The Military History Weekend is shaping up to be quite an event! While it is certainly quite different to be planning an event rather than "just" attending (not to suggest that attending or vending is ever as simple as that), it has been a lot of fun so far...

You will probably know of videogame publisher Square-Enix because of their multi-million selling super-franchise Final Fantasy - a series which has spawned countless sequels, brought the Japanese-style turn based RPG to the western audience and has included some of the greatest games ever. In fact, current rumours are ciculating that Final Fantasy VII - widely considered one of the greatest videogames of all time - is actually due to be remade frame by frame for the next generation consoles as a tribute to just how good a game it was orginally.

We have teamed up with Square-Enix and Wargaming.net in the run-up to the launch of their new World War 2 PC game Order of War. So, with every copy of Order of War that is pre-ordered from Play.com you will receive a free copy of the paperback version of FUBAR: Soldier Slang of World War II.

This week sees the official UK launch of Battles of World War II, a landmark book collection that chronicles the major military events of World War II. If you live in the UK, you will probably have noticed the extensive TV campaign currently running to promote the collection of 52 books on the greatest battles of the Second World War.

In less than a month the first titles from our new Raid series will publish. Here is a sneak preview of what you will get in some of the launch titles. Our third volume in the series is RAID 4 Who Dares Wins – The SAS and the Iranian Embassy Siege 1980. Much has been written about Operation Nimrod, the SAS assault on the Iranian Embassy in the heart of London to free the hostages held within, but we hope that our title offers that something extra.

This month I’ve chosen the two maps that feature in Fortress 85 Scapa Flow: The defences of Britain’s great fleet anchorage 1914-45. The book offers the reader a detailed understanding of the defensive preparation and construction of Britain’s main fleet anchorage.
