Book Synopsis DBA 2.2 Simple Ancient and Medieval Wargaming Rules Including Dbsa and DBA 1.0 by : John Curry
Download or read book DBA 2.2 Simple Ancient and Medieval Wargaming Rules Including Dbsa and DBA 1.0 written by John Curry and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the rules was to provide the simplest possible set of wargaming rules that retained the feel and generalship of ancient and medieval warfare. The rules were about command decisions not the detail of combat. The average player would have memorized the rules by half way through their first battle, but tactical skill, especially with the use of light troops, took longer. Battles typically lasted less than an hour, allowing multiple games to be played in a single day. The DBA rules include the basic battle rules, campaign rules, suggested mini-campaigns, over three hundred army lists, rules for larger armies and six player campaigns. The original rules are supported by an introduction by Phil Barker and chapters on: Reflecting on the development of DBA. An introduction to tactics using DBA by Martin Smith. Applying DBA to historical battles, Recreating the Battle of Zama in 202 BC using DBA by Phil Steele. DBSA and DBA 1.0 Also included are all four of the original army lists
Book Synopsis Defense Base Act and War Hazards Compensation Act Handbook by :
Download or read book Defense Base Act and War Hazards Compensation Act Handbook written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2013 Edition of this handbook is the only practical guide published on the Defense Base Act and War Hazards Compensation Act. The two primary federal statutes which address these matters are the Defense Base Act ("DBA") [42 U.S.C.S. ℗ʹ 1651 et seq.] and the War Hazards Compensation Act ("WHCA") [42 U.S.C.S. ℗ʹ 1701 et seq.]. The general purpose of the DBA is to provide uniform and generous compensation benefits to certain civilian employees "domestic and foreign" of private companies doing work overseas in furtherance of American foreign policy. The general purpose of the WHCA is to shift to the United States government the costs of compensating certain civilian employees "domestic and foreign" of private companies who are working overseas in furtherance of American foreign policy and are injured or killed by a war risk hazard.Much has happened in the DBA world since our first and second editions went to press in 2008 and 2010. While there has been a significant wind-down of civilian contractors in Iraq, significant numbers continue to be employed to assist the efforts of the United States in its military activity in Afghanistan as well as in "public work" around the globe. Moreover, the "tail" from Iraq will be with us for many years to come. As you will see in this 2013 edition, we emphasize new case law in the areas of average weekly wage, exclusivity benefits under the DBA, adjudication and appeals and War Hazards Compensation Act. We have expanded the chapter on the War Hazards Compensation Act to include interesting "Bulletins" from the U.S. Department of Labor agencies involved with the administration of this law. We have also added a new chapter, Chapter 14, on claimant attorney fees--a topic that has been the subject of much controversy in recent years at the administrative, trial and appellate levels in both traditional Longshore and Defense Base Act cases.This handbook combines expert analysis of the substantive law with practice tips and other helpful tools. The handbook is written for attorneys, insurance companies, claims adjusters, judges, defense contractors, injured workers, and others. It provides the reader with a basic introduction to the Defense Base Act, its history and purpose, current events, and a list of common acronyms and terminology. The handbook discusses coverage issues, underwriting, waivers, exclusivity rules, types of benefits, the claims process, discovery issues, average weekly wage calculations, zone of special danger doctrine, commutations, settlements, and death benefits. There's also a chapter on the War Hazards Compensation Act and how benefits are obtained under that Act. At the end of the handbook, a full reprint of Defense Base Act and War Hazards Compensation Act statutes and the Longshore Harbor and Workers' Compensation Act statutes are provided.
