Alto Cenepa Air War

This new book is being published soon and I'm really looking forward to getting hold of a copy, as inspiration for my 1/600th Wings at War project. I have the other two books in the series and they are both excellent, so this one should be well worth the wait. I've also been enthused by the Thud Ridge based air campaign that Bozkashi Jones has been playing, as described on his blog and on TMP, and I think there's real potential to use his system for the Alto Cenepa War, rather than reinventing the wheel.

    1. Agreed- they've had so much money out of me for that series. They've really taken over from Osprey for 20th century topics now....

      Cheers,

      Pete.

  3. Glad you enjoyed the Agacher campaign Jim - the Alto Cenepa campaign will be a great setting as all that jungle means that helicopters will be a key part so they'll need top cover to protect them, not to mention the ground attack missions. Fantastic stuff!
