Google is your friend first and foremost... a lot of the sources I quote are available on Google books, sometimes in extract form, but as it happens if I get a reference they aren't sharing I also have a lot of the books anyway... the Scott, Young, and Wanklyn books are well worth getting. If I was to have just one the Peter Young book is so readable it would have to be that..Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-8079603312521378172020-01-31T18:39:42.581+00:002020-01-31T18:39:42.581+00:00JBM...

You don’t normally move an army of 5000 any great distance without somebody hearing about it. Grandison should have employed my wife...she’d have made a great scout - she certainly seems to notice everything I do.
