Book Synopsis Wars of Insurgency: Skirmish Warfare in the Modern World by : Mike Demana Demana
Download or read book Wars of Insurgency: Skirmish Warfare in the Modern World written by Mike Demana Demana. This book was released on 2017-09-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wars of Insurgency is a simple, fast-play set of rules for modern warfare. It gives the flavor of "low intensity" or guerrilla warfare without getting bogged down in complexity of trying to simulate every weapon. Players control 3-5 squads of 3-12 miniatures -- with each figure representing one man. The rules include a complete campaign rules set allowing players to take on the role of factions fighting for control of their historical or fictional country. Political schemes, permanent institutions, and a system for eventual victory of one faction give more ways to spice up your miniatures games with a storyline. Three scenarios and guidelines for using historical events to create new ones are included. A complete point system allows Elite, Regular, and Militia troops to be matched up for fair games.

Book Synopsis Modern African Conflicts by : Timothy J. Stapleton
Download or read book Modern African Conflicts written by Timothy J. Stapleton. This book was released on 2022-06-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential resource for students or general readers interested in post-colonial Africa, this encyclopedia provides coverage of different regions, countries, wars, battles, factions, leaders, and foreign powers. Armed conflict represents a substantial part of African history since around 1960, yet this history is either insufficiently taught or overshadowed by negative stereotypes about African "tribal warfare." In an effort to introduce this vital topic to students and general readers alike, this one-volume encyclopedia provides concise historical information on conflicts that occurred in postcolonial Africa. The entries cover all the regions of Africa (North, West, Central, East, and Southern); the Cold War and post–Cold War periods; a range of important leaders; various types of conflicts from civil wars and insurgencies to conventional military engagements; involvement of foreign powers; and such themes as airpower, women and war, and genocide.
