Who would have expected it? It is also interesting to read viewers' comments--the Serbs and Bulgarians have not forgotten the slightest insult...<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-18200306073614267662011-04-30T15:23:46.421+01:002011-04-30T15:23:46.421+01:00Conrad Kinch,

It's a Joe Miranda design and as far as I know, the only board wargaem on the subject. Nice articles, too.<br />http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/10269/balkan-warsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-91507678864208868602011-04-28T16:41:31.060+01:002011-04-28T16:41:31.060+01:00Mosstrooper,

My 40 mm armies on my blog (tin soldiering on) are loosly based on the Balkans with the odd invented one thrown in . The Balkans War 1912-1913 by Alexander Vachkov (avaible via Amazon) is very good as well, a bit more in deapth, although the translation is a little odd in places .Mosstrooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744308664219116701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-77692735990035347822011-04-28T06:35:17.933+01:002011-04-28T06:35:17.933+01:00David Crook,
