Bruce Conard of San Francisco writes: "I'm trying to get my 30mm Napoleonics painted and two armies built up. My plans for the future include a campaign in S.E. Asia in 1942, with navies. On my map of the campaign, the only way that the Japanese will be able to enter the Indian Ocean is by passing Singapore. By giving the island guns a range of 15 miles, I think the numerically inferior British and Dutch navies will be able to hold out until the U.S fleet arrives. The map that I am using is a wargamer's paradise with rain roads and roads that are seasonal; air bases, swamps, contour lines etc. Logistics will play a big part in this campaign.  John Cook of London ''Just bought an excellent 4 vols set of books on WWII: WOrld War II: And Eyewitness History published by Bantam 30/-. They give photos of many off-beat units like Japanese Marines, Horse artillery, Russian cavalry and French Goumiers at Cassino. " Joel Ziskin of Nurnberg "Do you know of any store, antique or otherwise which deals in the pre-1947 Indian Army and is there any organisotion of former members of the Indian Army which publishes a periodical concerned with its historical aspects and uniforms? Can anyone tell me up to what date the armies of Britain, India and Imperial Russia carried banners into battle in Centrel Asia?" Alan Smith of Brentford "The Airfix Japanese Infantry can be converted into WWI British and Turkish soldiers. Details of the latter were given in Jack Scruby's TABLE TOP TALK for November 1963, The Aifix Bedouin figures can be used against these Turks in refighting the Lawrence of Arabia-type battles of WWI." Bob Lillie of Cicero, Ill is working on a post WWI wargame with a date limit set at about 1929. It is to be an island campaign fought in a mythical world, and will include all weapons of the time including naval and airforces. The aircraft will be of the period type - all open cockpit and bi- or triplanes. The navy will play the most important part in the game, having to escort transports, keep open lines of communication and support landings. The armies will be organised in brigades of 5 battalions each, with cannon and mortars added to each brigade. 'A battalion in scale will represent 800 men - that is, each figure will equal 25 men. Each time a hit is scored on a single figure five men are killed. When 25 men are killed, one man is removed from the battalion. This is worked out on a sort of roster system although the troops are not stuck on cards (see Joe Morschauser's book for details of this). Peter Milner of_Worthing, Sussexe writes: "I now have about 1200 Napoleonic flats, painted to represent armies of France, England, Russia, Prussia, Austria and the Confederation of the Rhine. I have 40 sq ft of wargames board in the loft and fairly comprehensive rules. My chief needs are a regular opponent and workable terrain. S/Sgt Roger Moores RA SC H BA OR BFPO 40 writes: "A curved section of model railway track can be used to accurately measure turning-circles of aircraft, ships etc. As different firms have different track radii there are a number of different arcs to choose from. Michael Keen of Palm Beach, Florida, (what a colourful address) is interested in obtaining Triang Rubber houses. Can any Americv:n reader tell him where they are to be obtained iii U.S.A? Or can any English reader be a good Samaritan and get him some over here and send them out?
