Just a Few Notes

 It's been very quiet on the wargaming front what with poor health, car troubles and the weather.

Books - seem to have purchased a number of them recently - when will I get the chance to actually read them? 

Rif War - one of my peripheral interests - two books on offer so I troubled the plastic.  The Spanish Foreign Legion were fighting from 1909 with the more famous French forces as 'Johnny Come Latelys'.

DBA 'Missing' 15mm Armies - the annual availability check has been carried out with somewhat predictable results: 21 - 11 - 29 - 62

Under Construction by me are:

Book 1 - Assyrians       
Book 2 - Armenians & Jewish
Book 3 - Slav, Spanish & Norse-Irish
Book 4 - French, Maori, Scots Common, Islamic Persian, Jalayrid, Portuguese & Spanish)

I have plenty more in the unpainted lead mountain but, for the time being, I am ignoring armies that Ian already has.
