I'm detecting a theme here Helen.

So, are we going to be seeing you on the "Einstein Factor" next year?

I'm detecting a theme here Helen.

So, are we going to be seeing you on the "Einstein Factor" next year?

The theme is that I love Africa during the Great War along with other Sideshows

I do like the Einstein Factor, but would not be interested.

Best Wishes

Madre de Dios!    :love:

I don't need a reading list, I have Helen!

(In other news the Lobster Johnson miniseries "The Iron Prometheus" is rather decent.)

Have read the first two issues and I think's good so far. Very Pulpy.

Got the Alamo through today for LOTOW a bargain at £9

Got the Alamo through today for LOTOW a bargain at £9

Karl, please don't get me started on the Alamo as I've a number of books on that subject too

My friend has scratch built the entire Alamo and I'll try and get a pick of the whole structure when he gets back from holidays as I'm looking at a large piece of the Alamo now as I type.

I'm fielding a 1836 Mexican Army for the WRG competition at Cancon here in Canberra in January 2008.

Best Wishes.

Hi Folks, these next pics are the last (I think) of my Africa books except for magazines and articles from various sources.
Small Wars and Skirmishers I highly recommend from Wargames Foundry as they cover a number of actions in Africa.

Interesting Helen.

By the way, does anyone have any books to recommend on the WWI East Africa Campaign? ;-)

[Plynkes]

Unlikely as it may seem, I may actually have a handful on the subject that Helen hasn't shown us.


Can't really recommend this one. It makes an interesting subject very boring, and really ticks me off by constantly referring to places that aren't on any of the maps provided. I hate it when military history books do this!

The Byron Farwell one Helen showed is a much better read. Not as much detail, but a cracking good read, and covers the other colonies, not just East Africa.


The book that inspired my Lake Wars campaign (well, that and Forester's "The African Queen.")



What it says on the tin really. The KAR from its origins, through two world wars and beyond.


Memoirs of a KAR officer. It's actually about World War Two, but sort of fits this category.


The new one that I have still only dipped into (Sorry, Prof). Does contain things I wasn't actually aware of before, such as naval actions on Lake Nyasa.


Not East Africa, but generally fitting into the "Sideshows" category. The amazing story of a German Commerce Raider, which includes all kinds of interesting adventures, including a colonial-style battle with pesky Arab tribesmen.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

the story of the "Emden" is an amazing one and the adventures of its crew are just unbelievable. One day I'd like to make some lead adventures based on the story

[Plynkes]

I already have. My ship the Elke, though an armed merchantman rather than a cruiser, has all her adventures directly inspired by a combination of the Emden and the Königsberg.

We've already had one misadventure in the Indian Ocean, and a battle in Arabia is next on the list.

Trouble is, North Star seem to be having trouble getting new stock of Arabs. I may have to use proxies, as I don't want to put this one off for much longer.

some very impressive illustrations are in

Have read the first two issues and I think's good so far. Very Pulpy.

The Arist is very good, I almost felt it was justva rushed Mignola till I checked the credits. My only nag is with the Suit- the bottom half looks a bit naff in design. But the pulp factor is fantastic.
