Lots of history for £3.95 |
My wargaming is almost as diverse as my interest in history, but my most-recent big project was the War of the Austrian Succession with 10mm armies of nine combatant nations. I have also recently played many scenarios from Mike Lambo's solo battle books, created Franco-Prussian War armies with plastic 54mm toy soldiers, and fought scenarios from Airfix Battles with plastic green-and-tan Army Men. My latest big project is biblical-era battles in 10mm.

Literary Review
AUGUST'S issue of Literary Review has, as usual, many reviews of books covering historical subjects, including Martin Luther, fascist Brits in WW2, Robert Louis Stevenson in Samoa - by coincidence, I am reading a collection of his travel books - German military activity in Africa in WW1, and poor little rich terrorist Patty Hearst.
OK, some of those subjects could be more accurately described as current affairs rather than history - there are people alive who lived through the years covered - but they still greatly interest me.
