I am trying also to recover from the lost of a half dozen family and friends over the last two years (non-Covid related), of which over half were follow gamers that I played with in the past. I really need to get more "happy" time in my life.<br /><br />Joesapperjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851863340366393341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713065305733038296.post-54191299686191664662022-04-25T21:24:03.383-05:002022-04-25T21:24:03.383-05:00Thanks, everyone.

I also have "Valentine Baker's Heroic Stand At Tashkessen 1877" and plan to read it after Barry's book. It will probably some time next year. I sort of stopped reading for a while and when I start up again, I am planning to read a few books about the end of WW1 ("Eleventh Month, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour: Armistice Day, 1918 World War I and Its Violent Climax", "Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World", and "The Innocence of Kaiser Wilhelm II")<br /><br />@Andrew: Thanks for the remarks and the link<br /><br />@Blake: As soon as I get more them based up, there will be a game for you sometime in the future.
