Download or read book The Quintessential Fighter written by Alexander Fennell and published by Mongoose Pub. This book was released on 2002-01-23 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heralded as the first true class book for the d20 system, The Quintessential Fighter provides vital information for any player wishing to exploit his Fighter character to the fullest. Since the game was first created, many years ago, Fighters have always had a rough deal when compared to the more esoteric classes such as Cleric, Rogue and Wizard. The Quintessential Fighter redresses this balance, taking the Fighter class further than it has ever been before. Weighing in at 128 pages, The Quintessential Fighter is jam-packed full of useful rules and rules sub-systems, making this class ever more flexible and capable. Character Concepts: A Fighter is always more than a sword in heavy armour. Through the use of the templates provided within Character Concepts, a player can give his Fighter an entire history and personality quickly and easily. The Prestige Fighter: From the lowly Peasant Hero and Outlaw to the dreaded Bounty Hunter and Knight, the Fighter class is expanded from a faceless warrior into a man or woman capable of forging legends single-handed. Tricks of the Trade: Only a Barbarian launches himself blindly into combat, hacking and slashing at his enemies. The Fighter is an expert in combat and warfare and is able to utilise a vast repertoire of tricks and tactics to overcome his enemies. This chapter fully explores these options and gives new and fully detailed rules for jousting, wrestling, Called Shots and a multitude of others. . . Fighter Feats: No class receives more feats than the Fighter and no book detailing new options for Fighters could be complete without expanding the capabilities of the class. Smite your enemies with the Reckless Charge, nail them at range with Sure Aim and disrupt enemy spellcasters with Combat Caster Defence. Tools of the Trade: Almost more than any other class, Fighters rely on good quality equipment to get their jobs done and The Quintessential Fighter opens up the possibilities for fighters, with a plethora of new weapons, mounts and equipment, all specifically designed for your Fighter to get the best results in battle. Fighting Styles: There are many character classes who profess to be expert in combat, but the true Fighter knows it is only he that can truly master weaponry. A complete new range of Fighting Styles are detailed, allowing any Fighter with perseverance and training to greatly enhance his combat capabilities. Tournaments & Duelling: Not all battles are fought in the wilderness or within dark dungeons. Fully detailed rules are presented allowing Fighters (and other classes, if they dare!) to take part in duels and tournaments, either for honour or pure monetary gain. Mercenaries: Everyone needs a little help now and again, and a Fighter is a true leader of men in combat. Fighters may now hire mercenaries and engage in larger battles against their enemies. The Open Mass Combat System: First presented as a cut-down version within Seas of Blood, The Quintessential Fighter introduces Mongoose Publishing's Open Mass Combat System, the OMCS. Fighters may now lead entire armies against their foes, directing their men as thousands of warriors crash together in bloody battle. Full rules cover multiple units, scouts, the effects of magic, sieges and much, much more. . . Strongholds: There comes a time when every Fighter desires to take a step back from the adventuring life and set about building the greatest fortress known to guard the frontier from marauding enemies and establish his own kingdom. Whilst Wizards skulk in their towers and Clerics waste their time on prayers in temple, the Fighter raises massive, impregnable castles designed to withstand any assault. The Quintessential Fighter provides full rules on how to construct and manage these great strongholds, allowing a Fighter to enter the world of politics, massed warfare and intrigue.

Download or read book Boxing s Greatest Fighters written by Bert Randolph Sugar and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Easily the most enduring of all sports questions is "Who was/is the best . . . ?" Perhaps in no sport is the question more asked and argued over than in boxing. And in boxing perhaps none is more qualified to answer the question than Bert Randolph Sugar. In Boxing's Greatest Fighters, not only does the former publisher of Ring Magazine tell us who the best fighters were, he lists them in order. Could Sugar Ray Robinson have beaten Muhammad Ali? Could Sugar Ray Leonard have beaten Sonny Liston? The answer, most experts agree, would be "no." But what if, as Bert Sugar has done here, one were to take all the boxers and reduce them in the mind's eye to the same height, the same weight, and the same ring conditions? The answers would be quite different. And while some fans may express outrage that Rocky Marciano barely makes the top twenty, and Marvin Hagler staggers into the top seventy-five, others will nod eagerly when they read that Harry Greb and Benny Leonard were better than just about anybody. So whether you read Boxing's Greatest Fighters cover to cover, pick your favorites at random, or simply browse through the many rare photographs, "at the bell, come out arguing."
