If youre a US player then id suggest you buy this book first before anything else (except for maybe the Hammerfall, Ryans Leathernecks or Bannons Boys boxes as they each come with a rule book). Not only does this boox have everything you need to put together an American Army or USMC list but it also provides you with painting guides, tactics information and back story from the alternate history timeline of the european theatre. If nothing else, itll help you plan out your purchases better and in doing so possibly save you some money.

The book its self is physically well made with no sign of the binding parting like some of the cheaper put together game aids out there. The pages are a rich stock and dont feel as if theyll wear or tear easily with regular usage. Colours and artwork are vibrant whilst still fitting the gritty setting of a european world war 3.

Overall a great product and the Team Yankee team at warlord really did well with it.
