PRESTAGS Gold Medal

Many thanks to my fine friends who celebrated my birthday with me on Zoom.

Chinese food and Charddy was compulsory.

A PRESTAGS gold medal goes to Python for the best Charddy quaff.

A big man needs a big quaff, and the best quaff is on Spetz’s birthday! We were honoured to be allowed to invite ourselves over!

This post does need a photo of Vladimir Putin eating a dim sum. If you have such a base of the photo, send it to my and I can work some Python magic.

Some weirdo's website.
Paradox Games - Hearts of Iron
In deference to Maurice please see link to the Hearts of Iron series of the computer strategic wargame
Empire
There is one computer wargame with elegant simplicity, many layers of subtle gameplay, and brilliant easy to use email capability: Empire (now Empire Deluxe Enhanced Edition). Even die hard board wargamers will become addicted.
Noble Knight Games
Nearly all of the best board wargames are out of print. PRESTAGS is over 32 years out of print! If you can't find what you're looking for on eBay, Noble Knight Games are second hand game specialists and this is the best place to look

If you want to play a wargame on a computer, this is where you will find the serious ones

Paul's Great Reads

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. (*****)
