Flames of War Version 3. (Already had the small booklet but I like the larger format.)

Monty and Rommel: Parallel Lives by Peter Caddick-Adams, newly published


and to feed my latest interest...

Essential Histories 72 The Jacobite Rebellion 1745-46 by Gregory Fremont-Barnes

Elite 149 The Scottish Jacobite Army 1745-46, Warrior 19 British Redcoat 1740-93, and Warrior 21 Highland Clansmen 1689-1746, all by Stuart Reid

Warlord Games' Last Argument of Kings

BTW can anyone recommend a good book about the Jacobite Rebellion?

John Prebble's Culloden.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

The ballad of Halo Jones -  a little bit disappointing but very nice anyway. And Zulu Hart, is it good?

Crikey, that's just about my favourite Sci-Fi comic ever. I just wish Alan Moore had got to finish it. It ends in a semi-satisfactory way but he had loads more planned for it, or so I'm told.

So you were semi-disappointed too? :D

Also read "China", an extract from Vicente Blasco Ibáñez's travelogue. A great description of China's greatest cities in the 20s, do not miss it if you can read Spanish. There's even a 2nd hand account of a pirate attack that's just like in "Flashman and the Dragon"!

After some difficulties with the postal service, I have finally received copies of "Heroquest" and "Sartar~Kingdom of Heroes", brilliant inspiration for my Runequest/Glorantha project, I have already planned models of  Orlanthi dwellings and a n Orlanthi Library, as will as having expanded my selection of suitable figures to represent Orlanthi as well as a few other cultures. Very Happy.
