If you mean "John and Andrew's book on Koniggratz" then it is finished, with the exception of one four page Appendix which I am working on. It is currently being formatted and having the photos inserted, no small task, by John. We hope (which I know is not a method!) that it should be out by the end of the year. Fingers crossed.

Good Evening Cam,
I have this evening finished the photos and maps for the fifth and last of the battle chapters, and sent them off to my good friend Adam who is putting them into In Design. As Andrew says, the intellectual part is over, but it wil take anther month of sending pdfs back and forth until it is right. I have sent a mock-up of the Front Cover to Richard Brown of Ken Trotman who will publish it, and I think he will be advertising its imminent arrival via the usual issues of Little Men's Monthly.
We had hoped to have a section on Podol as a small scale action that could be used to get folk used to the rules, but the page count has beaten us, so it is entirely on the one battle.
The book itself will be No 12 in the Wargaming in History Series, and Richard Brown will probably declare the series complete at that stage.
