Just finished Britain's Forgotten Wars: Colonial Campaigns of the 19th Century by Ian Hernon. Excellent if disturbing book.

Excellent!

Never got into it when it was released, but I've heard good things about the rules.

Chaos In Cairo rulebook from Westwind, dirt cheap on a clearance rack at a con I spent the weekend back.

Worth it for the neat 1920s map of Cairo included as a two-page spread, and a ruleset and system I've heard good things about, so I'll chuck two warbands together at some point and have a go at it.

Ten days ago I also got, in the mail, the freshly reprinted Astounding Tales! book, and both Astounding Adventures! "magazine" scenario supplements. The system looks promising for pulp mayhem, lighter than the .45 Adventures rules we've use for the last couple of years, and the scenario books are great fodder for any system.

Helen,

How do you like it? I keep hearing excellent things about the Tranie et Carmigniani books, but they go for a fortune.

Hi Aron, Thank you for your enquiry. Whislt I don't read French I can still manage to make my way through the French text. The B&W illustrations and the colour plates are very nice. Useful reference for anyone who has an interest in the campaign. Quite a few B&W illustrations on the Mamulks and Turks including colour plates.

Yes it's expensive, but worth it.

Thanks Helen. I'm more interested in their work on the Italian Campaign but I understand that the same general level of quality was maintained throughout the series, so that is very helpful. Perhaps I need to start saving my pennies.

Bought 20,000 leagues under the sea, Journey to the Centre of the earth and around the world in 80 days by Jules Verne. Also picked up Dr,Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde (plus other stories) by Robert Louis Stevenson. Hopefully there's plenty of great VSF ideas that will come from them!

I just recently got an e-copy of Songs of Blades and Heroes:

After hearing a Meeples and Miniatures podcast dealing with Flying Lead, my interest in the series got piqued.
I know that I am getting late to this party, but having gotten myself a copy of the rules, I find them really appealing and uncluttered. I am really looking forward to getting some of the other expansions, including Flying Lead and whatever dedicated sci-fi supplement is on the horizon.

Got Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" on Friday, started reading this morning and went through it in one go. Very depressing, but really good!
