This does look like it has loads of potential. And post free? Very tempting...

For UK only, that's the sting.

Those Foundry books always cost the earth, but they are worth it.

I was lucky to get a bunch of them on special offer a while back. I'll probably get this fellow, but not right now. Been spending too much cash lately.

My thoughts exactly. The African & Indian books are really worth having & if you can get them discounted, then you're laughing  :wink:

One of the few areas where Foundry are performing well these days. Just wish the production of the little silver chaps was up to the same standard  :(

They are usually cheaper to buy from someone like Caliver books if you are outside the UK. I got the "COLONIAL ARMIES IN AFRICA 1850-1918" and including postage to New Zealand is it 42 pounds from Foundry, but only 27.50 pounds from Caliver (+ 4 pounds for postage).

BTW they are nice books and I wish I could afford more of them!

Also some people mentioned on the Colonial wars group that it is cheaper to buy from Amazon, so Amazon and other book retailers might be worth checking out.
