Fate Of A Nation Shipping Now! We are pleased to announce that if you made an order over on the Fate Of Nation website then the orders have begun shipping. The 1967 Six Day War and 1973 Yom Kippur or October War were epic in scale and brutal in intensity. The stakes were high for all sides. For Israel it was a matter of survival. If the Syrians or Egyptians broke through they could be in Israeli towns in less than an hour. For the Egyptians and Syrians it was a matter of credibility. Failure could bring down either government.  Read the book spotlight over on the Fate Of A Nation website click here... Click here to visit the Fate Of A Nation website...

Soviet TANKS Previews It is time for the Soviet juggernaut to once again be unleashed on the TANKS world. Like the British, the Soviets benefited from the Lend Lease program and received Stuart and Lee tanks from the US, as well as Valentine and Churchill tanks from the UK. Of course they had plenty of their own designs including the fearsome KV, the bane of many a Panzer commander as well as an earlier version of the T-34 that was being manufactured in Stalingrad whilst the fighting drew ever closer. Check out these sneak peeks before they release in August and September. KV Tank Expansion... T-34 (Early) Tank Expansion... Lend Lease Valentine Expansion... Lend Lease Churchill Tank Expansion...
