    I can second the Turtledove stuff. The arrogance of the invaders is also a hoot.

    If you need some toys to smash or tool around in, I have some real, fake, and REALLY fake stuff on my vehicle page.

    Space is still down however.

    Re: Golden Age adventures

    I just finished a book that might be of interest. Its called "My Tank is Fight!" by Zack Parsons.

    It is about some of the crazier real world super weapons projects of World War Two. Each weapon is described and analysed then given a fictional battle report. If you like real world WW2 era tech or crazy stuff like War Wheels you have got to give it a look.

    The sections are:
    1.) Land

    the Maus
    LandKreuzer P Ratte
    German trans channel supergun
    Wire guided antitank weapons
    Vampir nightvision scopes
    LandKreuzerPP Monster

    2.)Air

    Weser WP -like a Nazi Osprey
    The Christie Flying Tank
    The Heliofly single soldier helicopter back pack
    German A10 super rocket and Von Braun's space station
    Horten HO flying wing fighter
    German A-Bomb
    Axis parasite kamikaze fighter
    Silverbird orbitol bomber

    3.) Sea

    Axis hovercraft raider
    Submarine li cruiser ala the Surcouf
    HMS Habbakuk-with a nice illustration
    Seeteufel a submarine tank
    Sub launched V2


    The tone is light and very funny in the analysis but the what if sections read like short novellas. I just can't reccomend it enough for it's GM inspiring goodness.

    Re: Golden Age adventures

    I did a write-up of the Ratte for DH. http://www.herogames.com/viewDHIssue...issueID=217474

    Ages ago I posted a US modified Surcouf HDC sheet, but no one ever downloaded it, so it got dropped from my attachments.

    Watch the original Why We Fight seven part series which explains the origins of the war, and the true menace of the Axis.

    Wonder Woman First Season for a TV show that had the right feel of 1940s adventure

    The Phantom with Billy Zane and Catherine Zeta Jones.

    All Star Squadron comics was set in during World War Two as well.


    Check out some of my characters.

    Re: Golden Age adventures

    I just put up a 150 point character called the Swashbuckler in "My Superhero Universe" Thread in Champions.

    He's based loosely on Errol Flynn.
