Volume Seven of the collected Charley's War. Totally forgot to get it when it came out last Autumn. Pre-ordered the next one while I was about it so that doesn't happen again.

They're up to the point in the 80s now when I had stopped reading Battle in favour of 2000AD, so these latest volumes contain narrative entirely new to me.

Quite timely in regards to the fact that SKP Models has released 4 WWII female figures in 1/35, including a young Princess Elizabeth.

It must be said though, that unlike some of the American uniforms, there is no way that British battledress can make a woman look feminine! Let's face it, it's ugly enough on the guys!

So nothing, you know, alluring in it then? Pity.

So judging by the cover photo can we conclude that historical research has put beyond doubt the dating of the 'pull my finger' gag to the 1940s?
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Europa Militaria Special no17 - Union Troops of the American Civil War by Jonathan Sutherland

Lots of pictures from re-enactors, making it a great `tool aid` for painting my blueshirts

An old Military Modelling supplement book that came along with the magazine somewhere in the early 90s and detailing how to wargame Siege games.  Turned up in the old magazines clear out at TSA `for grabs`.

Victory Decision: World War II

just got the pdf of Agis's new rules (see the new forum on the WW2 board)

looks like a hefty overhaul and refinement of Battlefield Evolution - World at War, which I liked a lot

almost worth buying just for the pics of his glorious models alone  :o
