Back home...

All good things must end and holidays too. Tomorrrow first day at work, the children will start school on Tuesday. A very relaxed an uneventful August, but  hobby-wise enough productive, although my ambitious initial targets have not been reached by far.

I did some nice progress painting with my Vietnam US Army and civilians, as posted a couple of weeks ago,  and have also finished 3 Romano British levy units for my Dux Britanniarum army.

I also invested time reading three interesting works on Vietnam, one dealing with the development of heliborne tactics in this conflict (Airmobility in Vietnam) and the remaining two about the Special Forces in the secret wars in Laos and Cambodia: Across the Fence and On the Ground.

In addition I visited the very nice city of Segovia, famous for its impressive Roman acqueduct...

... and its not less famous roasted pork...

... and (big surprise) where I found two very interesting works about the Spanish Civil War in the Madrid-Segovia battlefronts, in a local lovely small bookshop.

Finally I visited one of the Madrid battlefields, in the Guadarrama mountain pass of El León

 But on this, I will come back later this week (hopefully) with a more detailed post.

So I'm now ready for the autumn-winter waragme season at our Club, which ioncidentally have gone through important refurbishing works this summer. I'm really eager  to see the new more open lay-out,  with better lighting and more gaming space.