Download or read book On Fulcrum s Wings written by Mark A. Werkema and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “ON A SECRET AIRSTRIKE MISSION ONE NIGHT, TWO U.S. EX-FIGHTER PILOTS WAGE WAR IN OLD SOVIET MIG-29 FULCRUMS OVER THE SKIES OF IRAQ…” Tensions are building again in the Gulf region. In the many years after the Gulf War, Iraq continues to threaten regional and world peace. Stability and peace in the Gulf are in peril. The U.S. is deeply concerned—action must be taken. Another war is imminent. The famed MiG-29 Fulcrum and the country of Iraq provide the backdrop for a top secret U.S. air strike and form the basis for a special-ops air war like one never attempted before…a daring mission against all odds. The stage is set for war. The MiG-29 Fulcrum is the quintessential foreign fighter of our day. Iraq is the ultimate enemy. A simple twist of fate, a modern-day aerial Trojan Horse, and an unlikely air strike mission turn into an ironic plot of tactical deception in the very act of war. These two pilots are American mercenaries, fighter jocks paid to fight a secret war flying the premiere jet combat fighter in the Iraqi arsenal. Flown with two MiG-29 Fulcrum’s, the Soviet-made state-of-the-art ultimate enemy fighter painted in Iraqi colors it is the ultimate deception in aerial combat. This is the very story of the Second Gulf War. Sometimes an act of war is not what anyone can believe—the very act of war of one nation against another that most would claim is improbable, unbelievable, unimaginable, and even impossible. For this night,they are the enemy.
Download or read book Fighter General written by Raymond F. Toliver and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 1999 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolf Galland began World War II in Poland, as a lieutenant and squadron commander, flying obsolescent biplanes. He ended the war as a Lieutenant General - and was again a squadron commander - this time flying Me 262 jet fighters. In all of aviation history there is no comparable rise and fall by a fighter pilot. The most famous German ace and fighter leader of his generation, Galland's story is simultaneously that of the Luftwaffe Fighter Arm, in which he served from foundation to finish. Fighter General recounts the career of an outstanding combat leader torn from the fighter cockpit to defend his country - and sometimes his own pilots - in the bizarre bureaucracy of the Luftwaffe High Command. Galland's battles against the Allied air forces, both as a general and in individual combat, hold no less drama than his head-on battles with Goering and Hitler. Galland's triumphs and tragedies, his friends and his flames, his humor and heartaches pulse anew in Fighter General. Here in this official biography is real-life adventure to shame the wildest fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable portrait of the heroic people who faced the threat of extermination by the Nazis and resisted by any means possible—whether through boxing, exposing the reality of death camps, armed guerrilla attacks, or deadly acts of vengeance. In Holocaust Fighters: Boxers, Resisters, and Avengers, Jeffrey Sussman shares the riveting stories of those who fought back against the Nazis. The lives of five boxers who were forced to fight for their lives while imprisoned in concentration camps are explored in depth, followed by the stories of those who managed to escape captivity and reveal the truth about the death camps. Sussman also depicts in fascinating detail the acts of the Avengers, a military unit that hunted down and killed Nazi war criminals. The final portraits are of the prosecutors who brought the Nazi leaders to justice, those same leaders who watched Jewish and Gypsy boxers beat each other for their own personal entertainment. Holocaust Fighters is an incredible account of the many ways people resisted Nazi rule, providing moving portrayals of the resilience of the human spirit even in the face of incredible horrors.

Book excerpt: Two complete novels in the New York Times best-selling series, all in one generous volume. Crusade: Neither side in the Human-Orion war was strong enough to defeat the other, so it fizzled into an uneasy peace filled with hatred and mistrust on both sides. Then a ship appeared from the dim mists of half-forgotten history, and fired on the Orion sentry ship, igniting the fires of interstellar war anew, in a quest to free Holy Mother Terra. In Death Ground: The human race and two other star traveling races had warred with each other in the past, but now all three are at peace-a peace which is shattered by the discovery of a fourth race, the "Bugs." The newcomers are mind-numbingly alien in their thought processes, have overwhelming numbers, and regard all other species as fit only to be food animals. There is no hope for peace with the invaders, and the galaxy explodes with a battle to the death. Kill-or be eaten!
