I think it is totally top stuff and have had the privilege of seeing the actual book from which it came. They don't make books like that anymore. Every page is a masterpiece and it had over 400 of them i seem to remember.

Hello All, since the Forum started to really take off I have noticed a lot of genuinely valuable information dripping in on various topics. It is often around: 1. Source material 2. Uniform detail 3. Regimental history 4. Orders of Battle 5. Resources - figures, paints etc 6. Tactics 7. Books 8. Fla...

Thanks to 'JUTLAND'who as a librarian,wargamer and all round good egg has managed to acquire information from an original work by Elphinstone written I believe just after the Crimean War for the Royal Engineers. I have seen the book and it is a goldmine of engineering detail and drawings of the fort...

Bob Lauder is just too nice a guy to say that it was HIS game at Glasgow that you admired Pappenheim and I agree, it was great!

I think his family are a well known Turkish sect who moved from Ismir to Motherwell.

I should be able to squeeze another one in! Take a couple of days to rustle up the unit profile but watch this space. With a name like Pappenheim you should really be a German but they are a bit thin on the ground in Byelorussia in early July 1944!!!

Others may like 'em but personally I would not recommend them. They are very bulky and anatomically out of proportion. They do not fit at all with the Foundry range. With a good paint job they'd look ok but it's a personal taste thing. If you are looking for odds and sods not in the core Crieman Ran...

There is a man I know......

A good friend in Lancashire called David Shuttleworth who may well have access to this very information. I think he is a subscriber to the forum and I'll e mail him to see if he can help out.

I am not certain that it is possible to give a definitive date for the withdrawal of pikes. I don't think there was a regulations code which specified their use(I may well be wrong on that point and there are definitely a few users of the Forum who would have more knowledge than I on the point). I t...

I don't know if anyone has seen it but I found Richard Marsh's response to my original articles comparing GHQ MicroArmor to Rapid Fire an interesting read.(Wargames Illustrated #212) My initial thoughts were that the article was more a `commercial' for the relaunch of Rapid Fire than anything else. ...
