Audible Book: Why France Collapsed

This is one of my special "era of interests" the "clanky tank" and the disasters of 1940, in particular France 1940. The Guy Chapman book is one I have always wanted to read (had a battered copy but never got round to reading it) so I snapped it up when I saw it in the Audible store. I am glad I did. Part way through at the moment and it;s a brilliant read, as good as Alistair Horne's epic "To Lose a Battle" (see below):

Highly recommended :)

A List of Interesting Things (Idle Thoughts on a Sunday)

What's on the painting table without having a designated painting table (the curse of having things packed away in boxes). My current periods of historical interest/reading (in a haphazard order of sorts):

• Ancient Greece (BCE 480-479): A lot of 15mm DBA armies and the question of how to play Salamis
• WWII Naval 1:3000 [i] (Early Atlantic 1939-41) Up to and including Sink the Bismarck
• WWII Naval 1:3000 [ii] (Early Pacific 1941-42) Japan Triumphant
• WWII Naval 1:3000 [iii] (Early Mediterranean 1940-42) The Malta Battles
• WWI Naval 1:3000 North Sea: Jutland
•  WWII Western Front Infantry Battles: Those 20mm 1944 Normandy British Infantry to finish and some 20mm SHQ BEF figures (and an excuse to paint the Airfix Fairy Battle).

Game on :)
