Rather arcane for here but print on demand copies from Lulu of the 1929 “Purple Primer” and its 1931 sequel on Armoured and Modern Formations. These have been almost completely inaccessible for years and they have arrived today

"Purple Primer" - now there's a phrase we could have fun with.

Early War German Tank force from Warlord (15% discount in their end-of-summer sale, plus a voucher for another £5 off) and a pack of Blitzkrieg-era tank commanders. Four Panzer IIs and a Panzer IVD for France 1940; considering getting the French version (three R40s and two Somua S-35s - to go with my Char B1-bis peloton) and having an interesting What a Tanker game involving a load of tanks with strike capabilities of 0-1 and defence capabilities of 4-5.

Well, Game 1 should see out the COVID pandemic, at least.....

That's not much money for some classic stuff.

I can afford a small lulu order.

She's getting on a bit, so you might need to shout.

I read the book, Nino Culotti IIRC, who was no more Italian than I am, and the follow up book. Hadn't seen the movie.
