THE SCANIAN WAR 1675-79 NEW BOOK

 My latest purchase from Helion - CHARLES XI's WAR The Scanian War between Sweden and Denmark 1675-1679.  I first read about the Scanian War 55 years ago in my first uniform book the classic Blandford  Military Uniforms of the World.  It had 2 pages of uniforms from this war.

I'm looking for ideas for future Imaginations campaignS and I decided this little known war might be a good starting point.  So far its been a good read - 256 pages of detail.

CHRISTMAS 2023 WARGAMES PRESENTS

This Christmas proved a great success with two wargaming related presents..  First there was a copy of Charles Grant's latest book 'A wargaming Retrospective from PRE-WW2 Onwards'.  A good gentle read available from Caliver Books.  Secondly I got a copy of the Battle of Britain game by Richard Borg - originally released by TSR and recently rereleased by Plastic Soldier Company.  Just before Christmas I had finished a campaign with John Perkin using his copy. It's still for sale today at a bargain price of £14.95 from PSC.

Happy New Year everyone.