Download or read book Lost Battles written by Philip Sabin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author's introduction: Ancient battles seize the modern imagination. Far from being forgotten, they have become a significant aspect of popular culture, prompting a continuing stream of books, feature films, television programs and board and computer games... there is a certain escapist satisfaction in looking back to an era when conflicts between entire states turned on clear-cut pitched battles between formed armies, lasting just a few hours and spanning just a few miles of ground. These battles were still unspeakably traumatic and grisly affairs for those involved - at Cannae, Hannibal's men butchered around two and a half times as many Romans (out of a much smaller overall population) as there were British soldiers killed on the notorious first day of the Somme. However, as with the great clashes of the Napoleonic era, time has dulled our preoccupation with such awful human consequences, and we tend to focus instead on the inspired generalship of commanders like Alexander and Caesar and on the intriguing tactical interactions of units such as massed pikemen and war elephants within the very different military context of pre-gunpowder warfare. Lost Battles takes a new and innovative approach to the battles of antiquity. Using his experience with conflict simulation, Philip Sabin draws together ancient evidence and modern scholarship to construct a generic, grand tactical model of the battles as a whole. This model unites a mathematical framework, to capture the movement and combat of the opposing armies, with human decisions to shape the tactics of the antagonists. Sabin then develops detailed scenarios for 36 individual battles such as Marathon and Cannae, and uses the comparative structure offered by the generic model to help cast light on which particular interpretations of the ancient sources on issues such as army size fit in best with the general patterns observed elsewhere. Readers can use the model to experiment for themselves by re-fighting engagements of their choice, tweaking the scenarios to accord with their own judgment of the evidence, trying out different tactics from those used historically, and seeing how the battle then plays out. Lost Battles thus offers a unique dynamic insight into ancient warfare, combining academic rigor with the interest and accessibility of simulation gaming. This book includes access to a downloadable computer simulation where the reader can view the author's simulations as well create their own.

Download or read book The Resisters written by Gish Jen and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2020 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Resisters is palpably loving, smart, funny, and desperately unsettling. The novel should be required reading for the country both as a cautionary tale and because it is a stone-cold masterpiece. This is Gish Jen's moment. She has pitched a perfect game." --Ann Patchett The time: not so long from now. The place: AutoAmerica. The land: half under water. The Internet: one part artificial intelligence, one part surveillance technology, and oddly human--even funny. The people: Divided. The angel-fair "Netted" have jobs, and literally occupy the high ground. The "Surplus" live on swampland if they're lucky, on water if they're not. The story: To a Surplus couple--he once a professor, she still a lawyer--is born a Blasian girl with a golden arm. At two, Gwen is hurling her stuffed animals from the crib; by ten, she can hit whatever target she likes. Her teens find her happily playing in an underground baseball league. When AutoAmerica rejoins the Olympics, though--with a special eye on beating ChinRussia--Gwen attracts interest. Soon she finds herself playing ball with the Netted even as her mother challenges the very foundations of this divided society. A moving and important story of an America that seems ever more possible, The Resisters is also the story of one family struggling to maintain its humanity and normalcy in circumstances that threaten their every value--as well as their very existence. Extraordinary and ordinary, charming and electrifying, this is Gish Jen at her most irresistible.

Book Synopsis Foreign Powers and Intervention in Armed Conflicts by : Aysegul Aydin
Download or read book Foreign Powers and Intervention in Armed Conflicts written by Aysegul Aydin and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-11 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intervention in armed conflicts is full of riddles that await attention from scholars and policymakers. This book argues that rethinking intervention—redefining what it is and why foreign powers take an interest in others' conflicts—is of critical importance to understanding how conflicts evolve over time with the entry and exit of external actors. It does this by building a new model of intervention that crosses the traditional boundaries between economics, international relations theory, and security studies, and places the economic interests and domestic political institutions of external states at the center of intervention decisions. Combining quantitative and qualitative evidence from both historical and contemporary conflicts, including interventions in both interstate conflicts and civil wars, it presents an in-depth discussion of a range of interventions—diplomatic, economic, and military—in a variety of international contexts, creating a comprehensive model for future research on the topic.
