heh,heh,heh I know the feeling, I'm lucky if I get one game in a month but I still have a big box full of Battleschool dice :cool:

I wholeheartily recommend Chris Doary and Battleschool, FANTASTIC customer service and amazing dice I've started to build a collection of them, I never intended to (just meant to buy a basic set of backgammon dice) but once I saw just how good they are I couldn't help myself So, yep...

I like it, seems like we ASLers are pretty much alike then :cool:

I keep telling myself that it's all research material too :D I keep saying I'm going to get at least one scenario out of them but I seem to have hit a wall at the moment as I haven't been working on writing scenarios for ages, need to get back into it (course, the only problem is finding people...

Glad it's not just me that's starting to pile up the books:cool: all my friends tell me I have 'too many books' but I just ignore them:D

Glad you got home okay, I hope you're going to take a break first before you dive back into working on ASL

Many thanks, those links are brilliant :nod:

You're right, getting as much information as possible from as many different sources as possible is the way to go (as is interlibrary loans clearly) I guess my problem re the (rather brilliant) Osprey Campaign books are that most of the battles I have been looking at lately are small and...

thanks :nod:

Saying that, other than using an military atlas I don't really know how to find out what units fought in what areas at what time

Thanks very much :nod: all good advice, yep, chipping away at it and narrowing it down bit by bit seems to be the way to go right enough I don't have much time and money for the research though :D yep, have to admit I have always found it difficult to pinpoint German units

that forum is really good by the way, thanks for the heads up :cool:

Thanks, good advice, not sure quite where I would find the German reports mind you, I know where to find British war diary's (and can read them) but German? I'm a bit stumped I guess (apologies for my ignorance)

Not sure if I have asked this before or not but heck, here goes nothing I've been reading an American unit history lately and while it is very interesting and could yield scenarios I'm drawing a blank with it as it comprehensively fails to identify the German units involved, not one, nada, zip...

Ah, that must be it :D
