Back at the TNA!

Different angle this week to keep things interesting

My two archive highlights for the day….

TNA time!

What a great valley for a single corps exploitation… it would be a shame… if someone… were to insist on adding a second corps 👀👀👀

A fantastic week exploring the Monte Cassino battlefields.

I was wondering what the ARC Wimbledon tickets were reminding me of then I realised… they seem to be ressurecting a bit of Austria-Hungary

Excited to get stuck into this volume… although first I’ve got some more market garden research to finish off in preparation for acting as a control for stone paper scissors megagame next month

A fantastic weekend spent at SAHR’s Land Forces of the Crown conference in Leeds. Too many great papers to name here but a very interesting weekend. It was great to represent the Second World War in a panel on training in North Africa with @meganahamilton.bsky.social and Samuel Wallace too

Just had one of thsoe books I enjoyed reading so much that I’m struggling to decide what to read next… mostly because I just want more of it!

Next on the reading pile!
After a few years of not reading Second World War in my free time… glad I can finally start again

First book of 2025 finished: Nick Lloyd’s latest addition to his superb First World War series (having read the Western Front volume over Christmas)

Oh I have been! Exhibit A… and Exhibit B (I didn’t buy the mug myself… it was a fortuitous gift)

As a first post on a new platform… can’t think of any better than to repost this!
