It is very good to have some news to update the blog with. The Gustavian project continues, with some very good book finds in Hay on Wye - and some deeper research into the land component of the campaign. Material in English is thin, but there are some interesting academic articles and two very good stand alone books about Finnish regiments in the Swedish service. The next posts will cover fortifications and a comic opera; and then back to ship building.
Most of the last three months has been absorbed with the republication of Funny Little Wars. I am working with MR Creative, who have also assisted the Old Talbot House Foundation with a new website:

I really like Martyn's approach, and he recently won the illustrated sports book of the year.

The book is now with the designer, and the text is completed. In support I have re-launched the FLW blog to support the revised edition. It aims to place Little Wars in the context of 1911 - 1913, and has a more simplified approach - whilst containing all the mechanisms of the originals.
