Reading Resources Replenished

Greetings from a very dry south eastern England. We're now officially on a hose-pipe ban, but I'm grateful it could be much worse like France and Spain.

In an idle moment recently I had a look at the Paul Meekins website. A few clicks and I'd found that I'd ordered a stack of books. Too easy to do. I even deleted some from the 'basket' before I paid, just to show a bit of 'self-discipline'.

They arrived Friday, promptly and very well packaged. Here they are.

Well padded with bubble wrap and the box was all taped up - took some undoing and a lot of feeling off so I could put the box in the recycling. 

First edition. I already have this. In both first and second editions. But my original from the 1970s had got mouldy when stored in a damp garage, and it was well worn with reading and had dabs of Humbrol paint in the excellent appendix showing every regiment's uniform colours.

Another second copy. I think I lost my original one. This could tempt me into another 18th century sub-period if I'm not careful.

I'm already 1/4 of the way through this. A second volume on this battle, although it goes into a lot more detail on the preceding campaign-  "it does exactly what it says on the tin". I've read two of Mr Cooke's previous ECW works on Yorkshire sieges and Yorkshire battles. Good stuff.

Already devoured this one. Lots and lots of inspiration here! I love these Stuart Press booklets.

Another booklet sized publication. I shall look forward to reading this.

I'm pretty close to actually getting a game on the table. I have a few options in mind. I just need to boil down the numbers into something workable. The weather has inspired me to try something in a different setting. Until then, adios.
