Well we are all Sancho Pansa or Don Quixote here, so windmills to tilt at are good.

Felt. Pale green, desert and mid blue, all to get painted and stained to take the edge off the colour. And some smaller pieces to be turned into terrain types.

Re: What are people buying?
Everyone needs a Spanish windmill. Even if they don’t know it.

Stop.. just stop. Between that and the Duffy Freddie the Great book from Helion, too many temptations...

My eBay copy of Charge arrived. It's an odd one. Still in the cellophane wrapping, softback, new, and no reprint information? As I expected, it was 99p until 5 seconds before the auction closed, and shot up to over £10. I really hate eBay snipers.
Anyway, will put the castle aside for a little while and enjoy this one. The tiling and stonework aren't my favourite bits anyway

Terry Wise did a paperback reprint in the 80s. There’s also the Ken trotman reprint

Re: What are people buying?
Interestingly, there's no indication it's a reprint. It has to be, as it's paperback.. but it still has the 1967 publication date. I would have expected it to show reprint dates. But it was printed by Billing and Sons Guildford, and bound by Mansells. It's literally as new, even had a (damaged) cellophane wrapper, excellent quality paper, unlike some 'classic' reprints I've seen.
The front cover clearly shows them playing Sharp Practice as the grenadiers are in groups of 8 with some attached leaders.
