Yeah, but if you COULD?

Perhaps there's a subliminal message in it?

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

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.

Oh and I never had that book....I now feel excluded...

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.

All things considered I'd think this was a good thing

[Leon]

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

Must be, Dave's got it on his shelf as well I think...

If it's any consolation I don't own a copy either 

I did get it from the library a few times

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

So did I!

Waterloo, for the pure pageantry of it.

Though I could see some of the Lord of the Rings fights as mentioned in the OP, for the pageantry, as well as the fact my little boy would eat it up.

[Le Manchou]

Fontenoy 1745, for the uniforms, or Eylau

[getagrip]

Waterloo, for the pure pageantry of it.

Agreed.

This is partly why I don't do Napoleonics; I'd want to do it "properly", by which I mean: to a ridiculous degree.

[Roy]

Seeing 1745 written above has made me think Culloden.

The only battlefield that I have walked and possibly the only battle that I'd actually want to refight.

Yes, it's also featured in that book
