Got my order in already. No idea when I'll find time to read it or even paint anything related!

It's good!
When I was in university way back in the early 1980's the university library had a copy, and along with the Funcken's two-volume Lace Wars which I got at about the same time, it really got me interested in the western theatre of the SYW.
I've been looking for a copy for years, but whenever I came across on it was selling anywhere around of $400 or more, so at the price being offered for the reprint, ordering a copy was a no-brainer.

Shouldn't be long now before we get our orders.
That is, of course, if this isn't an elaborate plan to get our cash and these bandits are now sunning themselves in Rio. 
Anyone interested in a pyramid scheme?

One day, Reggie gets fed up of his lot and stages his own disappearance.

Eccles, word of advice: Be very, very carefull when signing things that have the word "Army" anywhere on them.
Last time I did they kept me for a year and a half, without even a choice in colour of clothing.
