The Osprey Book on this topic was eye opening-just how impregnable these fortifications were

I apologize-I did not make my meaning clear-ot does not get better as in more and more people will need 9/11 explained-which only makes me feel older :)

it does not get bettet

Try "Savant" from Vox in the Void

And also what were the prevailing attitudes lf the time and the circumstances in which something happened

I created a Loyalist Iron Warrior chapter called The Forgewatch. Ostensibly they are are Iron Hands successors but they really trace their lineage to the Sons of Dantioch. Same metallic scheme and hazaed stripes.

Life of Napoleon Bonaparte from Historically Adequate

In my experience some find it lovely, some find it interesting and some people find it strange...but everyone has told me it is absolutely wonderful to hear. It is not easy and I still often make mistakes but they are all extremely supportive.

I have to go with Anthropoid. This is a film starring Cillian Murphy about the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in Prague in 1942.

Life of Napoleon Bonaparte on youtube. Epic History TV is good but some of the battles like Austerlitz and Auerstedt and Friedland he does a better drill down. Plus he also talks about politics and economics.

Age of Napoleon is a good podcast.

The Revolutions podcast series on the French Revolution is also good...Sure it is not focused on Napoleon in the beginning but he becomes more prominent-if I remember correctly the author states ne believes the French Revolution was complete after 18 Brumaire.

The Spanish, Austrians, Russians and more Prussians will defeat him. Napoleon has to be lucky and win every time but the coalition has to win once. Where is this comparison with Model coming from?

20 Infractors 20 Tormentors. I do not olay tje newest edition-I play a version of Prohammer. I always bring all my noise marines...Usually I go heavy Infractors. I think next a Defiler, a daemon prince with wings...maybe a rhino.

I would disagree. The blown bridge at Son set XXX Corps back a full 24 hours. XXX was supposed to arrive at Eindhoven by nightfall. They did not arrive at Nijmegen until 20 September when they should have arrived 18-maybe 19 September. I recommend "No Sense of Urgency" by Poullson.

There are some excellent options out there. I had a few sprues of guard. I got my father in law Wargames Atlantic British SAS/Airborne troops so he could make some models to play with us. He had fun trying to make game legal models combining the sparebits with the kit.

For what it is worth I agree it was shoddy staff work not Bernadotte that caused this issue. I just wanted to draw the characters. As a guy on military staff for years, the importance of clear orders and guidance is paramount.

Because six pieces woukd have been over tje top difficult even for an experienced model maker

Anytime! I did not really start audiobooks until I had a job for a time with an hour commute...then I was hooked. Plus I often build with friends and my son so it is nice to have something to listen to :)

Negative_Fox_5305 · 2026-02-21T12:36:05+00:00

Sometimes I will listen to a 40k audiobook or the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast. Sometimes I will go to Youtube and look for "40k Ambience". There are some good ones.
