It's like a simplified and bastardized version of Scots "English"......

DBA  2.2+ (and the WADBAG guide) with a view to finally doing something about the Da Vinci Condotta armies. Only got one steam tank, so the 'French' will have to have a Paladin mounted on a Gryphon instead. Will also field a standard Condotta army with no fancy dancy stuff until I can produce some flyers for it, or maybe a scythed chariot. The WADBAG guide is a good and very comprehensible read. The Da Vinci stuff comes from the DBA Fanaticus site.

Dont worry - it's only foreign, and we all know no right minded person speaks foreign. Just use English loudly and slowly.

Back to books read or being read.  Just finished "1636: The Cardinal Virtues".  Part of Eric Flint's (this one with Walter H. Hunt) on the alternate history series.

OK, deep sigh, serious face back on - my next read, after The Elven, will be 1914 Fight the Good Fight.

Mary Renault's 'The Alexander Trilogy, haven't read it for over 35 years but its as good as I remember it.

[Leman]

But before that I am re-reading Longstreet rules prior to starting a new campaign on Thursday set in the Western Theatre.

First hardcopy military(?) book I've picked up in a while, Peter Tsouras, Disaster at D-Day. Mainly rereading this as background info for a solo WW II campaign in Kent after the Allies failed.

The Civil War in Yorkshire, a Pen and Sword publication by David Cooke.
This is an excellent read, full of action with some good first hand accounts by Thomas Fairfax and the Duke of Newcastle. Perfect inspiration for my current ECW project.

Oooh! 
There's one to add to the library. "All the Kings Armies" is a decent reference book.

[Leman]

Yes, I will keep an eye open for that one as I like the actions away form the Essex and Oxford armies, particularly in the North and the South-West.

[Bodvoc]

"All the Kings Armies" 

...and I shall look out for that one too.

I found another gem in our local library that I'm reading at the moment - "The Ottoman Defence against the ANZAC Landing" by Mesut Uyar. Published by Aust War Memorial.

Fantastic stuff if you have any interest in Gallipoli campaign - the Ottomans had their share of problems during the first day of the landings as well. This book draws on many Turkish sources not readily available to most "Western" historians to give a in depth view of the defences and how the Ottomans reacted to the Allied landings during the first few days.

Didn't know that several Italian Navy battleships bombarded the Dardenelles defences in 1912 during the Balkan Wars.

5 stars for this one
