I was given that "Vanished Armies" book too. Nice, ain't it?

It is. Although I've just spotted quite a glaring printing error in my copy. Is there anything odd about plates 14 & 15 in yours?

[Plynkes]

Oh yes. What a swizz. They've done us out of eleven types, including the Welsh Regiment. Someone ought to fall on their sword for this.

My Christmas loot… Two book that I was to buy in English but both translation became available just before the holidays…





I’ve almost finished Antony Beevor’s book on the Battle of  Normandy. I don’t know how it was received in the USA but it’s certainly not a "pro-USA" book… With examples of trigger happy troops firing against French civilians or USAF bombing their own troops, killing one US General in the process…

"The Killer Trail" by Bertand Taithe. Documentary book describing the Voulet-Chanoine Mission - Heart of Darkness in reality

[Helen]

This is a fantastic book for painters/collectors for the period. Pages upon pages of great art capturing the wild west as we know or didn't know it.



For my 40 mm AWI project, this book is an excellent uniform reference and quite cheap to purchase.

finally got the time to start reading the Flashman series.

currently reading the first book (Flashman) and im hooked already. You should hate him, you want to hate him but you cant help but love him.

great book and characters and i cant wait to read the next one!

[OSHIROmodels]

Flashman is one of the great literary heros (snigger snigger)

The books also want to make you learn more about the history of the time as they give it a certain flair 

cheers
