify some things to bring it a bit more inline with A&A. However, many people could enjoy either version with these additional pieces making it affordable to build ( I spent a lot on minis from you and elsewhere).

Wouldn’t a game based on WW 1 be kind of boring with the stagnation of trench warfare? At least on the Western front after the initial German advance and then the Allied repulse, the front lines were nearly static for nearly 4 years until the British and French introduced the first tanks in large numbers and achieved a breakthrough.
Now, on the Eastern front, things were much more mobile. -
With the scope of IL’s game including many of the British territories in Africa and the Middle East, and the variety of units involved, there is plenty to keep everyone entertained until tanks are brought it to wreak havoc (and break down). Naval battles are epic and Zeppelins with bombs are killer.
Jack, almost forgot, we need cavalry too. What would the French and Russians do without them?
-
Oh yeah, I forgot about the great naval clash of the Battle of Jutland. And the African colonies and Middle-East. Plus there was some action in Turkey. They fought against both the Western Allies and the Russians. There was even naval action in the South Pacific and South Atlantic. There was a German squadron disrupting shipping in the South Pacific and was eventually stopped by British Cruisers based in the Falklands.
So, I stand corrected. A WW 1 game like that would be pretty fun if it wasn’t just focused on the Western front. -
I have not seen a popular WWI game. I played one and I was the Russian’s. The whole game for me was building infantry and taking dead infantry off the board. I’m not knocking the idea but making it historical may be a bit boring (in WWI the lines never move much)?

I think that you could be ahead of the curve, Jack, if you produce a WWI grand strategy game. I believe that we will see a glut of games covering WWI as the 100th anniversary of opening hostilities is in 2014. Unfortunately, too many people do not understand the significance of this conflict and how the repercussions have affected WWII. Many people think that WWII is far more interesting than WWI, but they don’t understand that you had to have WWI before you could even have WWII.

You hit it right on the head C_Strabala. Italy was very upset that they weren’t allowed to increase their African colonial possessions at Germany’s expense at the end of WW1. That and economic woes led to Musolini’s popularity. Also, the harsh terms of Versailles and the “stab in the back” notion were directly responsible for Hitler’s popularity. With both of these two rising to power, and both being ruthless dictators, they felt the only way to fix their respective countries’ economic woes was military expansionism.
All of this was compounded by the Allied powers desire to avoid war at all costs due to memories of the carnage of WW1. Italy raped Ethiopia with no more than a strong “No No” from the League of Nations. Germany absorbed Austria and Czechoslovakia without even raising a rifle because Britain and France wanted so much to appease Hitler in the hopes of avoiding war. Of course, we all know now that was all in vain.
