SOTCW Compendium now available

Now as most of you know I am the editor of the SOTCW magazine "The Journal", we wanted to help commemorate the start of WW1, so Russ Phillips and I coordinated and collated all the articles and scenarios related to WW1 into a special compendium volume.

This is now available in both e-book and paperback editions. Please note all profits from the sales are going to the Royal British Legion.
