Wu Peifu

Wu Peifu, Wade-Giles romanization Wu P’ei-fu, (born April 22, 1874, Penglai, Shandong province, China—died Dec. 4, 1939, Beijing), Chinese warlord who dominated Beijing from 1917 to 1924.

The son of a tradesman, Wu joined the famous Beiyang Army of Yuan Shikai, the leading general of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911/12) and the first president of the Republic of China, and rapidly rose to high position. After Yuan’s death in 1916, Wu became the chief bulwark of the shaky Beijing government. In 1922 Wu came into conflict with Zhang Zuolin, the Manchurian warlord who had begun to extend his control into North China near Beijing. Wu secured his position in central China and then in a series of battles drove Zhang Zuolin’s army back to its Manchurian base. As a result he became the dominant figure in North China and began to prepare for a campaign to unify all of the country by force. But his stern attitude toward his military associates and his ruthless suppression of a workers’ strike on the Beijing-Hankou Railroad in 1923 lost Wu much of his popularity, and he was never able again to consolidate his position. In 1924 Zhang Zuolin launched a new attack and defeated Wu in battles near Tianjin. In 1926 Wu’s army was decisively defeated by Nationalist forces under Chiang Kai-shek (Jiang Jieshi) in Wuhan, and Wu fled to Sichuan in 1927. From 1932 until his death, Wu lived in quiet retirement in Beijing.

101: The Airborne Invasion of Normandy

101: The Airborne Invasion of Normandy is a turn-based strategy game set during World War II were the player takes command over a troop of 18 units. Every mission starts with a detailed planning phase. There the player chooses his men and equips them. Because this can be a time-consuming task the game offers the option to make these decisions automatically. The last step before starting the mission is to set where the units sit in the plane. This is important because of one unique feature of this game: during the jumps there are randomly generated happenings which are applied to the units, e.g. they get separated, killed or the whole plane gets shot down.

After all surviving units reach the ground the player respectively the AI moves one unit at a time. Every one has a certain amount of action points which decrease with every action, e.g. moving, resting, trading equipment or firing. The goal is always to liberate a certain area accompanied by a few optional tasks which have to be found during the mission. It is also important to note that the game uses fog of war and doesn't tell the player where his other units are. This means he has to orientate himself with a map - if one of the nearby soldiers has one in his equipment. After three days at most the mission ends and the player gets rated.

It's like this entire administration is made up of bond villians
