You may or may not remember a young practically penniless schoolboy who used to have the pleasure of wargaming with you, it must be 7 years ago - it must be. Vell this lad ran off to join the Marines and now a little wiser (not quite so penniless) but still with a keen interest in Napoleonic in general and wargaming in particular wishes to come back to the fold. In other words Don - please find enclosed a subscription for the Wargamer's Newsletter, that is if you are still running it. Moving around as I have been doing for the past few years my army is in a sad state - still only a couple of cavalry units and a half dozen infantry units but I have a fair knowledge of uniforms and have read a good few books of the period. At present I am a 'copper' - I left the R.M's and I now run a couple of police boats on Lake Malawi (ex Nyasa) with the dizzy rank of 'super'. However Africa being Africa I am pulling out to try something else when my contract finishes in mid-72. Looks like I am writing my life history here - sorry. All I wanted to do is establish contact again with members of the fraternity and get hold of the Newsletter again. I will probably be home over this Christmas for a few weeks.
