There was a few from the U.S. that I thought I might be able to use. Trying to find it online is a different matter. I suspect that they are not too good a read. I think Ross Macfarlane might have it right, using such things as the Fenian raids against Canada for inspiration.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-92184471581570100032018-07-13T03:52:26.543-07:002018-07-13T03:52:26.543-07:00John

I also downloaded "The Great War in England in 1897" and started reading it after seeing it in his blog. I stopped reading as I wasn't getting into it. Perhaps I should give it another go; it would provide scenarios for both land and naval wargames.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-25268024846912686312018-07-12T23:15:34.885-07:002018-07-12T23:15:34.885-07:00You might also like Eastern Garrison blog and its ...You might also like Eastern Garrison blog and its 1897 campaign / figures and original Army plates https://easterngarrison.blogspot.com/2018/06/buying-cheap.htmlMark, Man of TINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485063133593455522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-89963572091459360672018-07-10T13:57:55.468-07:002018-07-10T13:57:55.468-07:00Thank you for the tip on suburbanmilitbriam,wordpr...Thank you for the tip on suburbanmilitbriam,wordpress.com. Hopefully tonight I will have more time to view it. I did make sure to bookmark it. I have been searching in vain for another blog that I saw a few weeks ago. Sadly, it seemed to have few viewing but I found it an enjoyable blog; however I didn't bookmark it! jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-55651648560226318982018-07-09T23:23:36.289-07:002018-07-09T23:23:36.289-07:00Great haul!

However, this bookstore does have quite a large selection of military history books, and there's very few used book stores left in my neighborhood.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-23262381979072140742018-07-09T02:35:27.924-07:002018-07-09T02:35:27.924-07:00The rules play out well solo.
