I thought at first you had found a new famous five book by Enid Blyton  :D
a nice picture to be sure, but is it me or does the big beasty near the fleece look a whole lot like a conger eel?
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Also from Osprey Adventures in 2013, the return of the fan-favourite Dark Osprey series! Following on from Zombies: A Hunter’s Guide comes The Nazi Occult in June 2013.

The Nazi Occult
In the dark dungeons beneath Nazi Germany, teams of occult experts delved into ancient and forbidden lore, searching for lost secrets of power. Ordered by Hitler to discover new weapons that could be unleashed on his enemies, the occultists experimented with dark magics, mystical artifacts, and creatures thought only to exist in nightmare. This book tells the complete history of the Nazi occult programs, from their foundations in Hitler’s early esoteric studies and the quests for the Ark of the Covenant, the Spear of Destiny, and the Holy Grail, through their experiments with lycanthropes and zero-point energy. It also includes sections on the shadow war fought in the dying days of the Reich as the Nazis sought to stave off defeat through pacts with diabolic entities, attempts to preserve the Fuhrer’s brain, and the deployment of the strange flying saucers that battled to save the final Nazi stronghold in the Antaractic.  For years, the Allied governments worked to keep this information from reaching the public, and sought to discredit those few who dared to seek the truth. Now, using a combination of photography and artwork reconstructions, the true story of the most secret battles of World War II can finally be told.

C'mon!!!

This is pure Pulp gaming.  How cool is that!?!

Indiana Jones figures please LEON.  And Hellboy, Cpt America Hydra, Iron Skies, etc.

All good stuff.

So let me get this straight, are these are stand alone wargames /rpg/scenarios or just fluff info etc?

If they are just the latter, then thats pretty lame, but the prospect of the stand alone tabletop game is quite interesting. Don't they do a zombie book in this range thats already out? And does anyone know if thats just a fluff book or a game?

Answers on a postcard.....? :D
