 | | The main city I'm looking for (and from which the campaign will begin) needs to be a very lawful based place (though of course, plenty of room for evil and chaos to hide in the shadows), kind of a military stronghold around which a small city has grown. | | | I've already got a basic map of the area where the campaign will begin (should take us through 3-6 months of playing easily), but I'm looking for some published (or e-published, or just fan published) city settings to save me some design time. | | | I love the Atlas game material for D20 products I find it to be the most "plug and play" the mongoose stuff is great if your campaign world is very "fantastic" otherwise takes a lot of modification to make it work in most "standard" settings. |

| | Military Strategy and Tactics |
| | Strategy, for example, literally means "the art of the general" (from the Greek strategos) and originally signified the purely military planning of a campaign. | | | Military strategy and tactics are essential to the conduct of warfare. | | | In the 19th and 20th centuries, however, with the rise of mass ideologies, vast conscript armies, global alliances, and rapid technological change, military strategy became difficult to distinguish from national policy or "grand strategy," that is, the proper planning and utilization of the entire resources of a society--military, technological, economic, and political. |

| | Decision To Invade North Africa |
| | In fact the invasion of North Africa had been a main topic of discussion between President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and their chief military advisers, known collectively as the Combined Chiefs of Staff (CCS), at the first of the Allied wartime conferences held in Washington (ARCADIA) during the week before Christmas 1941. | | | Even at this early stage they showed a preference for peripheral campaigns to be followed by a direct attack on the enemy only after he had been seriously weakened by attrition. | | | While the majority of American military leaders had their doubts about the value of a North African invasion and its chances of success, President Roosevelt was attracted to the idea largely because it afforded an early opportunity to carry the war to the Germans. |

| | CHAPTER X. - RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN, TO THE TREATY OF KALISCH. |
| | York's force was the strongest military body upon the Russian frontier; united with Macdonald, it would have forced the Russian pursuit to stop at the Niemen; abandoning Napoleon, it brought his enemies on to the Vistula, and threatened incalculable danger by its example to all the rest of Germany. | | | A bloody struggle left the French in possession of the road: they continued their advance; but it was only to find that Kutusoff, with his full strength, had occupied a line of heights farther south, and barred the way to Kaluga. | | | In all, the Russians had only 220,000 men to oppose to more than double that number of the enemy. |

| | Barnett is equally highly critical of Churchill's direction of the war in the Mediterranean, for example with regard to the Greek campaign, which he maintains was based on unsound military strategy and fought by British forces for purely cynical political gain. | | | This book is a study of the leadership of the British army in the desert campaigns of World War II. | | | Although it was one of the deadliest counter-insurgency campaigns in history, costing over 1 million lives, English-speaking writters tend to overlook the war in Algeria. |

| | The Russian government said yesterday that it will not abandon its offensive in Chechnya despite Western calls to end the fighting, and today, Russian President Boris Yeltsin vowed that he will defend Russia's seven week old military campaign at a European security summit later this week in Turkey. | | | Russian forces continue to pound villages in Western Chechnya and have tightened the noose around the capital Grozny. | | | This weekend saw the heaviest day of aerial bombing so far, with some sources putting the number of Russian bombing raids on Chechnya at 180 during one 24 hour period. |
