Just finished a good read: “The Trojan War a New History” by Barry Strauss (ISBN-10 0-7432-6442-8). It’s not a dry history book as the author make the protagonists really come alive. The background of the Trojan War is explained, and a lot of the “nuts and bolts” of the ancient Near East are explored. Watch the movie, then read this!

Mike Demana won the Open event. Diceman (!) won the Book IV event. Dave Zecchini won the “Best Painted Army” award. Legions Hobbies also extended 20% off on everything to all attendees, so everyone got loot!
