Mark IV...

Nice work

Saw some of these at World and couldn't believe how long and narrow they were; always thought they were chunkier.  The dude with the display told me there were several different mks.

Not an area I know a lot about.  Additionally, I've always wondered how you game in what was essentially a stagnant war.

I realise I am probably going to get ripped apart for the above

Mesopotamia was anything but static. The campaign went from the Shatt-al-Arab in the Persian Gulf to Baghdad and well beyond and involved the surrender of one significant British force at Kut-al-Amara.

I bow to your wisdom

I think this further reinforces the comments on another thread about misconceptions around WWI.

Not a period I play but one I may decide to collect.

Say whut! Anyone got a good book title for WWI in the Middle/Near east? 

(And like a sports car being driven by George Michael, FSN's plans veer off course again.)

This is an excellent book, covering the campaign from the fall of Baghdad to the Turkish surrender. It contains some really beautiful maps. A little on the pricey side, however.
