I thought this looked interesting, so I pre-ordered a digital copy a few months ago only to find that it had popped up in my library at the weekend. Osprey's books can be a bit hit and miss, although the air and naval ones tend to be a lot better than the Men at Arms series, and this one is particularly good perhaps due to the fact that it's quite a niche subject and fits the format well as a result. Angus Konstam clearly knows his stuff and has done his research too, while the illustrations are also nicely done and not those awful digital images that Osprey have seemed to use a lot in recent publications. I'm now tempted to have a look at Navwar for the Republican and Nationalist fleets but I will resist!
Welcome to my blog. I have upwards of 100 projects in various stages of incompletion or total abandonment, so you may well find something of interest if you rummage about a bit. I concentrate on solo air and naval wargaming but other 'skirmishy' things quite often pop up out of nowhere, only to disappear again after something else grabs my attention. I even finish the occasional project now and again!

I hadn't seen that book on the list yet. I will have to take a look.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to look at the Admiralty Trilogy's Shattered Armada scenario book on Wargame Vault. You can do a preview to see the table of contents with the scenario list.

Resist? Do you believe that anymore than we do?
