Horse just came over the line at Ascot on odds of 200-1. Somebody has just won a fortune at the bookies!

Yarkshire Gamer - Live at T'Other Partizan #Podcast is out today, I visited one of the best shows in the UK and interviewed a whole bunch of people "live" whilst the show was ongoing. Avaliable on all major Podcast hosts #wargames #tabletopgaming #hobby

I agree with this. Even better if you're warm and dry, and watching it through the window of your snug little shelter!

An update from Mercian Miniatures on the Seelöwe Nord wargame at the end of November...

Keep getting requests to turn these into audio books. Might have to see what we can do about that. Could be a long and expensive process maybe? I shall investigate nonetheless.

Happy Agincourt Day, everyone. Always remember what can be achieved by a small band of determined people. It's never over until you decide it's over #Agincourt

Some of the early-war British armour that gets a walk-on part in my novel Seelöwe Nord... #WW2 #Military #History #Alternative #History

Happy Balaclava Day - Remember the Thin Red Line, remember the Heavy Brigade, and of course, never forget the 'Noble Six Hundred' of the Light Brigade. "There, Sir. There are your guns!" #ChargeOfTheLightBrigade #Balaclava #Crimea

Getting a random social call from my old Commanding Officer of 17 years ago, just to check in and make sure I was doing OK, was just the tonic I needed on a damp, dull Sunday morning. I have been tremendously lucky over the years with my bosses and colleagues 😊

Another 2,500 words cracked on the new novel today. Making progress! Can I make the May 26 target?!

I’ll be back on twitch from 8pm UK time tonight. twitch.tv/paintsdb

I did my signals course at Crowborough. Lovely little town with a quiet little training camp.

15 years on and Seelöwe Nord is still the strongest seller in the Finest Hour series... #WW2 #HistoricalFiction amazon.co.uk/Seel%C3%B6we-N…

My top tip for aspiring writers... Just get the words down. However imperfect, just get the first draft churned out. You can then spend as long as you want revising and improving it, but the reality is you can't tweak a blank page. So let it flow, in all its horrid glory!

Andy Johnson That is a cracking read and spurred me to look deeper into an era that I knew very little about,thanks!

Stiff upper lip at its finest. Attacked by multiple fast jets and holed in the engine room, but how calm everyone sounds!
