Latest book received

[Col.Stone]

It looks a good read, is it similar to the Other side of the mountain. I just got the Bear went over and am awaiting the other side. Amazon had a buy both deal for £46 which was the best price I have seen for new books.

The Bear has 42 vignettes in it each would be ideal as a scenario, this sounds very similar :mrgreen:

You and I need our own Moderns thread :mrgreen:  

yeah ::
It says in Afghan guerilla warfare that it's a companion piece for "Bear over mountain" and tht you should really read both, or all three they may have mentioned the other side  too

A couple of graphic novels for  birthday presents from some friends

The Bear Trap is interesting in that it relates to how the Pakistani General planned and co-ordinated the Mujahideen, a bit of an auto biography and a bit political bias too

King's Gunslinger novels had such potential! So much unused potential. His getting hit by the minivan didn't do the series any favors.

[Argonor]

I take it that 'book' means also 'ruleset'?

In that case, I just received

LotOW and LotHS

I'll be busy reading the next couple of hours!!  :mrgreen:

Pressie from the wife: a pair of Osprey Fortress series books -
Norman Stone Castles (2) Europe 950-1204
Fortresses of the Peninsular War 1808-14.
Grand  :love:    

[Trencher]

Received an Osprey Campaign Book today:
Cambrai 1917 - The birth of armoured warfare
At first glance, the color pictures look beautiful, but they used some german words which 'felt' a bit odd ("Eingreifentaktik"). I have to read it more throughly, though...

Some Donjon comics  :mrgreen:

[Westfalia Chris]

Donjon´s a great series, although I have to say that particular one was a bit weak IMHO.

However, all Lewis Trondheim books are pretty awesome, if you can get into his type of storytelling. "Approximate Continuum Comics" is waaaay weird, but superb.

The 7th book inthe French comic series "Le Scorpion".


All you fans of Gloire and swashbuckling should check it out (it's available in Dutch too, though I don't know if it's available in English or German).

Some samples:

Oh, that Scorpion comic looks marvellous! :love:

[JollyBob]

Man! That makes me wish I'd paid more attention in my French lessons.  :cry:

I love the artwork, it reminds me a little of Kev Walker's. Very cool.

Comics are the main reason for learning french. Sadly, I've long forgotten my lessons, too.

Well, they're a good way to learn it - or relearn it - too

I am going to have to check out Le Scorpion. Is it distributed in the US? Probably not.