Download or read book One-Hour Wargames written by Neil Thomas and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fun and practical new approach to wargaming that lets you complete a game in about an hour—includes rule sets and scenarios for most popular periods. One of the biggest problems facing wargamers is finding the time to actually play. Most commercially available games require several hours to set up and see to a conclusion; some can even take a whole day or weekend to complete. Apart from time, lack of space can also keep wargamers from enjoying their favorite pastime. In One-hour Wargames, veteran gamer and rule-writer Neil Thomas has addressed both problems. Now it is practical to play a satisfying game in around an hour on a normal dining table or living room floor. The book contains 8 all-new sets of very simple rules for various periods—from Ancient to WW2—and thirty stimulating scenarios which can be played using any of them. All the rules and scenarios are intended to be played on a 3ft x 3ft battlefield. The rules only require a small number of miniatures, so this really is an ideal way for new gamers, or veterans trying a new period, to get started with minimal investment of time and money. Also ideal for a quick game in the evening with a friend. Also included are sections on campaigns and solo games.
Book Synopsis Cincinnati in the Civil War: The Union's Queen City by : David L. Mowery
Download or read book Cincinnati in the Civil War: The Union's Queen City written by David L. Mowery and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War, Cincinnati played a crucial role in preserving the United States. Not only was the city the North's most populous in the west, but it was also the nation's third-most productive manufacturing center. Instrumental in the Underground Railroad prior to the conflict, the city became a focal point for curbing Southern incursion into Union territory, and nearby Camp Dennison was Ohio's largest camp in the Civil War and one of the largest in the United States. Cincinnati historian David L. Mowery examines the many different facets of the Queen City during the war, from the enlistment of the city's area residents in more than 590 Federal regiments and artillery units to the city's production of seventy-eight U.S. Navy gunboats for the nation's rivers. As the Union's "Queen City," Cincinnati lived up to its name. --Back cover.
Book Synopsis Apostles of Disunion by : Charles B. Dew
Download or read book Apostles of Disunion written by Charles B. Dew and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Dew’s Apostles of Disunion has established itself as a modern classic and an indispensable account of the Southern states’ secession from the Union. Addressing topics still hotly debated among historians and the public at large more than a century and a half after the Civil War, the book offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were at the heart of our great national crisis. The fifteen years since the original publication of Apostles of Disunion have seen an intensification of debates surrounding the Confederate flag and Civil War monuments. In a powerful new afterword to this anniversary edition, Dew situates the book in relation to these recent controversies and factors in the role of vast financial interests tied to the internal slave trade in pushing Virginia and other upper South states toward secession and war.

Book Synopsis The Summer of ’63 Gettysburg by : Chris Mackowski
Download or read book The Summer of ’63 Gettysburg written by Chris Mackowski and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An outstanding read for anyone interested in the Civil War and Gettysburg in particular . . . innovative and thoughtful ideas on seemingly well-covered events.” —The NYMAS Review The largest land battle on the North American continent has maintained an unshakable grip on the American imagination. Building on momentum from a string of victories that stretched back into the summer of 1862, Robert E. Lee launched his Confederate Army of Northern Virginia on an invasion of the North meant to shake Union resolve and fundamentally shift the dynamic of the war. His counterpart with the Federal Army of the Potomac, George Meade, elevated to command just days before the fighting, found himself defending his home state in a high-stakes battle that could have put Confederates at the very gates of the nation’s capital. The public historians writing for the popular Emerging Civil War blog, speaking on its podcast, or delivering talks at the annual Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge in Virginia always present their work in ways that engage and animate audiences. Their efforts entertain, challenge, and sometimes provoke readers with fresh perspectives and insights born from years of working on battlefields, guiding tours, presenting talks, and writing for the wider Civil War community. The Summer of ’63: Gettysburg is a compilation of some of their favorites, anthologized, revised, and updated, together with several original pieces. Each entry includes original and helpful illustrations. Along with its companion volume The Summer of ’63: Vicksburg and Tullahoma, this important study contextualizes the major 1863 campaigns in what was arguably the Civil War’s turning-point summer.
