Ron my friend (i'm actually laughing as i write this)you need to sit down pour a stiff drink and read on.If you needed to buy some dead Coldstream Gds following my last post,you are going to want heavy machine guns for your French inf for this!

In the summer Osprey are releasing there latest book 'British Napoleonic tactics'Heres what the intro says........

'The Britsh Army that faced Napoleon was small by continental standards,but it consistently out fought larger French Armies never losing a major open field Action'....

Put the rifle down Ron,slowly...move away from the window!

Just kidding mate,thought you'd like to know about the book(theres also French tactics released already,do you have that one?)

I am all for more Naps and AWI!

Last week, one of the huge furniture companies here went out of business and I bought a nice curio for my office at half price. I transported all of my K&C AWI and Alamo series figures here to my office. In addition to those, I brought my John Jenkins FIW figures here too. Everyone here in the office seems to really like the figures. They really go well with all of the Napoloenic prints I have up on the walls. Since I have so many K&C Naps, I keep those at the house.

How many of you that work away from your home during the day, have some of your collection at your offfice?

I have a HUGE Curio Cabinet in my office as well. It is full of my Napoleonics - Crusaders and John Jenkins / Braddock Campaign.

Everyone loves them when they come into the office and clients enjoy them as well. Since I lobby quite a few defense issues - it makes a great conversational piece. Plus it give me more room at home to grow the collection !!

By the way, below is a picture of my first child, a daughter, that was born on February 27, 2008. I never thought my first child would come when I was 37 years old!!! We have named her Kayla Madison Pace. Her and mom are doing excellent. She was born three weeks early and weighed 6 lbs & 8 ozs. 19.5 inches long. She is my pride and joy. She is two days old in this picture taken at the hospital. She has been very alert for being born so early.

Congratulations, MK!

And take advantage of every moments with her. My daughter will be eighteen tomorrow and it seems like yesterday that she was born.

This is what people should really be happy about.

Congratulations- she is beautiful- feel free to PM me during the long nights of diapers and feedings as I will probably be up with my 2 year old as well...

She has a "Devil may care" look to her in her eyes- better keep those toy soldiers clear from her.

Hey Pierre- my daughter is 7 going on 18- I am sure you have been in the same position- sitting there scratching your head- ok- where did I lose those last 11 years??

Congratulations Darrell! She looks alert enough to wreak havoc with your collection. Beautiful looking daughter and I'm glad all is well with Kayla and Mom.
Enjoy.

Congrats MK! My first daughter was born last October, and my son is 2. Parenthood is amazing and exhausting all at the same time.
