Commanderski -> Black Cross/Red Star series Volume 4 update (9/20/2017 12:38:34 PM)

This would be applicable to to anybody who is playing WITW to get used to the air war and game mechanics in preparation for WITE 2.0.

IIf anybody has read or heard about the Black Cross/Red Star books you will know that they are the most definitive books on the air war on the Eastern Front and have been out of print for a while.

The author will be publishing a volume 4 within the next several months (2018) and if that is successful will publish updated volumes 1,2 and 3. But like WITE and WITW the interest in these books is a niche group and as such he has to publish this on his own. He is looking for either pre-orders or help in crowd funding. He has also promised not to ask for any money until he has reached the required amount of 125 orders.

I think it would be well worth it to support him since if volume 4 is successful then he can print the updated versions of volumes 1- 3 which would be more affordable than the out of print originals if you can find them at all. These would also be very helpful in WITE 2.0 as the air war would probably have more interest than it does now.

As a disclaimer I have no financial interests at all in this, just helping him get the news out so hopefully he can get the books published. Here is the link to his site: http://www.bergstrombooks.elknet.pl/bc-rs/

Thanks for the info. I'm a collector of books on the eastern front and have known about this series for a while but have never taken the plunge to buy a volume. Very tempting now.

Interesting, but I expect pre-orders to be actually cheaper or have some extra perks. Paying $100 for $60 book (previous volumes were for $40) isn't to my liking. What about the author using some print on demand services where anyone can publish his books and they wilk be printed when ordered?
