Despite a spirited defence from the opening hours of the Normandy invasion in June 1944, Hitler's forces in northern France were comprehensively defeated and forced to retreat westward. Although their position was strengthened considerably following Operation Dragoon - the landing in southern France in August 1944 - the Allies were faced with considerable logistical problems as they advanced towards Germany, spreading their lines of communications and support thinner with every mile. Operation Market Garden, the massive airborne assault of September 1944, failed to meet its objectives and the momentum of the Allied advance was further threatened. German forces were able to capitalize on this and with mounting pressure from the east as Soviet forces prepared for a winter offensive, Hitler decided to launch one last gamble - a massive counter offensive against the Allies in December 1944. The German assault (including 45-divisions) launched against American defenders dug in across the Ardennes region led to the largest single battle fought by the US Army in the entire twentieth century. The stakes could not have been higher for either side - for Germany it truly was a last attempt to avoid being completely overwhelmed by the Western Allies, whilst for the American forces bearing the brunt of the assault, there was a very real threat that a German breakthrough could have undone all of the successes since D-Day. Code named Operation Watch on the Rhine by German forces, the initial successes of the campaign led to a worrying and distinctive bulge in the Allied front line, leading to the Allied press giving the offensive an immortal moniker: The Battle of the Bulge. Battle Of The Bulge is a campaign expansion to Bolt Action & compatible with both 1st and 2nd editions. Crammed with scenarios, new units and new rules whilst still giving some historical background for context. Everything you need to explore one of the most complex series of engagements in the European Theatre of Operations is within the 124 pages of this full colour book. The Battle Of The Bulge campaign book is divided into easy sections that take a brief look at a particular historical time frame, the combatants involved (including any special characters that made an appearance) - then move on to introduce the special Bolt Action scenario, with any special rule or new units clearly explained, along with the recommended force selectors to use when preparing your forces.

A Fun and Wild Ride
Format: Kindle
Two brothers in arms go on amazing adventures, face impossible odds, and grow in ways they never expected. Down to earth, humble, and relatable characters with a continuously evolving storyline, what more could you ask for? Cool weapons and abilities? Epic battles? Magic? Yeah, it’s got all that too. This series just became a must read on my LitRPG recommendation list.

Excellent Parallel Worlds and Xianxia Story
Format: Kindle
The story follows two affable characters, Rugrat and Eric. Rugrat is a wonderfully written redneck and Erik plays the role of an exasperated and loyal brother in arms. The two main characters interactions between each other bring interesting banter to the different parts of the story that other wise progress too slowly. It’s a cultivation novel and the main characters often take a great deal of time learning more about the system and how they can leverage its powers. The magic system in world combines well with the parallel world aspect, and the main characters thrive in their new environment. The stats, like in many other stories in this genre, serve as relatively arbitrary plot pieces that could be easily handled without the stats. The potential for growth and the magic systems interesting interactions with modern technology makes the magic satisfying to read about. My favorite aspect of the story so far is the clashing of the honorable soldier mentality with the “might makes right” philosophy of martial arts cultivation novels. Though it’s clear the author heavily favors one philosophy over the other. A great read, and an excellent novel to enjoy as an audiobook.

Xianxia-inspired novel I can actually read
Format: Kindle
I've read (or attempted to read) several wuxia/xianxia stories in the past. This is probably the best of that genre that I've tried. I know, such a titillating opening statement, but hear me out: this story is very good. NOT great, but not the typical "my eyes wish to bleed from my skull" experience, either. Most Chinese fantasy is bad. I wish that were not so, hence me trying to find good stories. In general, the stories don't make a lot of sense, and the grammar and repetitive phrasing makes the translations a generally terrible experience. Coming from a background of looking at college student papers, I've had my fill of bad grammar and poor sentence structure; I don't need more. With an English speaking author at the helm, however, this was a pleasant ride. There were a few grammatical errors but nothing to get my pants in a twist over. The story mostly makes sense, with only the two main characters occasionally speaking like locals throwing me off a bit, as well as the two of them growing so used to elements of their surroundings and quest rewards. It just felt a little unnatural in places. My biggest gripe is how they suddenly sprout knowledge of city planning and infrastructure. That really felt out of character, and came out of left field. Other than that, I think this was a solid first entry for this series.

Great great great but …..
Format: Kindle
Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this review this is a five star book. I have to say that starting out it is a five star book now rarely is a book absolutely perfect don’t get me wrong there are some classics in this genre or others that are just perfect now since this is the first book in the series it’s not perfect there are some points where concepts could’ve been made clear there are some points where things run a little long arcs in the story run a little long but overall it’s a 10. Imagine you going to a five star immaculate restaurant you sit down to eat and the waiter brings you your food they make one mistake they spill a drop of wine on the tablecloth is that a big deal no does it diminish the experience no but you notice it. Same thing here. No onto some specifics 10 realms has a great progression system two dynamic MC’s and a sort of bro shooter story. That’s what you get here and you get lots of that here. When you finish the book you’re going to want to move onto the next so you know it’s a great book now there are times when the story slows down it goes a little too slow in the middle of the book again you could flip through and to be past it but ultimately you can read through it and you will be better for it. Is it that bad no not really but you do notice it. Once the story really picks back up your back into it and like I said you’re going to want to continue it. Since it is the first book in the series I can understand this problem I’d like many others look forward to seeing what is next.

Interesting twist on an Isekai
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this novel. Not only are the two main characters well developed, but so are the side characters. The slice-of-life setup is done well, with with you (the reader) being pulled along into the story. Right from the beginning, the author is successful in getting you to be fully invested in their struggles. While the book could stand to have another editorial pass, it does not detract greatly from the story. I also really enjoyed the Beast Mountain Trials. Far from your standard dungeon run, the - contestants? participants? contender? - whatever you want to call the people who participate in the Trials alongside Erik and Rugrat, who sort of fall into the Trials while trying to just live their lives and figure out how the Ten Realms things works, all participate in the different levels to see how far they can go. While the sect elders seem to understand that passing all the levels grants that person control of the dungeon, it also seems like everybody else who participates (or has participated) stops short of the last trial. Well, either that or, while they may successfully withstand the waves of beasts - the letter of the quest - they fail in the spirit of the quest, and thus fail to "beat" the dungeon. Given the way the villagers respond to Erik and Rugrat almost every time they do something to improve the villagers - often at their own expense or sacrifice - it is clear that the Ten Realms is very much a Darwin-esque universe. The strong rise to the top; the weak fall to the bottom. Yet, the many citizens of the universe, at least in the First Realm, have clearly failed to realize that they are stronger together. Which is perhaps why no one else has successfully completed the Beast Mountain Trials. Finally, while I knew that Erik and Rugrat were going to enact their revenge upon the Moon Healing House, I did not expect ... that. Not to say that it wasn't warranted, not out of character. Nor was is really unexpected. Not really. I was just a little surprised at the sheer coldness of it. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book, as Erik and Rugrat ascend to Second Realm to continue their work toward healing the dungeon.
