  • ASTRA MILITARUM SOLDIERS of the IMPERIUM These Datasheets Allow You to Fight Apocalypse Battles with Your Astra Militarum Miniatures
    ASTRA MILITARUM SOLDIERS OF THE IMPERIUM These datasheets allow you to fight Apocalypse battles with your Astra Militarum miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and special abilities it may have. KEYWORDS Throughout these datasheets you will come across the <Regiment> keyword. This is shorthand for a keyword of your choosing, as described below. <REGIMENT> Most Astra Militarum units are drawn from a regiment. Some datasheets specify which regiment the unit is drawn from (e.g. Mukaali Riders have the Tallarn keyword, so are drawn from the Tallarn Regiment), but where a datasheet does not, it will have the <Regiment> keyword. When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which regiment that unit is from. You then simply replace the <Regiment> keyword in every instance on that unit’s datasheet with the name of your chosen regiment. For example, if you were to include an Atlas Recovery Tank in your army, and you decided it was from Vostroya, its <Regiment> Faction keyword is changed to Vostroyan and its Recovery Vehicle ability would then read: ‘At the end of the Action phase, this unit can to repair one friendly Vostroyan Vehicle unit in base contact with it. If it does, remove one damage marker from that Vehicle unit. Only one attempt to repair each unit can be made each turn.’ ATLAS RECOVERY TANK 5 An Atlas Recovery Tank is a unit that contains 1 model.

Gommans also details practical and tech- 20111 nological aspects of combat, such as gunpowder technologies and the 1 animals used in battle. His comparative analysis throws new light on much- 2 contested theories of gunpowder empires and the spread of the military 3 revolution. 4 As the first original analysis of Mughal warfare for almost a century, this 5 will make essential reading for military specialists, students of military history 6 and general Asian history. 7 8 Jos Gommans teaches Indian history at the Kern Institute of Leiden 9 University in the Netherlands. His previous publications include The Rise 30111 of the Indo-Afghan Empire, 1710–1780 (1995) as well as numerous articles 1 on the medieval and early modern history of South Asia. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 1111 Warfare and History 2 General Editor 3 Jeremy Black 4 Professor of History, University of Exeter 5 6 Air Power in the Age of Total War The Soviet Military Experience 7 John Buckley Roger R.

  • Explosive Weapon Effectsweapon Overview Effects
    CHARACTERISATION OF EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS EXPLOSIVEEXPLOSIVE WEAPON EFFECTSWEAPON OVERVIEW EFFECTS FINAL REPORT ABOUT THE GICHD AND THE PROJECT The Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) is an expert organisation working to reduce the impact of mines, cluster munitions and other explosive hazards, in close partnership with states, the UN and other human security actors. Based at the Maison de la paix in Geneva, the GICHD employs around 55 staff from over 15 countries with unique expertise and knowledge. Our work is made possible by core contributions, project funding and in-kind support from more than 20 governments and organisations. Motivated by its strategic goal to improve human security and equipped with subject expertise in explosive hazards, the GICHD launched a research project to characterise explosive weapons. The GICHD perceives the debate on explosive weapons in populated areas (EWIPA) as an important humanitarian issue. The aim of this research into explosive weapons characteristics and their immediate, destructive effects on humans and structures, is to help inform the ongoing discussions on EWIPA, intended to reduce harm to civilians. The intention of the research is not to discuss the moral, political or legal implications of using explosive weapon systems in populated areas, but to examine their characteristics, effects and use from a technical perspective. The research project started in January 2015 and was guided and advised by a group of 18 international experts dealing with weapons-related research and practitioners who address the implications of explosive weapons in the humanitarian, policy, advocacy and legal fields. This report and its annexes integrate the research efforts of the characterisation of explosive weapons (CEW) project in 2015-2016 and make reference to key information sources in this domain.

