Most recent updates and info:

August 18th, 2006: I finished and posted 4 new translations, and a few other minor updates to the webpage:
Translations:
Simulation Journal: Added translation to Game Journal #19's "Storm over Stalingrad" (*Updated Aug. 19th fixed a mistake. 'Naval Bombardment' should be 'Level bombing'*)
Board or Card games with translations: Added translations for Monster Maker 5, Horse Racing Mafia, and Settlers of Catan: Rockman (MegaMan) Edition's 2 player mode (and Barry Figgin's card translation)

Other updates:
Simulation Journal: Added BGG link for Game Journals #19's Storm over Stalingrad. Added listing for Game Journal #20. Fixed title of Game Journal #15's game.
Tsukuda: Fixed BGG links for HG105: Admiral Graf Spee and HG112: Matilda
Board or Card games with translations: Fixed/re-entered Monster Maker 1's and Monster Maker: Dragon Attack's entries.

August 6th, 2006: Updated my 'Mergers & Acquisitions' translation to now include a printable sheet (including the graphics) for the cards. Previously the cards were translated in the rulebook, as a reference sheet only, but that's not as 'user-friendly' for 1st time players.

August 4th, 2006: Updated the Conquerors of Eastern Japan translation file again. Accidently called Ashikaga Yoshiaki 'Ashikaga Yoshiteru' on cards #5, #6, and #25. That is the only change from the previous version.

August 2nd, 2006: Newly completed English translations for two different multiplayer Sengoku-era games! Plus listing for CMJ #70 added:
Kokusaitsuushinsha: Added link to Command Magazine Japan #70: Ukraine '45
Simulation Journal: Added translation for Game Journal 15's 'Road to Honnouji'
Wild Heaven: Added translation for 'Heroes of Western Japan'

July 29th, 2006: *Major* update to my Conquerors of Eastern Japan translation:
First, uh.. I fixed the link, I previously linked to my Kenshin vs. Shingen translation. But for those you got it off of consimworld or BGG, here's what's new from v1.0 to v1.1:

Maps showing exactly what territories are in play, and where each player's starting castles are. There is one such map for each of the four scenarios.

Even if you know Japanese, this saves a *lot* of time during setup.

Also, I fixed two very minor grammatical errors on the cards (where I wrote down something like 'your attack value increase by +1' instead of 'increases').

July 25th: A new translation, an update to a previous one, and a link to a new release, as listed below:
Currently working on these translations list: Updated with current status
Arclight: Added translation for Hundred Days Campaign
Kokusai Tsuushinsha: Added listing for 'Command Best #8: Budapest '45 + Drive to the Baltic' (note: the release date on this game(s) is Aug.20th, 2006)
Six Angles: Added update to War for the motherland 2nd Ed. Now includes extra rules for the scenario that was in Six Angles #10 (though this doesn't include the 2 setup pages)

July 19th: Added things to various sections:
Currently working on these translations list: Updated with current status
Arclight: Added translation and listing for Mergers & Acqusitions: The Hostile Takeover game
Six Angles: Added Shelly Crawford + Todd Davis's translation for Paulus's 6th Army
Wild Heaven: Added listing for many games, as well as my translation for 'Conquerors of Eastern Japan'
Board/card games with English translations: Uploaded my copy of some Aeronaut games' translations to replace dead links
Links: Updated with link to Wild Heaven's webpage

July 5th: Added 'Arclight' to the list of companies, two of their games, and a translation for one of their games. Arclight currently has 3 releases, 2 being wargames, all by Suzuki Ginichiro. Their games are quick, usually around an hour. Their wargames both use a system of players choosing cards that have their combat modifiers on them instead of dice, so the combat is more about 'reading and bluffing' than luck of the dice rolls.
They released 'Kenshin vs. Shingen', which covers the 4th battle at Kawanakajima, and 'Hundred Days Campaign', which covers Napoleon at Waterloo. Both games come in full boxes, not ziplocs.
The translation for Kenshin vs. Shingen is here: Kenshin vs. Shingen translation (no need for making English components, either ^_^)
I will also be translating Hundred Days Campaign as soon as I get the game.

June 14th, 2006:
For those who never saw, here's my list of Japanese games for sale on Boardgamegeek
Okay, so 3 or 4 of them aren't Japanese (Panzer Grenadier, Cape Horn, and Dragonlance aren't).. But about 50 of them are.

June 13th, 2006:
Added Todd Davis's War For the Motherland version 2.0 translation (aka Six Angles #9). Thanks to Todd for translating and making these publically available, and to David Gray for making the English charts!
Main rules v2.0 here
Charts here

June 4th, 2006:
Okay, finally got caught up on most current releases, adding these entries:
Kokusaitsuushinsha: 'CMJ the Best #8', CMJ Basic #1, CMJ #s 64-69, Adv. Tobruk, and 'Three Kingdoms Nyota!'
Simulation Journal: Issues 16-19 of Game Journal
Six Angles: Split off into its own category, as it has its own (barebones) webpage now, and is no longer supported by Sunset. Added Six Angles Specials #2-4 and Six Angles #10 as well
Sunset Games: Added Battle for the Ardennes, split Six Angles entries off into their own category

May 12th, 2006:
The new translation of SF3D II: Operation Faserei is available. No, this one isn't one I translated,and at 2nd look it still has the error that it multiplies the to hit roll dice instead of adding (You *did* multiply them in SF3D, but SF3D2 changed this rule).. Doesn't have the scenarios or charts, but still, it's at least readable and, despite the error above, looks more playable than previous translations. The new translation available on Boardgamegeek here:
SF3D II: Operation Faserei new translation

May 5th, 2006:
A note of interest:
1) Samurai Lords (the English release of Feudal Lord) and 4 other wargames originally from Japan are now available for preorder from MMP!: MMP's preorder page . Here's what they have available to preorder now::

Samurai Lords (aka Feudal Lord, first edition by Epoch, 2nd edition by Sunset Games)
A Victory Lost (aka aka Struggle of Army Group Manstein by Simulation Journal, GJ#4)
Red Star Rising (aka War in the Motherland from Six Angles)
Warriors of God (aka 100 Years War Anglo Vs. French by Simulation Journal, GJ#8)
A Most Dangerous Time (aka Nobunaga's Greatest Danger, old GJ #49)

February 13th, 2006:
Added a translation for "History of the Samurai" by Simulation Journal. See the "translated games" and/or Simulation Journal section, or Click here for the History of the Samurai translation.

It takes a little bit of preparation, and 'full sheet labels' (aka 'sticky paper') are *strongly* recommended, and perhaps some index cards. You need to put the map labels on the board, and make the cards (I put 'sticky' paper' on index cards and then put them in protective sleeves for the cards).

Listing of updates before January 1st, 2006 is at the link below :

Information regarding Feudal Lord / Samurai Lords:
Feudal Lord / Samurai Lords playtesting notes

Currently working on these translations: (vaguely in this order)
Fleet Battles (very slow progress, could be a long time before I get it done..)
Armageddon (haven't actually started, could be awhile)
The Rise and Fall of the Magic Empire (On hold. 21 of 32 pages of translation handwritten, 200 cards to be done as well)

Also completed these translations for MMP in the interest of seeing them release classic JPN wargames with improved maps, artwork, and components. They own the rights to these, so I can't distribute them.
Feudal Lord (submitted to MMP, preorders for their version, 'Samurai Lords', now open).
The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire (submitted to MMP for preorder starting late 2006/early 2007)
Target: Arnhem (for MMP, for release at conventions, available on their website for free + shipping!)
