I'm reading this collection of articles at the moment. It's pretty eclectic but has some really interesting examples of obscure and otherwise overlooked naval actions, most of which are small scale. There's a good chapter on coastal forces operations around the Channel Islands after D-Day, for example, which would be great for Cruel Seas scenario ideas. The first article on the Franco Thai War is particularly interesting, with potential for some 1/3000th scale wargaming using a small fraction of my French fleet. Excellent!
Fascinated by the book - looked it up on Amazon and thought must get a copy... but £23+ for 194 pages, I'll keep eye out for a cheaper copy.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky and grabbed a digital copy when it was dirt cheap.
DeleteInteresting. The Channel Islands are too often overlooked in the Normandy actions.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed!
