Swedish book, The wars during the cold war, hopefully good as a basic "education" on what happened where and was really a part of the cold war =)

Oman's A History of the Peninsular War Vol II and IV to add to the Sharpe books to get scenario ideas for when I get round to painting the figures (2012 project).

And a Kindle..........................

Through the Mud and the Blood by TooFatLardies. I've really enjoyed Sharpe Practice, and M&B uses basically the same mechanisms. The rules look like great fun, and also contain a great intro to Great War infantry tactics as they evolved from 1914 thru 1919.

Planning on using M&B for some RCW/Interventionist/Dunsterforce entertainment, at least for now, although visions of trench tiles dance in my head!

Well it was in my local comic shop and called to me!

That and Halo: Fall of Reach that I got in the Isle of Man to read at my sister in laws last week.

Bull Run to Gettysburg rules - really nice set of rules, well laid out and lots of eye candy.

Osprey Campaign's Vicksburg and Antietam.

Officer and Solider of the Americal Civil War Volume 1 published by Histoire & Collections - nice book with a wealth of ACW uniform line drawings!

Good luck on getting Volume 2 (if you're after it). The ACW titles have been out of print for a while. I'm trying to catch up on the 3 or 4 Napoleonic ones I'm missing and at least one is getting scarce or at least a little more difficult to find.

Azincourt by Bernard Cromwell...not a bad story..loads of descriptions of the effects of medieval weaponary and sometimes it goes a bit over the top...the rape and pillage descriptions are a touch too far for my liking.

Maybe in an effort to counter balance the very romantic image of the medieval period that a lot of people have these days… Just saying, I didn’t read this book but it sound interesting (the weapons effect part, not the rape and pillaging).

I am looking but I'm not ready to pay silly money like somebody on Amazon wanted!

Not really 'received' as it's been around the house for a while apparently, but my girlfriend recommended and I'm now half-way through 'Affinity Bridge' by George Mann - airships and zombies in 1901 London, what more could a young man want from a novel?
