Listening to 'No one left to tell' by Karen Rose.....Not at all bad....Though rather lengthy.

Finished listening to.....
The Empty Throne by that nice Mr Cornwell.....REALLY enjoyed that !
The Watchful Eye......Priscilla Masters.......Not quite my cup of tea...But not too bad, at all.

Then had a break to listen to Pink Floyd's new CD.

Now onto 'Private Games'  (James Patterson & Mark Sullivan).....Sounds promising (Oh, all right.....The sort of 'thriller' I tend to enjoy. )

Cheers - Phil

Seconded, great reads, not read a bad one yet. Also recommend anything by Peter F Hamilton (Commonwealth books are excellent)

Now finished volume 2 of Quintin Barry's "The Franco-Prussian War".  It deals with the war "After Sedan".  Just as good as the first volume and good OB's.

I need to read that. It's been sat on the shelf for 18 months now.

Finished 'Private Games'
Now onto 'The Blood Crows' by Simon Scarrow......Sounds very promising so far.
Though not by the same author it appears (?) to almost be a follow on from 'Claudius'

The Bloody Big Battles rulebook and scenario book. Had to look carefully at some scenarios to clarify the rule about skirmish bases, ie. 7S means 7 bases one of which is a skirmish base; 5 2S means 5 bases two of which are skirmish bases. Otherwise the rules seem to be very clear.

I'll be interested to hear more about these - looking for some ACW rules currently.

I'm about half way through it, so far, Steve......Thoroughly enjoying it !

At the moment the rules are concentrating on Europe 1850-1900. However the rules blurb mentions fighting Gerttysburg in 3 hours on a 6'x4' table, so I would imagine an ACW scenario book is on the way. The rules are designed for units between 2 and 7 bases, where a base is 25mm to 30mm square, and a division is made up of 2 or three units, so these are high level rules. You might also be interested in Altar of Freedom, which have a 60mmx30mm base per brigade and are designed specifically for the ACW. The rules are supported by a website with two scenario books for Eastern and Western theatres, some free scenarios, free buildings, scenario tips, AARs and so on.

Altar of Freedom looks good - spent a while rummaging though their site and links. I'll see what my gaming buds think.

AoF has much better overall presentation than BBB
