Updates of This Site

A few pictures from previous wars (still adding) Please send your suggestions for this site

From Tomonaga:
     I set up this site because I really enjoyed the Gulf War, and I want to help Ansteorrans who are unfamiliar with the War get ready for fighting there.  This site will be updated as new information comes in.  It is intended mainly for those interested in missile weapons and heavy combat, and covers nuts-and-bolts aspects of the event and the site that are not spelled out in the host kingdom's publications.  People who are seeking information on non-combat activities, or about Gulf War rules, are advised to follow this link to the Gulf War web site.
     Most of what's written here comes from my own observations, and is admittedly subjective.  If you want to advance different ideas, great!  Send them--I would like to see this used as forum for people to trade experiences and ideas about the War.  If you have any useful information that you want to see added, or if you find a mistake that needs correcting, please use the link above to let me know.

Many of the small images on these pages are linked. To view them full-size and to know where they come from, click on them.
