J.R.R. Tolkien: The Fall of Arthur
This book is recommended by Thygocanberra. I have a copy and will read with interest.
J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings
What can I say. My favourite book. I think I have at least four different editions.
R. G. Grant: Battle: A Visual Journey Through 5,000 Years of Combat
This is the dream book for wargamers. Literally hundreds of battles. Over 350 pages of full colour illustrations. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
John Gibson Warry: Warfare in the Classical World: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Weapons, Warriors, and Warfare in the Ancient Civilizations of Greece and Rome
We all have a wonderful book with fantastic illustrations, that amazed us in childhood, and followed us to our grown up bookshelf. This is one of those books. (*****)
Antony Beevor: Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943
In school we were taught such an English view of World War II. Now I have discovered the epic battles on the Eastern Front, truly gargantuan conflicts. This book is a great introduction to the Eastern Front and a brilliant history book. (*****)
Disaster! Fortunately the hotel gave me a full refund when I cancelled this morning

Oh no, a problem. The green screen is too long, even if I bring the equipment bag. Executive decision: no green screen.

Paul to bring the Hobbit II

BTW, I think the basic and advanced games of Space Empires will be sufficient learning for our aged brains. I think it would be very unlikely that we would play the expansion, but I support the rules would make interesting reading.
Further, we have tried two games of empire before and it didn't work for the same ready Jesus gave about two masters; you quickly find that you hate one and love the other.

Should I bring my power drill so we can erect a Faraday cage inside the apartment to keep out all EMF, and an antenna to stick outside to pick up the internet?
