I took the boys into town this afternoon after work to get them a haircut and take them swimming, so popped into the local Oxfam charity book shop on the way home. I hadn't been in for a while so was pleased to find hardback copies of Ensign in Italy and The Ashanti Ring, both of which look like excellent inspiration for WW2 platoon level skirmish and Darkest Africa colonial gaming respectively. It's now the half term holiday as well, so I'll be downing tools and will get some time for reading, which is something that's been pushed to the margins by my midnight marking sessions of late.
Sound very interesting books. A useful find
ReplyDeleteGarnet Wolseley is an interesting character I know nothing about but keeps cropping up all over the period... looks worth reading ;)
