I little nostalgia for those that enjoyed this series.

Specifically, "Tank Battles in Miniature: A wargamers guide to the Western Desert Campaign 1940-1942" by Donald Featherstone.

The author served in the 51st Royal Tank Regiment in North Africa, so his observations on armored warfare are still valuable resources. And yes, I too own a copy of Tank Battles in Miniature, although I never played them.

He came to my booth at Historicon many years ago. He sat and talked for over an hour. He even showed me his photo from WW2 in an Ostey.
