I always have a sense I'm missing a lot of illusions in these books though. Never read any Russian lit (bar part of War and Peace) so maybe that's it.<br /><br />Turkish Gambit is one of those books dangerous for wargamers to read as it could lead to additional spending on toys!nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.com
