Sure It would be very nice and very helpful When preparing tactics and strategy for a game. For a long scenario, it could be interesting to find a book dealing with the same campaign or battle.

I'd like to see something that allow to quickly select a book according to one or several criteria such as tactic, battle, campaign, generalities, uniform ...

Also people could add comments.

Could also have a selection of books in different languages

Thanks, [:)]

John - this and a list of the most common questions asked about both series would REALLY be helpful for ALL club members.

Anything from "Ernie's Corner" which would be a place where alot of Ernie Sands' tech notes could be posted to the reminder to delete the temp files for various reasons to how to fix other issues is really needed.

Thru the years we get alot of the same questions. What are good books? Where can I find more scenarios? How do I fix this or that?

Alot of this could be answered for the members faster via a website that each new member is introduced to when they join and a one time orientation for existing members.

Great idea. If titles could be annotated: "available electronically" this would be very helpful also.

Hi all,

great idea, it will be very helpful.

Is there any way to categorize books? kind of "tactical", "strategic", "politic", "uniform, armor, weapon ..." to allow a quick search.

Thanks a lot,

Olivier

John, this is a nice list of fields that should be in the list.

Looks good to go for me.
