by Ted Nomura World War II: 1946 goes where even its predecessor series, Luftwaffe: 1946, did not ? extending to the Pacific Theater and the Russian Front. In this alternate history of World War II, the ripples of change begin decades earlier, with German air ace Hermann Goring killed in 1917, and U.S. Army Captain Harry Truman in 1918. Secret German finds in Mongolia and Antarctica in 1937 and '38 allow Hitler to expand his plans for Earth. In 1940: a cease-fire with England. In 1941: Moscow falls. All the while, the Holocaust kills millions. But the worst turn for the allies comes in May of 1944, when a dress-rehearsal for D-Day ? Operation Tiger ? ends in disaster, and Hitler discovers through captured papers that the Allied plan for invasion is indeed Normandy! With D-Day prolonged into a war of attrition, the war extends to 1946. Now follow this altered conflict through the eyes of our enemies, with "Angels of the Luftwaffe" returning in this issue, and the advanced "Japanese Kamikaze: 1946" missions starting next issue under the title "Born to Die." FC, 20pg$2.50" Cover price $2.50.

by Ted Nomura BORN TO DIE?In April 1945, the Japanese 70,000-ton battleship Yamato, armed with the first experimental atomic bomb, became the ultimate kamikaze on its way to join the Battle of Okinawa. But Yamato was sunk en route by overwhelming American air power. With America's own atomic program delayed, the invasion of Japan commenced in late 1945 with terrible casualties, as predicted, on both sides. By 1946, in their desperation for defense, the Japanese throw everything into their arsenal, including suicide frogmen and schoolkids flying crude rocket kamikazes. FC, 20pg" Cover price $2.50.

by Ted Nomura In December 1941, the same month of the infamous Pearl Harbor attack in real history, the biggest and the most powerful battleship in the world, the IMS Yamato, was secretly commissioned. So secretly, in fact, that most of the people in Japan didn't even know of its existence until after World War II, when it no longer existed! The Yamato was designated as "Special Battleship Number 1" for most of those who actually got to see it during wartime. Only the crew and other special people knew its real name, taken from the old name for Japan and its people in the current province. The Yamato-Damashii, or "Yamato Spirit," is the cause the Japanese used to fight a desperate war; a war that they feared might end the Japanese as a race. With this conviction, the Kamikaze forces threw everything they had against the invading military, including the battleship itself. But in this altered war, the Yamato and her sister ships will fight an even more deadly game, because the United States was unable to prepare their atomic bombs against Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
