Battlefield Research

I have had a life-long interest in warfare, in particular the Second World War and post WW2 period. I have read very widely on the subject and travelled widely throughout Europe to many of the WW2 battlefields and areas of interest. This knowledge is useful for creating realistic battle scenarios, architectural modelling and the development of good game artificial intelligence and level layouts.

Tactics and Game AI

I have had a life-long interest in military history and have been a prolific reader on the subject. I have been particularly interested in 20th Century warfare and especially the Second World War.

Throughout my career I have been able to draw upon my extensive knowledge of warfare to develop and enhance the A.I. of the combat games I have worked on; primarily Without Warning and Dogs of War.

St Nazaire U-boat Pens Photographs

Sainte-Nazaire

I visited Sainte-Nazaire in 1997. This port on the west coast of France was the scene of a dramatic British commando raid and the base for two U-boat flotillas. Sainte Nazaire had the largest dry dock on the German controlled Atlantic coast. It was the only port capable of servicing the Bismark and Tirpitz. This huge strategic importance made it the target of Operation Chariot, a British commando raid, on March 28th 1942. Sainte-Nazaire was also the home of 2 U-boat flotillas and still has the 14 U-boat pens that were created to house and service them.
