Background History and Maps\nBurning Empires - The Battle for the Mediterranean\nBurning Empires is a different sort of book than you might be expecting. Think of this book as 'Part II', or a compendium, to Hellfire and Back. It covers all of major forces that fought in the Mediterranean Theatre during 1940 and 1941 that are not covered in Hellfire and Back, such as the Fucilieri, Greeks, and French. With these two books you should be able to field all of the major forces in the region.\nBurning Empires also covers the wide world of the desert raiding war. Deep in the Sahara Desert, another war was being waged and Burning Empires drops you in the middle of that fight between Axis and Allied Special Forces. This raiding war will introduce you to another type of Flames Of War battles where high mobility, not thick armor, is the decisive factor in victory.
