Like you, my support for them is also expressed by the stack loads of their titles that occupy my library.<br /><br />Cheers<br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-15775656289157285862018-10-14T11:36:36.652-07:002018-10-14T11:36:36.652-07:00Oh the illustration of the marching camp posts is ...Oh the illustration of the marching camp posts is great! Very smart,sounds like a really good book,I have to admit I am a big fan of Osprey, occasionally variable but a lot packed into a little book, I must have liked them, I did have every MAA in publication at one point!<br />Best Iaincaveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-81566178330775990462018-10-10T22:22:01.835-07:002018-10-10T22:22:01.835-07:00Couldn't agree more on Osprey books, often der...Couldn't agree more on Osprey books, often derided but somehow essential.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PeterPeter Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664350158453065725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-6494635915426855292018-10-09T09:18:37.000-07:002018-10-09T09:18:37.000-07:00Hi James,

What are your thoughts on the passage of lines for Polybian Romans? <br /><br />Joking. <br /><br />Thanks for the review of the Gilliver book. Perhaps it might shed some light on earlier times.
