  6. These do look like very nice books Aly. I have just finished reading The Steel Bonnets by George MacDonald Fraser - a great read full of wonderful anecdotes and potential wargaming scenarios!

    1. The Steel Bonnets is a splendid book indeed...
      When I lived in Edinburgh we used to regularly go for drives in the borders... I managed to encourage many visits to places mentioned in the book...

      All the best. Aly

  9. Yes! This publisher has a range of rather good books that you can spend a fortune on. I have their books on Austrian Napoleonic army. Very useful with lots of interesting data that I haven’t seen before.

    2. Definitely! Today I’ve been told I’m on a good way to recovery and probably will be released home at the end of the week (after two weeks). Looking forward to gaming with you!

      It’s nice to have something that covers the uniforms between the Napoleonic wars and the Crimean War...
