Apologies*, Steve the Wargamer was in urgent need of some sun, warmth and brightness^ so I've been in the Caribbean for a couple of weeks..  no military history of note, and no wargaming, but loads of good books read, and cheap local lager drunk... 😏

Spent a fair amount of time on this one... 

*With all due respect to my reader, clearly I'm not..  😁
