    Interesting videos

    A very good BBC documentary series from 1985 - Soldiers "A History of Men in Battle" narrated by Frederick Forsyth

    Great for showing younger players who didn't live through the cold war, or have never served in the military. Video quality is a bit poor, but still watchable.
    If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.

    Nothing happens in isolation - it's called "the butterfly effect"

    Is it based on the Keegan book of the same name/roughly same time period
    I scored a mint illustrated first edition and it seems like it would be very well suited to a multipart documentary production.
    Author of Twilight 2000 adventure modules, Rook's Gambit and The Poisoned Chalice, the campaign sourcebook, Korean Peninsula, the gear-book, Baltic Boats, and the co-author of Tara Romaneasca, a campaign sourcebook for Romania, all available for purchase on DriveThruRPG:

        You could say that. It's basically the companion video to the book. Same writers, and Forsyth wrote the foreword to the book (in addition to narrating the series).

              I can't remember if I've mentioned this before, or seen it mentioned...
              The BBC iPlayer has a selection of video clips from the 1960s- archive recollections of survivors of World War I. Most are 20-30 minutes long.
              The clips were done for the Imperial War Museum, which I believe has many more- the BBC is showing 13. They include Cecil Lewis, author of Sagittarius Rising, describing aerial reconnaissance and combat; Horace Birks, a tank commander who went on to command an armoured division in WWII and Charles Carrington, a teenage platoon commander on the Somme who was leading a company by the time he was 20.
              For those outside the UK, you'll probably need a VPN to pretend to be in the country, then go to www.bbc.co.uk, click the tab for iPlayer, then Categories, then History, then the alphabetical listing for The Great War.
              Plans are afoot to make the iPlayer chargeable for anyone who does not have a UK TV licence, so I can recommend having a loom soon.
              I laugh in the face of danger. Then I hide until it goes away.
