The Napoleonic Wargame by G W Jeffrey pub 1974 - definitely old school, complete with "bounce-sticks" and canister templates, but a worthwhile read which has made me think, particularly over how artillery batteries are represented on the wargame table.

I remember not only bounce sticks and canister templates but George himself. I guess that makes me old school too!

Finished "T. E. Lawrence" by Liddell Hart.  Hart knew Lawrence and thought a lot of him.  This book was written before Lawrence had his fatal accident.

Quite a bit on the various Arab tribes and their exploits.  Well done.

Also finished "Deterrence or Defense" by Liddell Hart.  This book was written during the Cold War and discusses the problem with the nuclear threat.  tactical nukes were not a solution to the problem, but most likely a step into mutual destruction.He discusses the various scenarios in Western Europe as well as the northern and southern fronts.  Some tactical ideas about tanks and night combat.

For me not as compelling as his other books before and during the war, but some interesting parts.

We still use bounce sticks and canister templates in one of the rule sets we regularly use for Napoleonics
Most of the figures are Airfix as well
So you are not alone in that school

Osprey's Armies of the Balkan Wars - the possibilities in Irregular 6mm now look very intriguing.

Osprey's Armies of the Balkan Wars - the possibilities in Irregular 6mm now look very intriguing.

Funnily enough, just yesterday I was thinking about getting this one off my bookshelf and putting together an order for some Irregular 6mm Balkan Wars armies! Now that Konstantinos's set of 15 scenarios is almost complete, I plan to start playing some of them.

Meanwhile I am reading an unpublished (or hopefully, "soon-to-be-published") manuscript by a buddy who is a former US special forces officer, about his time in Somalia. Tasty.

Three Weeks in November by Ralph Weaver. Just started it, but had a quick flick through earlier, and it looks to be a lovely little book on the Swiss Civil War of 1847. I'm eagerly awaiting his book on the Hungarian War of Independence 1848 - 1849.

Then you're one thought further ahead than me!
