Twilight 2000
TWILIGHT 2000 Twilight 2000 is a Role playing game set in a fictional future, one where World war 3 began in the late 1990's and eventually slipped into a nuclear exchange changing society as we know it. The players assume the roles of survivors trying to live through the aftermath of the war. Twilight 2000 was published in the mid 1980's by Game Designers Workshop who unfortunately closed their doors in the early 1990's. The copyright was purchased by Tantalus, Inc but there are no stated plans to revive the game. Despite the lack of any new material from a publisher the game continues to expand through the players on websites such as this. This is my contribution to the game, this site will be in a constant state of change, I plan to add material as I get it finished. This will include new equipment, optional rules, alternate game backgrounds and other material as it accumulates, currently I am working on source material for a World war 2 background, but I also have been completing some optional rules of my own as well as modern equipment.

Mg 34 and Mg 42 Machine Guns
MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS MC NAB © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS McNAB Series Editor Martin Pegler © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 4 DEVELOPMENT 8 The ‘universal’ machine gun USE 27 Flexible firepower IMPACT 62 ‘Hitler’s buzzsaw’ CONCLUSION 74 GLOSSARY 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY & FURTHER READING 78 INDEX 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION Although in war all enemy weapons are potential sources of fear, some seem to have a deeper grip on the imagination than others. The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun. -

Company A, 276Th Infantry in World War Ii
COMPANY A, 276TH INFANTRY IN WORLD WAR II FRANK H. LOWRY Library of Congress Catalogue Card Number 94-072226 Copyright © 1991, 1994,1995 by Frank H Lowry Modesto, California All rights reserved ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This writing was started in 1945 in Europe following the cessation of hostilities that brought about an end to World War II. Many of the contributors were still together and their wartime experiences were fresh in their memories. It is the first hand account of the men of Company A, 276th Infantry Regiment, 70th Infantry Division which made history by living and participating in the bitter combat of the Ardennes-Alsace, Rhineland and Central Europe Campaigns. I humbly acknowledge my gratitude to the many veterans of those campaigns who provided valuable contributions to this book. A special note of appreciation goes to the following former soldiers of Company A who contributed significantly to this work. Without their input and guidance, this book could not have been written. Richard Armstrong, Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota Russell Causey, Sanford, North Carolina Burton K. Drury, Festus, Missouri John L. Haller, Columbia, South Carolina Daniel W. Jury, Millersburg, Pennsylvania Lloyd A. Patterson, Molalla, Oregon William J. Piper, Veguita, New Mexico Arthur E. Slover, Salem, Oregon Robert I. Wood, Dallas, Texas The assistance of Edmund C. Arnold, author and Chester F. Garstki, photographer of “The Trailblazers,” was very helpful in making it possible to illustrate and fit the military action of Company A into the overall action of the 70th Infantry Division. A word of thanks goes to Wolf T. Zoepf of Pinneberg, Germany for providing significant combat information from the point of view of those soldiers who fought on the other side. -
