The story of the WW1 German commerce raider and minelayer the Moewe (Seagull).
Laurel and I headed out this morning to our local boot sale and I managed to pick up a copy of the above for the princely sum of £1!
I have owned this in paperback but it disintegrated a few years ago. It is a magnificent read and if WW1 commerce raiding minelayers are your thing then is book is a treat.
Relying largely on stealth for protection the Moewe could not outrun or outfight a warship she would be likely to encounter and so ploughed a lonely furrow across the sea, capturing and sinking stray merchantmen and laying mines were least expected.
Cracking subject for a mini campaign methinks!
In Other News….
The battle report for Developing The Portable Ironclads Wargame: The American Civil War has been drafted. I now need to add a selection of appropriate pictures to the text and then send it over to the editor-in-chief for his perusal.
It was great fun to write!

You sold your boots...?
Hello there MSFoy,
No boots were sold - aside from the obligatory pair of Wellies I do not own any others to sell! ;-)
Hope all is well in Chateau Foy.
All the best,
DC
