A translation, obviously. Don't look at me like that, I'm British. What do you think I am, some kind of language perfesser?

It's a novel about Jakobus Morenga, who was a guerrilla leader who fought the Germans (rather successfully, for a while at least) in South West Africa.

Terry Prachetts Nation (I actually wanted Unseen Academicals for my birthday but dear old Mama saw Nation in Tesco for cheaper...)

Quite a difference.

I finished Unseen Academicals just a couple of weeks ago. A bit messy, it was. I thought Pratchett couldn't settle on which theme to pursue.

No. I waxed wroth on you people for hoovering every conceivable corner of the market from the The Russian Civil War (1) : The Red Army.

H, I will gladly swap you the RCW book for MAA The British Troops in the Indian Mutiny if you have one

I bought Chaos In Carpathia, and for the last few days I've been searching through all my miniatures for suitable figures for the game. I have enough for a werewolf warband, and maybe a monster hunter warband. I need a few more minis for vampires and treasure hunters though.

I picked up More What If? (I’ve already read the previous one) at a second hand book stall for £3 the other day. A few interesting bits, but sadly nothing you could really base a scenario on. Some of the essays simply explain the historical event, and then add an alternative almost as an afterthought. Sadly, despite the cover, there is no ‘Britain Invaded’ essay in there at all, although there is a very interesting piece on Halifax as PM instead of Churchill. I'd certainly recommend buying it if you see it second hand, though perhaps not at full price.

Edit: oh, and I forgot to mention, it is very America-centric.
