Sharp Practice on the Cape Frontier - new book

[sjwalker51]

Admins, hope this is allowed?

It’s been a long time coming, but my campaign guide to using ‘Sharp Practice’ to refight the Frontier Wars in Colonial South Africa (1834-53) should be available at Easter.

It covers all the major protagonists of the period, including British and Colonial forces, Boers, Xhosa, Basotho, Zulu, Matabele and other indigenous tribes with 29 unique unit rosters, 14 different core force lists, period-specific supplementary rules and support lists and 8 historical scenarios with maps and detailed orders of battle.

It’s a 70-page, full colour A4 format paperback (sorry, no pdf option at this stage) packed full of information and a bit of eye candy.

I’d appreciate those of you who are more social-media savvy than me spreading the word as this is a new venture for me, and a bit of a labour of love for a great period. It’s ‘Lard Approved’ but has been self-published with Rich’s support because of the huge number of projects currently in the pipeline at TFL.

PM, leave a message with any questions or email me at sjwalker51@yahoo.co.uk to reserve a copy. Please be sure to include your full name, address and postcode. I expect first copies to be shipped in early April.

The book costs £25 + P&P (£5 UK, £10 EU, £15 ROW), payment via PAYPAL to the above email address.

I hope you like it !

Certainly is. The convention is to put [Commercial] at the start of the thread title, that's all, but I'm not sure that's an actual rule (I looked and couldn't find it).


Good luck with the book!

Thanks to everyone who has supported my first publication, the response has been very encouraging so far.

I’ve now shipped books to everyone who was kind enough to pre-order. If you’ve not had a payment request from me, I might have missed your order, so please get in touch!
