1-905147 Neville, Gabriel THE LAST MEN STANDING: The 8th Virginia Regiment in the American Revolution Details how nearly 800 men followed the famous 'fighting parson,' Colonel Peter Muhlenberg, into the Continental Army in 1776 as part of the 8th Virginia Regiment -- yet few of them remained at the end of the war. Explains how most were German and Irish immigrants and the regiment was conceived as a way to recruit them. Thought to be an impossible story to tell, this is the result of many years of research in distant archives, small museums, private collections, and other sources. Traces the lives of immigrant children from the French and Indian War, through the Revolution, to the settlement of the American frontier. Contains 40 black and white illustrations, 60 black and white photos, 2 color illustrations, 12 color photos, 10 black and white maps, 35 tables, and 1-2 graphs.1 vol, 416 pgs 2025 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-249500 Miranda, Joseph CARRIER BATTLE GROUP: Solitaire Solitaire game set during the Cold War where the player contests against the game system, fulfilling scenario objectives, randomly generated by a Mission Orders chit pull. Carrier operations are shown in considerable detail, while other US Navy and opposing Soviet actions are more abstracted. An Alert Level, representing how much the Soviet Navy's command is concentrating its resources against your task force, increases the possibility of running into enemy forces. Once contact is made with enemy forces, the game's Tactical Routine is used to resolve combat. A scenario ends when you reach your objective. Scenarios can be played individually or linked together to form a Campaign Game. Optional Rules allow for multiple players, having them each control various aspects of the US Navy force. Updates the game first appearing in Modern War #14, offering new map and counter artwork, a mounted game board, updated rules, new player aid cards, and a campaign analysis article.1 vol, 1 pgs 2025 US, DECISION GAMES
