My latest “Setting the East Ablaze” (STEA) scenario book from Caliver Books is now available (see link below)...
The Senussi’s Little Miniature War, 1915-1917 (a WWI sideshow). All scenarios very easily adaptable for other rule sets. Order direct from Caliver Books, or in the US if you will be at HISTORICON (July 20-23), see the On Military Matters booth for a copy (while they last).

Am about 1/3 of the way through your book and thought I ought to post on here a “thank you”… I’m really impressed with the sheer scale of all you have researched and presented and the way the scenarios seem so playable. Cracking stuff!

Thanks Sparrow; much appreciated. I really try to give enough of the historical bits (where it exists), and as complete info that I can from a wargamer to set-up things, etc., as after all, I am a wargamer that likes scenario books over the years. It makes it far easier to put on a game, and then tweak as I need it.
Again, very glad you enjoy the book. Next one seems to be on Warlord China (and then maybe one for Archangel). :)

Warlord China sounds brilliant 👍

Thanks. It won't be ready for a while yet, but I might get to do two volumes in the end. Fingers crossed. :-)
