Hi,
Apologies what I mean is, i have just spent the last 7 years digging through obscure references  to get the information to play all these games and then the book comes out a few months after I have just played the Siege of Kut !

Could have saved me loads of time  lol I am planning the games for the attempts to relieve Kut at the moment, so if you are planning another book get a move on  ;)

Hope sales go well 👍

Looks good, though I’m still fond of Echo and the Bunnymen’s take on the Two Fat Lardies ‘If the Lord Spares Us’.
