Has the OFM died? What's with all the dedications? |
| Cardinal Hawkwood | 03 Aug 2011 4:53 a.m. PST |
an act of public support..I'd rather not get any further involved in all the toxic threads going around.. |

Fair enough. I got fed up with the whole thing and turned off the talk about TMP board TMP is now a better place … well for me. Getting back on topic. Those south American liberation wars have always appealed to me kind of napoleonics, which have never done much for me on the wargaming front, without Napoleon. |

Looks good. Although you really should buy at least a Supporting Membership if you're going to advertise here. If I knew the history better I'd be interested. I recently read a good biography of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna that was an eye opener. And I just read that an Argentine privateer (pirate?) raided Spanish California during the Independence Wars. But my Spanish is very poor. Can you recommend a good general history of the Independence Wars in English? |

Ditto with zippyfusenet. I would certainly like to know of the history of the liberation wars in South America. |
