Osprey Catalogue January CATALOGUE JANUARY – JUNE 2020 Greetings from Osprey! 2020 is set to be a very exciting year for Osprey, with a host of fantastic titles publishing throughout the year. Our new military fitness titleBe Para Fit (p.1) and its accompanying app are set to inspire beginners and aspiring Paras alike to journey towards elite fitness alongside former leader of Paratrooper selection Major Sam McGrath. In the gripping Blood, Metal and Dust (p.2), Brigadier Ben Barry offers an explosive insight into the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, providing a detailed account of events on the ground during the conflicts. Given the ongoing scrutiny of the role of female soldiers in these and other conflicts, Julie Wheelwright’sSisters in Arms (p.2) is a timely and relevant exploration of the history of female soldiers across the centuries which challenges the contemporary relationship between masculinity and combat. Tapping into the desire for alternative perspectives in military history, both The Devil’s Bridge (p.4) and To Defeat the Few (p.4) explore key aspects of World War II through the eyes of German forces. In the former, Anthony Tucker-Jones examines the battle for Arnhem, the result of the disastrous Allied Operation Market Garden, whilst the latter, by Paul Crickmore and Doug Dildy is a fascinating analysis of the Battle of Britain from the perspective of the Luftwaffe. Osprey Games also has a selection of exciting new releases this year, including Oathmark (p.26), a mass-battle fantasy wargame, and Letterpress (p.24). a clever card game for witty wordsmiths. Fans of Frostgrave (p.27) are set to enter the Frozen City once again with a revised and expanded edition of the multi-award-winning wargame, whilst Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter players will be able to adventure solo with the new Dark Judges expansion (p.25).

Our need in the future is for flexible and adaptable armed forces properly supported to carry out the most likely expeditionary operations. To create a more sustainable and affordable force structure which better meets these operational requirements we have secured additional resources: the 2004 Spending Review allocated £3.7 billion to defence across the Spending Review period, which represents an average real terms increase of 1.4% a year.

    THE TIGRESS! Commander Maria Leont’evna Bochkarëva THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 66 - MARCH 2017 EDITORIAL Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to the latest edition of “The Tiger”, rechristened “The Tigress” for this special ladies edition! Despite whiling away many a youthful hour under a candlewick bedspread listening to Radio Luxembourg 208, I don’t seem to have much time these days to listen to the radio but I noticed that, on 8th March, Radio 3 dedicated its whole day’s playlist, in recognition of their bold and diverse contribution to music, to female composers one of whom being Elisabeth Lutyens, daughter of architect Edwin. Why did the BBC decide to do this? It was to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD). I was reminded of the impending IWD last month when researching the remarkable exploits of Russian women in 1917 without whom the revolution may not have occurred exactly as it did 100 years ago. Their story will be recounted later in this Newsletter . The month of March itself could even be described as “Ladies Month” since its very flower, the daffodil, is also known as the birth flower, and its 31 days contain not only IWD (8th) but Lady Day or Annunciation Day (25th) and Mothering Sunday (26th). Militarily, of course, March was named after Mars, the Roman god of war whose month was Martius and from where originated the word martial. Another definition of March is “walk in a military manner with a regular measured tread”, a meaning which countless troops over the centuries learned as part of their basic training.

  • Naval Section – Hut 4
    The Mansion. Photo: © the2xislesteam The Enigma cipher was the backbone of German military and intelligence communications. First invented in 1918, it was designed to secure banking communications where it achieved little success. However the German military were quick to see its potential, they thought it to be unbreakable, and not without good reason. Enigma's complexity was bewildering. The odds against anyone who did not know the settings being able to break Enigma were a staggering 150 million, million, million, to one. Back in 1932 the Poles had broken Enigma, at a time when the encoding machine was undergoing trials with the German Army., the Poles even managed to reconstruct a machine. At that time, the cipher altered every few months but with the advent of war it changed at least once a day effectively locking the Poles out. July 1939, the Poles had passed on their knowledge to the British and the French. This enabled the code-breakers to make critical progress in working out the order in which the keys were attached to the electrical circuits, a task that had been impossible without an Enigma machine in front of them. Armed with this knowledge, the code-breakers were then able to exploit a chink in Enigma's armour. A fundamental design flaw meant that no letter could ever be encrypted as itself; an A in the original message, for example, could never appear as an A in the code. This gave the code breakers a toehold. Errors in messages sent by tired, stressed or lazy German operators also gave clues.
