Plans for Fall or Falling Plans

That mocking laughter you hear is from Charleton Heston, greatest Jew since Moses, 'Plans!'

While off on holiday we did positively no work.

Now that we're back we have positively tons of work to do.

We're getting Polish Storm ready and wrapping up The Final Storm. 

We'll also be working on the Pershing back log.

As we write this Debbie has Pershing in Command. Getting that MS out there should be no problem. It is what it is, and there is nothing more that we can do to it.

[That's what she said!-Ed]

Miss me, Ed?

[No.-Ed]

Well bugger off then.

[Love to. Cheers-Ed]

Anyway we have two other Pershing projects. The first of these is a compilation of articles all written from scratch* exploring in greater detail some of the battles of the AEF. These battles include the mighty Rainbows on the Marne and the 3rd Division's brilliant crossing and clearing of same. Also in this book are two chapters lopped off from Pershing in Command. It is possible we will axe two other chapters.

The biggest project remaining is Pershing's War: 1919, which stands at 30,000 words. We've knocked off the first part and know what happens next. Let's just call it Patton's Tanks: 1918, with a cameo from a certain British tank theorist with a lot of initials in his name. We lamented earlier that Pershing's War 1919, though well and interestingly written....

[If you do say so yourself-Ed]

You're back! I do, Ed....didn't really have a purpose, a McGuffin if you will. Well, we have that McGuffin: 'Gentlemen', Pershing began , 'In over two hundred years of warfare the German army has never been broken...'  There you go.**

We'll also be making a few adjustments to this blog. First,' we'll be reviving Battle Extraordinaire. Second, we'll be adding a few shorter bits, a daily Stroockism, and a few real short takes, Instapundit style. We're permanently killing Monday Metal. We've nothing left to say.***

*Two of which just appeared in the British Military Heritage Monthly.

**I suppose one could argue the Prussians at Austerlitz. But the Krauts just bided there time and came back with a vengeance in 1812.

***Should we revive the Tuesday Tally then?
