Off Line

Sorry for the lack of posts lately but I was without internet services at home for almost 2 weeks as we transitioned from DSL to U-Verse.  In the meantime I managed to update the FOG 300 base rules to be FOG 3.0 compliant and to get quite a bit of reading done.

Here are 4 books I have read since the beginning of September:

Also just finished Simon MacDowall's book:  The Vandals.  I am not a huge fan of his writing style but I will pick up a copy of his book The Goths to add to the collection anyway.

Currently, I am reading a novel by Jose Gomez-Rivera pictured below left about Aetius.  There is a second book pictured below right.  The first book I am over halfway through with but is quite interesting and describes, among other things, Aetius' time as a hostage with the Goths and a supposed relationship with Gallia Placida.

All of these continue to feed my painting of Foederate/Patrician Roman era troops for FOG.  I have an army of barbarians being painted by Paul Potter that should add quite a contrast.  I'll post pictures when the troops are closer to being finished.
