Funnily enough I just read that today..... not sure how as the DVD isnto out for the third episode.. well in the UK

I doubt there's a film ever made that isn't "out" ... if you're not too fussy about the legality (and possibly quality) of the download.

I was thinking more in advertising the fact you had done it...not that clever really

Finished Volume 2 of "Wargaming in History: The War of the Austrian Succession".  After reading volume 8 (Great, great, great...) I decided I needed to acquire all of them.  Volumes 1 and 9 are currently out of print, but the rest may show up for my birthday.

Funny I was thinking the same, I've been impressed with what I've read so far, also it will be a good introduction to different periods - not that I'm interested in other periods you understand, purely educational

Invasion 1914. Concentrates on the French and Germans in the early war, so a useful adjunct to Collision of Empires re. the Eastern Front; and it was only 99p on Kindle.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Yes that is a good one...read a few months back.

Mrs Figgis of Colosseum Close, Pevensey, was watching a very interesting sailing regatta.

Must have missed that bit.....(Was using the Dremmel a lot last week.)
All I managed to glean from "The Last Conquest" was that there was some b**tard called Norman along with a load of his chums, using Scouts to find stuff out.
The scouts never tied a single knot, so they weren't much cop.
As far as I could tell......Norman's mob were supposed to be French.....But the accents seemed to come from Scotland, Ireland and Birmingham....Most confusing !

Going to start "Arena" by Simon Scarrow & T.J. Andrews next week.

Cheers - Phil

With all the LOA doing the rounds at the mo I'm surprised we haven't heard more about Williamandmary who was very fond of a nice juicy clementine and painted his navy orange.

Just yesterday picked up my old copy of 'Herodotus The Histories' off the shelf.  Been a few years since I read this first time round at Uni.  OK, well make that quite a few years.  

Amazing backdrop to the history of the ancient world and different peoples, habits, and indeed armies.  It is also a bloody good read.

I have two versions. An old Penguin version that has fallen to bits, and a Kindle version.

Ought to be compulsory reading for everyone.

Crowbarred in "The Three Musketeers", Radio 4's full cast dramatisation, before I start on "Arena".
Nobby would like it.....It's got Milady in it.
Cheers - Phil.

In Latin - or Greek. Just because it's there....

Finished Norman Friedman's "US Cruisers: An Illustrated design History".  Large book (oversize with 496 pages) with facts, number, anecdotes and many pictures.  Very technical but interesting to see the necessary tradeoffs in size, speed, armaments and armor to get to a certain spec.  Also what happened because of the London Treaty before WWII.

Now I want his books on destroyers, battleships and carriers.
