Latest Purchase 'Battle' by Charles Grant

This month I have been trying awfully hard not to add to my hoard of unfinished projects and kits. Purchasing has been limited to 'really' good deals and scenery or books. So the second book of the month arrived today after some great service by the trader...one day after payment it was here, compared to some of the other purchases in the last few years, that's practically 'light speed, warp factor 5 ,Scottie'.
So onto the book; Battle by Charles Grant, a classic wargaming book from the 70's of which I have read so much in all fairly great reviews and memories. I have been on the hunt for this book since reading and drinking up John-Michael Murray excellent article on the 'Action at Twin Farms' on his awesome and inspiring 'Minaturezone' website; http://www.miniaturezone.co.uk/WARGAMES/Twin_farms_revisited/index.htm
The issue was left to no further doubt when I saw it online for a second edition hardback for $8.00 NZ. A quick flick though and it looks a nice simple book with some great 1970's Black and White shots of vintage Airfix and ROCO kits. So that's this weeks night reading planned.
