[GZG] Among the Heroes

[Fred Kiesche <godel2escher2bach@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings:

I like the film, a lot, but like the book better. The double DVD version of the film has a ton of
extras that are worth getting just for the extras. For example, a very good "Frontline"
documentary.

As for the downed chopper pilot, that would be Mike Durant. He wrote a personal account, "In the
Company of Heroes" that is a good read, but not quite as good as the book "Blackhawk Down".

Original Mark Bowden series can still be read online, BTW:

I think I recall some miniatures versions of BHD at Historicon or another con. Something that I
always wanted to do, or adapt to a SG-style or Hammer's Slammers style setting.

On Hammer's Slammers: Anybody see a US source for the rules and minis? I've only found one so far
(On Military Matters) and they only seem to have the first book or a "starter pack" with the first
book and some minis (15mm), none of the 25mm minis or the second book.
