AFTER ACTION REVIEW posted on 2 AUG 2002 by Allan Parent

It assumes the Allied 1st Landing Brigade, with its greater firepower, made the initial assault on the Arnhem bridges. I will be playing the Germans.

Windtalkers

MOVIE REVIEW posted on 26 JUN 2002 by Allan Parent

"Windtalkers, directed by John Woo and written by John Rice and Joe Batteer attempts to show the exploits of one particular "code-talker," Ben Yahzee (Adam Beach) and the marine assigned to protect him and the code, Sergeant Joe Enders (Nicholas Cage). The film does a pretty good job of developing the characters of Beach and Cage, with both undergoing serious changes throughout the film."
