Hofschrorer (sic?) is good for the Prussians. Yes, he is an apologist, but it does balance other views. Also see Lord Chalfront's Waterloo: Battle of three...

Hi, Dave Waxtel...October 21st we are having a bus tour & dinner, OMG a bus load of wargamers...run. We will be touring all the battlefields, and Museums in...
No I don't want to go. Just note the spelling of the restaurant's name and consider that Mr. Waxtel gets very upset when people don't agree with him. LOL In a...
... Heres to a quick and uneventful recovery. Oh, and Bill, you may now resume breathing (didn't think you could hold your breath for a whole surgery, did...
RE green and arsenic content etc. Ok. I will use more irony next time! On a serious note re the italian flag I think Bill could be right. Also for the record...
