When Coulston was a postgrad in Newcastle, he used to go up to a convention in Edinburgh with a bunch of Geordie lads from his wargaming club and it always involved a pilgrimage to the Flodden memorial. Occasionally, one of them might be tied to it. Unusual people, wargamers.

My book manuscript has a hair over 2,200 footnotes and I typed them all manually so that each and every typo is handcrafted, artisanally, for your annoyance.
