For our Chronological walk through of World War II’s major campaigns we will use this timeline below as our primary guide sourced from www.historyplace.com , this includes some other comments on major events as well which I thought nice for further simple details. Inserted links will be to the AARs, reports and video of all the game play.
For each event we cover, I hope to have maps to see the actual actions, and a link to either an AAR or Video play thru of the titles OR both! For larger longer titles such as DAK2, there will be a single link to the start and will leave it to you to find the rest via WordPress and Youtube Search.
