Thomo's Hole

The Society of Ancients is catching up. Slingshot for Sept-Oct 2013 appeared in the letterbox here in Singapore on Monday. I believe that Issue 291 has gone off to the printers already so should arrive shortly completing 2013. It’ll be time for a renewal of membership then and hopefully the 2014 printing schedule will catch up with the passing of the actual months. In this issue, however, are some interesting articles:

• Ruspne 46 BC — Reconstructing the battle using Lost Battles – Part 2
• The increasingly long “A Short History of the Iberian Peninsula from 400 to 1100 AD – Part 6”
• A piece on the Battle of Hastings
• The Campaign and Battle of Sambre in 57 BC
• Army Selection and Gaming Style
• Chinese Dynastic Colours — a really interesting piece from Duncan Head
• The Battle of Montaperti 1260 AD — the SOA Battle Pack

The only problem with the issues coming out so quickly at the moment? Instead of savouring the journal I’ll need to read it somewhat more quickly that I had planned.
