I was talking to him and he was intending to do a print run to cover all orders plus a few more, but not a huge number more.

What accepted your order ? Is it possible to do this online ?

Do I suspect a sudden flurry of orders is about to hit him!

Hope he can get them printed...

Well, here's hoping he's anticipated demand correctly. PS are those turkeys getting in line to vote for Christmas?  :o

Update from Trotman, end January now, sure it will be worth waiting for.

Oh yes, meant to post that! Got the email to say delayed in print setting, but at least it looks like we've got a copy on the way, eh :D

I also received the message about the delay and an indication it would be available early February.

Print setting completed at 2pm today. Over to the printer. I think an emoticon and soda is called for.  :)

Well I'm really looking forward to it, especially as Koniggratz was one of the first war games books that was ever given to me, by my dad about 1970.

Interesting, do you happen to remember which book it was?  Do you perhaps still have it?  I cannot recall ever having seen another war gaming book covering this battle, and would be fascinated to track down a copy, if only to mark how the war gaming world has changed in the intervening decades!

Was it one of Knight's Battles for Wargames series? I think that was what they were called.

Hi Chad,

That was my immediate thought as well. I Googled it, and came up with the series, but it only listed nine titles, and Koniggratz was not among them.  The mystery remains!