  • The Use of CANNON in the CIVIL WAS with Particular Reference To
    The Use Of CANNON IN THE CIVIL WAS With Particular Reference to DERBYSHIRE by R. HAYHURST Published by the Local History Section of the DERBYSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY Because of the interest occasioned by ray previous article, (DerbyshireMiscellanyVol.il No.6 p.318-9) and through the useful suggestions of members, I am encouraged to submit these notes, which I hope-will assist in clarifying the picture so far as the use of guns in Derbyshire is concerned. It appears desirable, in order to place the matter in its proper context, to review the situation generally, and to this end I have consulted various works, including the following, to which I am indebted for numerous extracts; Whitelock's Memorials, 1682; Rushworth's Collections, 1659-1701} "Cromwell's Army", by C . H. Firth, 1902} "Castles and Cannon", B. H. St. John O'Neill, "Life of Col. Hutchinson", Lucy Hutchinson} "Memoirs of the Duke of Newcastle", by Margaret, Duchess of Newcastle} "Derbyshire", Pilkington; "Waterloo", John Naylor, I960; and "The Story of the Gun", by Lt. A. W. Wilson, R.A., 1944* Firth quotes expensively from earlier writers, as "Animadversions of War", 1639, "Principles of the Art Military", 1643, etc. Appended to a particular edition of "The Life of Col. Hutchinson" is an excellent day to day account of the Siege of Lathom House. From the gunnery standpoint St. John O'Neill is disappointing, as buildings were his interest and he refers to the gun only insofar as it affects castles and fortifications. Generally there are masses of references to the use of guns, but only very infrequently does one find precise information as to range and effect, and the picture must be built up by extracting appropriate evidence from numerous actions.

  • Pistols, Crime, and Public: Safety in Early America Clayton E. Cramer
    WLR44-4_OLSON-4-25-08 6/3/2008 3:46:03 PM PISTOLS, CRIME, AND PUBLIC: SAFETY IN EARLY AMERICA CLAYTON E. CRAMER1 & JOSEPH EDWARD OLSON2 There is a vigorous debate under way about the scope of the Second Amendment. What are the limits of that right? What “arms” does it protect? Does it protect an individual right to possess and perhaps to carry firearms? The District of Columbia, in its attempt to defend its 1976 gun control law, has argued that the widespread possession of handguns (“pistols”) represents an especially serious public safety hazard, and that even if arguendo, the Second Amendment protects an individual right, it would not extend to pistols, which the District of Columbia characterizes as “uniquely dangerous weapons” that present “unique dangers to innocent persons.”3 This paper examines what was likely the Framer’s original public meaning of the Bill of Rights provision that protects “the right of the people to keep and bear arms,” with no apparent limitations concerning handguns. We do so by examining what the history of pistols in early America tells us about foreseeable technological developments. I. GUNS, ARMS, FIRE-ARMS, PISTOLS: SOME DEFINITIONS A few definitions are appropriate because there have been a few subtle changes in the meaning of some of the terms over the last two centuries. “Gun” had a more restricted meaning in the eighteenth century than it does today, referring in some contexts to privately owned cannon,4 but most often to what today we call long guns: 1.

  • The Introduction of Guns in Japanese History – from Tanegashima to the Boshin War – Oct.3 (Tue) to Nov
    Special Exhibition The Introduction of Guns in Japanese History – From Tanegashima to the Boshin War – Oct.3 (Tue) to Nov. 26 (Sun), 2006 National Museum of Japanese History Outline of Exhibition The history of guns in Early Modern Japan begins with their arrival in 1543 and ends with the Boshin War in 1868. This exhibition looks at the influence that guns had on Japanese politics, society, military and technology over this period of three centuries, as well the unique development of this foreign culture and the process of change that took place while Japan was obtaining military techniques from Europe and the United States at the time of transition from the shogunate to a modern nation state. An enormous number of materials, approximately 300, including new discoveries, form this exhibition arranged in three parts. Since the National Museum of Japanese History first opened its doors, the Museum has conducted research on the history of guns and acquired more materials, mainly due to the efforts of Professor UDAGAWA Takehisa, the Museum's curator responsible for this exhibition. As a result of acquiring the three most renowned gun collections in Japan -- the YOSHIOKA Shin'ichi Gun Collection, ANZAI Minoru Gunnery Materials and part of the TOKORO Sokichi Gun Collection -- our collection of guns, related items and documents is the finest in Japan in terms of both quality and quantity. This exhibition is the culmination of many years spent acquiring guns and the findings of research conducted over that time. * “S.N.“ (Serial Numbers) in this explanatory pamphlet show the numbers written at the upper-left of white plates for each article on display.
