Oh, and Hammershield, of course you´re right, but that´s loooong gone...

To you maybe...  :twisted: ;-)

Following that logic, I have to claim Skåne, Halland, and Blekinge. And Norway. And England.... I could rant on....  ::

You can have Skåne.

And also all the mime artists, reality show celebrities and tabloid press columnists you want. We won't be finnicky about the prevenance with those, just take'm.

If i remember correctly, denmark had to give up all claims for now and all future* on those territories, except GB, dunno about that, last time we had peacetalks... :roll:

Wellington's Smallest Victory:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wellingtons-Smallest-Victory-Peter-Hofschroer/dp/0571217699/ref=sr_1_1ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207225502&sr=1-1

£3.99 on Amazon, but picked mine up for £1 in a remainders shop - keep your eyes open!

About a guy who built a comemerative model of Waterloo, only to have his attempts at realism foiled by the Iron Duke, who was attempting to claim all the glory, deny his allies any part in the victory and cover up any misdeeds or mistakes that might have occurred during the battle.

I admit I've not started reading it yet, but there are some lovely (albeit b&w) shots of the finished model.

Should be interesting for anyone into dioramas and odd historical facts. So, that'll be all of us then.

Plynkes,

If you are into the zep raids, try to find a copy of The Sky on Fire: The First Battle of Britain, 1917-1918 by Raymond Fredette. It is probably the best thing I have ever read on the subject. I haven't read mine in a while, but I think it also covers Gotha raids in some detail.

[Plynkes]

Thanks, Aaron. I will certainly check that one out.

[Plynkes]

I picked up that book you mentioned, Aaron. Thanks for the tip.

[Aaron]

My pleasure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I dug mine out to re-read after remembering it in this thread. I see zepplins and Gotha bombers in my future.

This should be in "Latest Box Received" I suppose, but we ain't got one of those.

Role-playing seems to be resurfacing after a long sleep in our gaming circle (though we haven't actually done any yet). First that pirate thing and now, after a discussion about it on another forum I was inspired to pick up the Dark Continent RPG.


Biggest pic I could find on the net at short notice.

Got Edwin Hoyt's "The Marine Raiders" yesterday, because what I need on top of an impending house move and a conscious effort to cauterize project-creep in WW2 is more inspiring stories of small-action combat.  :roll:

So I'll take a moment to promote the service where I got it: BookMooch

It's a free service. You list books you're willing to give away. Someone asks for the book and you ship it to them.  It costs you points to receive books, and you earn points by listing books and giving them away. It's a bit like an online swap meet. I listed seventeen psychology books and gave away fourteen of them, one of them overseas. I've ordered five books, I think, and am hoarding my credit.

I think it serves a valuable service in that some of these books would not be cost-effective to list on eBay or Amazon Seller, and there are always books I have that fall into the category of "I would like this, but I'm not going to pay for it." Frankly I'm happy to ship some of the deadwood in my library away.

Anyway, recommended highly. Don't be stealing all the military history books and if anyone is giving away Funckens please accept my mooches.
