Yeah, but if you COULD?

Leave me alone 

What about the Battle of F'rozen?

I hate you

I got rid of that book - too superficial.

I think that's probably what I need

If I won £70 million I think I might be too busy on my Yacht in the carribbean with a bevy of willing young females having meaningless liasons - at least for the first two years. 

If after a couple of years I had not died with a heart attack or by Mrs Orcs.  I would probably want to do the main battles of the Italian Wars, followed by the D-day landings.

If that was the Battle of Cannae I am indeed Napoleon. Yet another example of why I don't play computer games: the stentorious History Channel voiceover, the brilliant mispronunciation of Latin, the constant shouty interruptions and the jerky camera work. What were the Triarii doing there? |they remained back in camp. The whole experience left me  ??

[Hertsblue]

I agree. That was no help whatever in understanding Cannae.

I don't think it was meant to Herts, Steve was rubbing my nose in it

[Roy]

Yes. I would agree with this. Just buy (read it) for the pictures.

[Vamboozle]

I only know about Cannae from reading this book as a teenager.

This picture caused a potentially ill advised trip into the loft....and yes I do also own this book

Moi?

So it looks like every copy of that book bought is now owned by PD forum member?

[fred.]

I certainly did own a copy of that book - really liked back when I was in school.

Couldn't spot it on the book case at first, and wondered if I had got rid of it, when we moved a few years ago, but after a bit more looking spotted it on shelf 

Its a bit basic - but it does try to cover a whole battle in a few pages.

[fsn]

Perhaps there's a subliminal message in it?

"You will buy Pendraken ... You will buy Pendraken ... You will buy Pendraken ..."

[Upgraydd]

For me it would be the battle of Almansa.

The fact that the English were lead by a Frenchman & the French lead by an English makes it interesting. It was very large and extremely bloody for the period and the French victory meant the War would continue on for another 7 years.

50,000 troops wearing tricorns and spiffy uniforms would look brilliant.

isandlwanah.. Rorkes drift....Abu Klea,
To start with....
Oh and I never had that book....I now feel excluded...

[getagrip]

Purely on a fantasy basis I would love to do Hoth; 28mm scale would do.

Could you imagine al all the AT-AT's?

Awesome 

[OldenBUA]

Right.

Spurred on by the picture of the book a few posts ago I looked to see if it was the same as a book I've got. It wasn't, so I decided to look my book up. I found it available on Amazon, but now I'm really confused. And I guess you will be too, if you read the description or look at the soft-cover edition. Though it may explain a few things.
