Gentlemen,
I thank you.  I never really expected to get out of Cadet, and really doubt I will go past Second Louie. (Tho' I should at least try and reach my previous rank of CPT).

I will mainly post in Books (I read a lot) but will do and occasional AAR.  Next one will be a large FPW campaign with 7 tables that we will do in late October.

One post a day calling for Aztecs, and before you know it you'll have a stomach ulcer be a general.

Hats off to John and Andrew for "The Austro-Prussian War of 1866: The Opening Battles", vol 8 of Wargaming in History.  Now I am eagerly waiting Koniggratz.  When I showed the book to our gaming group, two members immediately said this is what a wargaming book should look like and took down the information so they could buy it.

We use RF&F for the America Revolution and War of 1812 and F&F for ACW and its adaptation for Napoleonics.

This is the first of the Wargaming in History I have purchased and it appears I will need to get the other 7 volumes.

Again, well done!

Reminds me of showing my New Zealand drivers license to an American once, years ago.  His first question was, where is your photo. They didn't have them back then.

After thumbing throught the little book that was the license he asked his second question, the last of the stickers in the back says your license expired 3 years ago!  Oh, they stopped making us buy those stickers every year....

Fortunately he was not a US Police Officer  :)

My British driving license doesn't have a photo to this day. I could elect to have one issued, but it then becomes mandatory to renew it every ten years, on pain of a £1,000 fine. So why would I?  :P :P :P

Just starting 'The Bayonets of the Republic' by John Lynn.

Hope to use this as a basis for developing rules for battles
of the French Revolution. The idea is to use a set of 18th century as
a base to which I would add rules for the formations and tactics of
the early French revolutionary armies.

Not reading, but I am currently re-watching (and, of course, thoroughly enjoying) all of my Sharpe DVDs. Top-notch.

My CD player died recently...So got a new all singing all dancing one.
Wonderful sound....But the CD player has an irritating laser reader 'click,click,click' while it's playing....and has a one second pause between tracks, which makes it a real b*gger listening to talking books.... as it splits a word every few minutes, like th............................is.
Better than nothing........just ! :'( :'( :'( :'(
