Wicky Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 a tip rather than trick for protogrogs and ubergrogs http://www.barbarossabooks.co.uk/ Whilst swinging down some country lanes only 7 miles from home on my motorcycle I did a double take going through a little village called Tiptree more famous for its jams (yanks - jelly:)) when I saw a sign saying 'Barbarossa Books' at Zhucov House. I popped and was greeted by the owner, Russell Hadler, who let me look around his copious Aladdins cave of books on military vehicles, uniforms and WW2 history. I asked if he had heard of the Combat Mission game and the impending CM:BB and with a straight face said he hadn't - Gulp! Thought I'd share this goldmine with you as I got 'When Titans Clashed - How the Red Army Stopped Hitler' by D.M. Glantz and J. House as preporatory reading before my Mac CM:BB disk wings its way over the ocean for the 20th and promised I'd mention his emporium to you all on the forum.

Ex Bellator Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Damn - I'm trying to get to the 'main site which lists over 8,000 titles in detail' and it just returns me to the first page. Am I doing something stupid for a change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 The only listing I could get to are the T-28, T-35, and Firefly books that have direct links. There is also a list of future books, but no information or prices on them. I'd say that the website is unfinished. Maybe drop them an e-mail? The only thing that deters me is the time for mailings and the high cost of postage if you choose airmail. Be nice if they got a US distributer.

In the catalogue there are over 200 different books listed just on the Eastern front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
