This was a fantastic adventure tale, all the more fascinating because it was true, and well told in the understated style of the era. Even in the most trying situations, the author is matter of fact about the seriousness of their predicament, proving to me anyway that our forebears were a tougher lot than we could imagine being.

A "must" read for any serious hunter who would like some idea of how it was done prior to advent of Super Cubs.

Native Americans fought in both Union and Confederate units during the Civil War and the Indian Territory saw its share of battles and campaigns, some of which spilled into nearby states. Some of the detail is a bit mind-numbing but if you are a reenactor or modeler this is probably the kind of detail that you need. The photos and artwork make this a must-have if this chapter of U.S. history is of interest to you.

This book helpful because it reveals details that might not ever be discovered otherwise -- like at what distance each weapon's accuracy falls off, or where hidden hatches are located for quicker access into buildings.
There are strategy tips, but they are helpful only for beginners. The maps are somewhat helpful, but more shots of the buildings and interiors were in order. Instead, you mostly get 3 different top views of the terrain, and each emphasizes a different aspect of the map (ie. terrain, buildings, and something else which escapes me at the moment.) One of those should have been skipped and instead had internal building layouts where crucial objectives occur.
Finally, they overlooked some things that surprised me. One example is the little colored triangles that appear above each player and why thy change colors and what that represents.
Overall, it was worth purchasing used. And it's an amazing game.

Territories presents excellent setting design tools for W:tF and, to a lesser extent, the WoD generally.

Territories is a resource for Storytellers interested in fleshing out the all-important land werewolves have dedicated themselves to protect. Building a setting for a Chronicle can be a daunting task, but with the tools and suggestions found in Territories it becomes a lot easier. While this product has a Werewolf focus a lot of the suggestions and story hooks found within could be applied to any World of Darkness game.
The biggest flaw of this product is Chapter 2, which reads more like a general introduction to Storytelling than a part of a book focused on Territories. Despite that, the other two chapters are so good they pick up any slack lost in the middle of the product. Example territories, useful places to put into any game, how territory is gained, lost, changed, and an otherwise complete description of everything that could be included in a setting. Information on how to get characters involved in their territory, how to build a territory with players at the start of a Chronicle, and how to otherwise make territory an important part of the game is presented.

I just completed playing RTCW. This book made it possible. It gave quick concise directions and tips for finding secret areas, treasure and how to kill/defeat Nazis and monsters. This is a must if you plan to play RTCW with knowledge. The guides with the game are never adequate in explaining strategy and providing maps to each level.
A definite must have for playing this game.
It's okay, but...

I have to agree with ceres r that this book is hardly worth the money. The writing, like in many strategy guides, is very poor, but it does get the job done. However, I find it hard to believe that anyone would need help with the single-player in the first place. The best part about wold is the multi-play, and this is where hte book really comes up short.
I would reccomend searching the net for walkthroughs and tips. Save your money for something more useful, like the upcoming expansion for wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!

You would think that a book of this nature that one author would suffice however Prima credited no less than four authors expertise on the RtCW game.
I found the writing to be extremely childish however for my purposes the content sufficed. The guide does exactly what it is expected to do which is to walk the novice Wolfensteiner through the pc platform version of the game. ... Save your money and check the net instead for further reference....
