The postman didn’t ring at all…

..and certainly not twice. But there was a slip in the postbox. Something to pick up at the local grocery shop/post office.
I had my suspicions…
 I got a sack! What the…!
Inside, a heavy box. Very well packaged.
Oooooh, suspicions true
More than 2,3 kg and 1000 pages of history!
This is the prize from the latest competition at Miniature Wargames. I answered the tricky questions and got lucky in the draw.
What a prize! This isn’t something I will read cover to cover, but as a work of reference it is invaluable. I love books, and this is something I can love a looooong time. Lovely.
Short informative texts on most every conflict there ever were. From Haik vs Nimrod 2492 BCE to Syria now.
Good maps
A great thank you to Casemate, which supplied the book, Henry Hyde and Miniature Wargames, a great magazine. Extra good, as this is my second prize this last year.

  2. Congratulations!

    I'm not jealous, well a little, but I wouldn't have room for that tome at home. I'm just going to give it a flick through each time I'm at your place instead.
