"A compelling story from those bizarre times when they would burn Christians at the stake for having read the Bible. Quite inspirational really..."

I agree entirely with the sentiment, especially the ones that come a knocking on the weekend proffering copies of the Watchtower. Alas, that sort of thing has fallen into decline and is on the wrong side of the law these days.

For my birthday today "Homage to Caledonia" - the story of the Scots who fought in the Spanish Civil War. Well chuffed; have wanted this for a couple of years.

I had bought for Easter (what no chocolate - humph!) Paul Preston's excellent The Spanish Holocaust.

Time to dust off my SCW figures again

Bit of a charity shop haul this week:



The Plantagenet Chronicles by Elizabeth Hallam. Charts the development of the dynasty from the Counts of Anjou to Bad King John through contemporary accounts, explanatory essays and some frankly gorgeous full colour illustrations. Massive and lovely.



The Time Travellers Guide to Medieval England by Ian Mortimer. Very interesting book about everyday life in the 14th Century, not just kings and battles. Well written.



George MacDonald Fraser's The Steel Bonnets, detailing the Border Reivers in his inimitable style.

All from Oxfam, all for two or thee quid each.

Field of Glory: Renaissance core book, and the ECW/TYW-specific supplement, Wars of Religion. We've been playing pike & shot off and on for a couple of years, I own a small force, and figured it was time to actually buy and learn the rules instead of just pushing figures around while other people tell me what dice to roll!

More expensive than I'd usually like in a rulebook, mind you! My usual comfort level is about $25-30 per book...

It's really an excellent comic, and I highly recommend it.
