Re Mark Urban - a friend of yours? Tell him I said congratulations on Big Boys Rules - an excellent read, and as a Northern Irish man I tend to be fussy about books I read about over here. Suppose that counts as another recommendation as well
I've seen Phoenix Squadron but haven't yet taken the plunge.

Re Mark Urban - I'll let him know he has another satisfied customer . I actually prefer his books about less contempory events - we share a common interest in my other hobby which is how I came to meet him - but it's mostly friendship through email (despite him living less than five miles away) because every time I'm due to pop round to his place he's being sent off to the latest crisis point for the BBC. He's a very nice guy with an excellent knowledge of the AWI and Napoleonic Wars - so far nothing of his that I've picked up has disappointed me.
