VR Designs DC:Community Project updated to v0.93

Get yourself the latest update of VR Designs DC:Community Project. Here are the changes & improvements - "Added Scale Mode 2.5 km / hex to the VR Basic Library (more air range, lower stack limit, less lethality, slower entrench) and the option to make rounds increase with Hours instead of Days. Masterfile now has Artillery defined as movement type for Guns. It has been set to the same values as the previous Foot movement type of the Guns. This thus changes nothing, but allows the scenario designer to overrule the movement cost of Guns using the Custom Move Cost Tables of the VR Basic Library. People statistic of the Commanders is shown in the Simple Editor now (remember that proper scenario design means the same people for all commanders in one officer library)."

General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck’s East Africa Campaign

Maneuver Warfare on the Serengeti, is an interesting thesis  by F. Jon Nesselhuf. "General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck’s East African Campaign was a conventional war of movement. Lettow based his operations on the military principles deduced from his thorough German military education and oversea deployments to China and German South West Africa."

Marshal Tukhachevsky and the "Deep Battle"

An Analysis of Operational Level Soviet Tank and Mechanized Doctrine, 1935-1945, by Peter J. Vlakancic. "Gluboky boi (Глубокий бой). Those two words vividly describe the doctrinal concept of Marshal of the Soviet Union Mikhail N. Tukhachevsky. In English we would call it 'deep battle.' Although promulgated by the marshal and his students throughout the Red Army in the early 1930s, it was not to survive Stalin's purges. Nor was the marshal. The death of Tukhachevsky, along with hundreds of junior commanders who might have put the doctrine into practice, heralded a period of intellectual stagnation and the disastrous performance of the Red Army in the opening battles of the Great Patriotic War."
