Thanks for the tip. I still owe you a big one for calling my attention to the first set. I'm just wrapping up a book on the TD Force, and having the disks saved me untold time and annoyance in running off to the Green Book set at the National Archives, which is the only complete set I know of around here. Cheers.

From my correspondence with CMH, there is to be a new set on CD every six months until the entire Green Book series is on CD, plus the pamphlets on every campaign put out for the 50th anniversary in 1995.

I bought the European set after you gave the details. They are wonderful. Excellent value and convenient access to the official history. Plus I can load it at work and read it when I have time without the corporate e-spies noticing.

Reading paper is better, but these are excellent productions at a bargain price.

Just wanted to check..does the European Theater CD come with the maps that were at the back of the original green books? My local library has two of the original green books and the maps at the back are outstanding..... :D
Thanks

All maps are included. They print pretty well also. Believe me it's a great bargain.
