Early Years US Marine Actions

[Hutch]

A good book I found was “The Banana Wars” by Ivan Musicant.

 

[sswann]

Yes it is.
There are also after action reports available at the Marine Historical Society as well as some monographs.

 

[Bad Dice]

Also yes, to answer the question.

Steve is apparently further along in the process than I, however.

Ah, what game system will you be designing them for? I presume it's not ASL, which would not be suitable for early 1900s action.

Yawn.

 

[phlegm027]

Steve; I’ll take a look at them.

 

[thedrake]

Steve, if you need some proofreading done on them please feel free to email me the files.

 

[Bad Dice]

Me too for the proofing thing, Steve.

Some 'might' grouse about this, but how about 'hypothetical' clashes (i.e., cease-fire violations...) involving the North China Marines in Peking, or the 4th Marines at Shanghai vs. the Japanese in 1932 or 1937?? I'd love to see an OOB and ASL Unit Organization for the 'China Marines', 1927-1941... I remember reading somewhere that the 4th Marines still adhered to an older TO&E from the 30's, and were more of a 'stripped-down' force than most pre-war regular USMC units were at that time.
