Rules: Twelve Elements of War. I'm going to lend them to a mate tonight so that he can put a warband together. If he likes it he may buy the PDF version, I may have the only hard copy in the UK as they are Australian in origin.

Gill's With Eagles to Glory (German allies etc) in paper form and his 1809 Thunder on the Danube on the kindle. The first I'm dipping into and the latter is a cover to cover job (despite battle maps being crap on kindle)

Fantastic books, all four (TotD is a 3-volume work). The orbat details and scenario potential in them is phenomenal.

Actually, all my books are in cardboard boxes. I am renting a bedsit whilst the lawyer winds up my dad's estate at which point I will turn half of his house into a two bedroom flat.

The sequel - Castles of Steel , covering the naval aspects of WWI, is equally good.
