This review is from: Dogs of War (World of Darkness) (Hardcover)

Like what Tales from the 13th Precinct covered for Law Enforcement in WOD, Dogs of War covers much the same breadth and scope for the Military and War in WOD. It's a great starting point to cover for STs and Players who want to play military characters or incorporate War Stories and scenarios in a Chronicle. This book does a fine job of delivering the nitty gritty without any sugar coating.

This review is from: Dogs of War (World of Darkness) (Hardcover)

The book was written by a British guy who hadn't even served in the military and didn't know the first thing about it. He's admitted he culled info from wikis and the severe gaps and inaccuracies SHOW! Did White Wolf TRY to look for someone who would know the furthest away from what the source material was about on this one? Probably their usual "if you play combat characters you're a twink!" policy.
