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.

Procopius Part One
HAVE finished the first of my three books by Procopius.
Procopius on the Persian Wars
It covers the Eastern Roman Empire's wars under Justinian I against Sasanian Persia, including the famous AD 530 Battle of Dara, for which Procopius is the main source.
The text, which is a reprint of a translation from the early 1900s, is an exciting and generally easy read, but I could have done with having maps to hand.
