The Exercise Tiger disaster, 27/28 April 1944 - eighty years ago yesterday. With apologies for being a day late here's my take on it, from #NormandySailors. RIP, we have the watch. 📷 US LST-289 limps into Dartmouth US Navy Photo 80-G-283502
legit or fake? place bets now *for full transparency, i am very sceptical*
“Bring up the Piat x2 and a Bren gun” Extracted from the 1st Airborne Division 1944 war diary.
This Saturday 4th May 12pm! kickstarter.com/projects/arnhe… #chainofcommand #boltaction #28mmbritishww2 #28mmparas #28mmww2
Research and analysis spanning 20 years have gone into the production of Pegasus Bridge, which will be published in late May (£30). Pre-order is available via Sabrestorm Publishing - ISBN 9781781220269. Sabrestorm.com/contact-us/. #pegasusbridge
You are a devotee of a serial loser. He was twice beaten by Monty. Rommel was an adherent to the Nazi cause, served Hitler personally and would have been implicated in a number of war crimes if he had survived the war.

Where would you like me to land Sir? As close as you can get Sergeant. Here, hold my beer Sir! In my head this is the conversation that took place in Operation Deadstick. Image found yesterday in 1st Airborne Division General Staff War Diary. #DDay80 #OpOverlord
Hey @I_W_M interesting to see that all your DDay merch is full of pictures of Americans, none of DUKE forces. Which is interesting considering that a) you’re The British and Commonwealth museum and b) DUKE forces were the majority of troops landed on DDay by far.
That’s it! All figures for Arnhem Heroes 2 have now been sculpted. Don’t forget to sign up for launch day May4th! kickstarter.com/projects/arnhe… #chainofcommand #boltaction #28mmww2
Great to talk about machine guns, mortars, and the Manchester Regiment in the run-up to the Normandy campaign on @WW2TV. Thanks to all who joined live or have shared kind comments since. If you'd like to catch up, a link to the show is the reply below.
Are you researching DDay? Did you have a relative that landed on the beaches? I have nearly 1,000 British Army Regimental War Diaries covering the landings and wider campaign. With my fee going to charity why not find out what they did and help a good cause? My DMs are open.
Ready #DDay80 (6th June 1944), we’re delighted and proud to announce a book release, a labour of love, from our research volunteer David Shergold. David’s book (‘Critical hours on D-Day: The epic advance of the 2nd Battalion King’s Shropshire Light ..1/2
Arnhem Heroes # 2 is fast approaching and we are all busy behind the scenes putting things together. Painted medic, Padre and casualty. Perfect to go along with the upcoming Ambulance Jeep. Sign up today! kickstarter.com/projects/arnhe… #chainofcommand #boltaction #ww228mm
Right - the Sikorski Museum in London. You need to go. Why? 1/ Oh, just the Polish flag which flew on the ruins of the monastery after the capture of Monte Cassino
Lovely to see news of an LGBT+ veterans memorial on the day Men At War is out. As I wrote in the book in the 80s & 90s Dudley Cave @PeterTatchell & others campaigned (to a hostile reception) for the wartime sacrifice of queer men & women to be recognised bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
All set to talk about 1st Battalion, Manchester Regiment in the build-up to the Normandy campaign on @WW2TV this evening - join us at 7pm... 🗓 Thursday 25th April 🕖 7.00pm (BST) 💻 Online
So I'm off to @EmpireLrp, in the endeavour to save the beleaguered Cassinean Empire through the actions of my ridiculous anti-hero. Yes, I am going larping, & you should larp too! Do not fear, my customary WW2 threads will resume on my return. #EmpireLRP #Larp

Research and analysis spanning 20 years have gone into the production of Pegasus Bridge, which will be published in late May (£30). Pre-order is available via Sabrestorm Publishing - ISBN 9781781220269. Sabrestorm.com/contact-us/. #pegasusbridge
Some very nice news. I sat with my dad in the new care home. It was the first time I had seen him in a year. We had 3 precious hours together. His memory has retreated, but he was pleased to see me which was a concern. x.com/historianblood…
Finally, the trauma is over. Dad is in a care home that specialises in dementia related cases. He has a room with a window overlooking the river. The family members are utterly exhausted but relieved. Thank you for all the kindness expressed this week.
I'm currently printing a second base for the limber. Since the crew comes with a couple extra guys above and beyond what a Bolt Action crew demands, I'll add the limber and extra men to a second base which will butt up against the first. A diorama I can split for different games!
If you've ever seen someone bewildered by a metal gun kit and you've answered, "Just get the Rubicon plastics!" as if that would be simpler, I'd really like you to consider how many three-handed hobbyists you know. Lost the tow hook somewhere on the bloody carpet, too!
Finished assembling the Rubicon Models 25pdr and limber. I'll take my engineering degree in the post, thanks. I'll finish the crew tomorrow - no brain for that now! In true Rubicon form it's a very nice kit, and where one piece will suffice there's four to glue together instead.
@william_toti Not having seen SPR is a win, as it means not having to unlearn lots of historical inaccuracies. 😉 Also I'm sure the students will have no problem watching the first 20 min. Which also happens to be the only bit worthwhile 🙃
