I'm moving on to some background reading in advance of my Target for Tonight project, which I'll be starting next month if it all goes according to the plan. I have both of the books in this series, as digital copies, so it will be useful to track the developments in night fighter tactics and technology over the course of the bomber campaign, as well as the electronic counter measures used by the RAF. This is one of the more convoluted aspects of the game which I really need to get a grip on if I'm to run realistic, historically accurate scenarios.
Welcome to my blog. I have upwards of 100 projects in various stages of incompletion or total abandonment, so you may well find something of interest if you rummage about a bit. I concentrate on solo air and naval wargaming but other 'skirmishy' things quite often pop up out of nowhere, only to disappear again after something else grabs my attention. I even finish the occasional project now and again!

I've been reading on the topic off and on for at least a decade when the occasional book on it crosses my path through the limited second hand shops I get to visit. It is really interesting, the measure v counter measure contest, especially at the points in time where one or the other is introduced. Some interesting games there indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt is fascinating but also fiendishly complicated!
