Dear Reader, One dark and stormy night, I found some strange
scattered pages abandoned in a park... I collected and assembled
them, trying to solve the mystery of this unexpected discovery, and
I am now passing the task on to you. Your mission is to become the
new author of this work. You will continue the research and provide
the content. In order to complete the task, you will have to
undergo some secret intelligence training, which I have included in
this volume. Since no one knows what lies ahead, please proceed
with caution, but know... This book does not exist without you.
Yours truly, Keri Smith

There are things that dwell in the dark places of the world, in
long-abandoned crypts or musty attics—terrible things that can
destroy your body and shatter your mind. Few individuals would
think to seek out such nightmares, but those drawn into the
darkness often find it infecting them, corrupting them in ways both
subtle and disgusting. Some believe those who die facing such
horrors are the lucky ones, for the survivors are forever scarred
by their experiences. Pathfinder RPG Horror Adventures gives you
everything you need to bring these nightmares to life. Within these
pages, you'll find secrets to take your game into the darkest
reaches of fantasy, where the dead hunger for the living, alien
gods brood in dreams, and madness and death lurk around every
corner. Rules for players and GMs alike pit brave champions against
a darkness capable of devouring mind, body, and soul. To prepare to
face such torments, the heroes can take new feats, learn powerful
spells, and even acquire holy relics—for they'll need every edge
possible to survive! Pathfinder RPG Horror Adventures includes: •
Corruptions that can turn your character into a powerful monster,
from a blood-drinking vampire to a savage werewolf. The only cost
is your soul! • Character options to help heroes oppose the
forces of darkness, including horror-themed archetypes, feats,
spells, and more! • A detailed system to represent sanity and
madness, giving you all the tools you need to drive characters to
the brink and beyond. • Tips and tools for running a genuinely
scary game, along with an in-depth look at using horror's many
subgenres in a Pathfinder campaign. • Expanded rules for curses,
diseases, environments, fleshwarping, haunts, and deadly traps. •

There have been many books written about German forces fighting on
the Eastern Front. This is hardly surprising considering the
enormity of the campaign and the seemingly inexhaustible amount of
data and photographs available. Concord is pleased to release one
more title, authored by Gordon Rottman, focusing on this crucial
campaign in the East. This volume is all about the infantry at the
core of Germany's military exploits in the enormous expanse of
Russia. The opening text delves into the complexities of the
standard German infantry division. Though usually short on
motorized transport, these self-contained combined-arms units
fought extremely effectively, penetrating almost to the gates of
Moscow. The introduction includes a detailed table of organization
listing all major and minor subunits (usefully provided in both
English and German). It then proceeds with an annotated description
of key divisional components, which is very helpful in
understanding how a division is equipped. As is par for this series
of books, the collection of black and white photos forms the
centerpiece. These photos show infantrymen from the early days of
the conflict through to much later periods. Members of many
branches are on display, for example, artillery, assault pioneers,
military police, antitank, reconnaissance and infantry. The photos
reveal a host of interesting details and show weapon systems found
in the infanterie division. This book also features a set of four
color plates expertly illustrated by Stephen Andrew. These depict
infantrymen and panzer grenadiers in a wide range of uniforms
fighting in various seasons and regions. Photo and color plate
captions are well detailed and thorough, providing a wealth of
information. This is a very helpful book for those wishing to learn
more about those soldiers at the"coal face" of Germany's
extraordinarily grueling campaign in the East.
First published in 1975, this book deals with the most popular
period for fighting sea battles in miniature- the First and Second
World Wars. It brings together all the information that the naval
wargamer needs when tackling the 20th century era. This edition
includes three new chapters not included in the previous editions.
The author takes the reader through his own rules, which aim above
all at practical playability and they are illustrated by numerous
diagrams. Based on a simplified Fletcher Pratt damage system, they
cover movement, gunnery, torpedoes, as well as submarines and air
craft. The rules are shown in action in the defence of a convoy in
the Adriatic Sea in 1915 and the hunt for a Japanese raiding
cruiser in 1942. Naval campaigns are also discussed, with the
example of a semi historical-naval campaign around Korea in 1918.
China and Korea are facing Russia and Japan. The campaign rules
describe practical ways to manage fuel, combat at sea, allocating
ships, use of troops etc.
Fiddle making, spring houses, horse trading, sassafras tea, berry buckets, gardening, and other affairs of plain living are the topics covered in this volume.

The newest addition to Concord's Warrior series is this title from
Gordon Rottman. The accomplished author examines the typical German
soldier as he appeared as Blitzkrieg was unleashed upon an
under-prepared and overconfident Western Europe. The coverage
extends from the abrupt end of the British-labeled Phony War (or
Sitting War [Sitzkrieg] as the Germans called it) through to the
victory parades in France after the successful conclusion of the
campaign. The much-vaunted French Army had 78 divisions and 2,235
tanks, this latter figure being more than Germany itself possessed.
Hitler launched his attack, codenamed Case Yellow (Fall Gelb), in
the early hours of 10 May 1940. By the 17th, Brussels had fallen,
and by the 19th discussions were already beginning about the
possibility of withdrawing the British Expeditionary Force (BEF)
from France. German troops entered Paris on 14 June, with an
armistice surrendering France finally being signed on 22 June. This
stunning and swift victory did not come cheaply, though, with
Germany suffering 27,000 dead, 18,000 missing, and 111,000 wounded.
This volume shows the triumphant German soldier as he is engaged in
this campaign in the West. The black and white photos reveal
interesting details about uniforms, weapons, equipment, and in some
cases, even vehicles. The photos each receive informative captions
that provide useful background details. Another feature is the four
color plates by Stephen Andrew. These portray various types of
soldiers with helpful notes about their uniforms and weapons. This
is a handy volume and will be especially useful to modelers or
military historians wanting to see German soldiers in action in the
early-war period. The combination of photos, illustrations and
photos provide a valuable introduction to this interesting but
often neglected period of WWII.
