I reckon its going to be pishing it down most of the time I'm on holiday so I might just get away with taking some wargaming related bits and pieces away with me.
What holiday projects have people got on (whilst away)?
I'm getting dragged away for a week in a caravan in August, so I think I might take those Sci-Fi module masters up with me and finally get them finished off.
Summer?
25th hessian Div & French Imperial Guard for 1870 nut not going away
I only ever take a few books to read with me on the family holiday. Too busy enjoying the hot and sunny weather in Turkey to think about anything else 8).
What summer?
Last year I made a very long and very satifying trip through Eastern and Southern Europe starting in Budapest and ending in Venice, so this year I'm going native (and cheap)on one of the Dutch islands. And I'm bringing books as usual. A bunch of old and new novels and some wargaming related non-fiction: a biography of Richelieu, one of Louis XIV, Peter Wilson's book on the TYW.
Cheers,
Aart
Some birds have already started migrating South due to the distinctly Autumnal weather of late. We are however promised some more appropriate seasonal weather next week 8).
What is this 'holiday' thing you speak of? ;) :)
A week of climbing in Nagano so anything related to miniatures just isn't particularly practical...
I already took mine. Spent time in Florida and Chicago with family. I was able to finish Henderson's, "The Battle of Spicheren" between fishing, golfing and cooking.

Any good?
This year I will be in Scotland again. After a brief stop in Edinburgh for Claymore (Leon I will send you a pre order), directly to north. Shatlands and outhers Hebrideans Islands.
Lot of walk and a round of good golf in South Uist.
I need to leave the awfully hot and sunny Italy.

I enjoyed it. Although it's sometimes difficult to follow when he's describing what individual companies are doing. I'm waiting for his book on the battle of woerth to be made available on kindle.

Lemmey,
It depends what you are looking for. Henderson wrote this book as a serious contribution to the military art of his time, as a study with continued relevance to contemporary warfare. It is therefore a very detailed description and analysis of actions, decisions, tactics and weapons. In detail it is unrivalled, but I don't think it would get into the Bumper Book of Ripping Yarns! ;D ;D

The wife, my brother, my sister-in-law and my neice - and looking at the weather-forecast, a whole load of books. :(
