Wouldn't it be easier to just wait for some wind......

.....I'll get me coat.

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

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.

Blimey Buff - he's slagged you off good and proper, right out of the blue an' all.
(Not blue anal, that's probably something Purps is into)

Oi Oi, I don't snipe, I may occasionally lurk & pounce but I have noting but contempt for people who use sniping software to bid in the last few seconds. I lost a few like that this week, I nearly bought a copy of Rank & File for 99p just to see if EB was being maligned by everyone else but someone sniped me.

Sounds like a guardian angel Buff.

Someone payed more than 99p for them ?

One born every minute.

Some 1/200 planes have arrived. A pair of Hurricanes and a vic of Heinkels. Somehow, a pair of defiants seem to have fallen into my shopping cart.

These are for our Christmas meeting which will be planes of 1940.
