Educating Dimitri - two basic BOB questions

[Remington]

Wow, Baku is in Azerbaijan... Never thought they'd be there in shorts. Thank you for the information, Mark. And I guess I'll have to buy some Copplestone Indians and Muslims at some point.

Adventures of Dunsterforce here:

Note that there are plenty of people who think that Dunsterville's book, while not outright lying, is extremely misleading. Basically he wrote it to cover his a**. The British army let him go soon afterwards, which suggests strongly that they think he blew it.

The British in Trans-Caspia is a much better campaign in any case, both for BoB and "historical" gaming. A book you might be interested in is:

Great stuff! Thanks. My mates are all addicted to BoB at the moment... thanks to this brilliant game at Tactica... Might as well join in with some British.

ahh, mark beat me to the british schrts and toppees

I remember aphotograph from the transcaspian theater.

As to BoB
yes, "Am Arsch der Welt" would be the german "translation", and I also happen to enjoy using it in this context

Ah, danke for the clarification. So it's BOB or AADW! 

should you come across that photograph again please don't hesitate to show it around. I'd be very interested to see it.
