Military History & Wargames
| American Civil War Cartography Office: Our sister site, specializing in user-created Talonsoft BG scenarios. Also contains the comprehensive list of all ACW scenarios available to members of the ACGWC. |
Quite simply, the reason my ACW Campaign Games design Center webpage exists. HPS is one of the most prolific computer wargames publishers I have ever run across. |
Unofficial HPS American Civil War Discussion Board: Rich Hamilton's Unofficial HPS American Civil War Discussion Board for the HPS series of Civil War Games. |
Rolf Hall's ACW Campaign Games: Rolf Hall's site is dedicated to Corinth add-ons. These include maps, scenarios, and graphics. |

Baseball & The St. Louis Cardinals
|
St. Louis Cardinals Forum at Fanhome: This is the most knowledgeable group of fans like you or me I've seen who talk about Cardinals baseball. |
Cardinals' News at the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch: The Sports section for the only newspaper in town. |
Redbird Nation Cardinals Weblog: Brian Gunn runs this unbelievably excellent weblog concentrating on my beloved Cardinals. If half the dumb*ssed sportswriters (cough...Phil Rogers...cough) who hate the Cardinals for some reason would read Brian's site, I wouldn't have to write emails to these guys pointing out obvious inaccuracies and flaws in their reasoning. |
St. Louis Cardinals Official Site: This is the Cardinals official site at MLB.com. |
|
Ray Mileur and Brian Walton run this Cards' fansite, and it is very well done. |
Baseball Prospectus is a collection of statheads who love to try to quantify nearly everything quantifiable in the game of baseball. These guys seem to have an anti-Tony LaRussa (and hence anti-Cardinals) stance, but I enjoy reading their annual preview book and also some of the things at their website. |
The Baseball-Reference website gives fans an easily accessible place online to look up stats from years past. |
Society For American Baseball research: What a cool group. If I weren't so interested in so many other things, I'd have a membership in this group. Their mission statement is to foster the study of baseball, past, present, and future. |
|
Retrosheet was founded in 1989 for the purpose of computerizing play-by-play accounts of as many pre-1984 major league games as possible. |
Diamond Mind Baseball is a text-based ultra-realistic simulation of each season of baseball. I give them credit as the only major forecaster to predict the Cardinals would finish first in 2004. |
