ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Wargaming the Sugar Islands Campaign.

Greetings...


Today I took delivery of  this lovely little book by Stuart Insch.






It is a guide to the British Expedition to Martinique and Guadeloupe in 1759... an often overlooked and unknown part of the Seven Years War....


I have only skimmed the book so far ... but I can say that it is well written and nicely laid out...
The contents cover the background, the actions in the campaign and scenarios for Wargaming... These are not tied to any specific rules so you can play them out with whatever system you are used to.


There are also some notes for Wargames... which include a list of suitable manufacturers... and a bibliography.


I am looking forwards to reading this....


The book is available from Stuart..
Here...

      It’s very tempting... but for the moment I shall try and finish ‘a few’ of the projects I have already started... ;-)

      All the best. Aly

    Interesting find certainly not a area I know much about, will this lead to an expanding project ?

      It is indeed an interesting subject... not how one normally views the Seven Years War.
      For the moment the War Of Spanish Succession needs to be dealt with.


      All the best. Aly

    Looks interesting and what is this"finishing of projects" before starting another? I'm not really aware of that I'm afraid!
    Best Iain

      I heard some grown ups use these words and thought that I would use them to make me look clever.... ;-)

    A very nice addition Ed to the wargames library. Another esoteric period away from the traditional battlegrounds we know of.

    Best wishes,

    Helen

    It's as well I don't have a sweet tooth.

    Just received it in Georgia USA. Looks like a lot of fun and plan to use it with Sharp Practice for some interesting skirmish games.

    It’s a lovely little book...
    I think all the scenarios could be used for many periods...


    All the best. Aly
