    Wings of the Motherland - 4th release of the Fighting Wings series

    The air war over the Soviet Union is the fourth "module" of the Fighting Wings series just released, at a hefty $135.

    If a leader makes a MOL (molotov cocktail) check and fails, may he still use his leadership modifier?

    If a leader attempts to roll for a Molotov cocktail and fails, may he still add his leadership modifier to the squad he is with? Rule 22.611 does not address. (The situation was a 3-4-7 squad with a 2-7 LMG and a 8-1 leader. It was useless for the squad to roll for the MOL because they would...

    Indie films

    Maybe I was in the mood for it, but I enjoyed a sci-fi indie last night, The Thaw. The Thaw is a Candian indie (but I repeat myself) with what I have to admit is a cliche story line... Scientists discover a wolly mammoth and end up being infected. It has one "star" in it, Val Kilmer...
