Note to Self: Naval Kindle(?) Books - Russo Japanese War

I have a strange (hot and cold) interest in the Russo-Jap war (as in I am trying to justify a large collection of 1/3000 Navwar ships of the period). So I was thinking to myself, maybe I should re-kindle it ("Gedit", ok corny joke) with some background reading. An Amazon scan revealed:

Note: I did have the two Corbett titles but my interest in the period waned and I passed them on (mostly unread, that was the problem - I just could not get into them, unlike the WWI books by the same author, which I devoured). Also for Corbett's books it seems strange how the Kindle version is the same price as the paperback one - at least the one that is currently available!

For my reference material on this period I fell back on a game (see above), the Russo-Jap 1904-05 Avalanche Press naval campaign game and David Manley's "White Bear Red Sun" naval wargame rules. A game and a set of wargame rules instead of books, crazy but true!  

My Classic Traveller Journey Begins (or re-starts after thirty four years) and Kindle Joy

It came. Huzzah! But even more importantly, I managed via resurrecting an old laptop to gain access to the CD, transfer it to a flash USB and get it on my computer so I can read it at my leisure (see below, an inconspicuous looking package but it literally contains a whole universe of ideas, or even multiple [infinite worlds] universes): 

"Calling Free Trader Beowulf, hold one we are coming ..." but I don't know whether that is good or bad news.

Update: Even better, I learned how to send PDFs to my Kindle via an App called "Send to Kindle", please see following links:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=G5WYD9SAF7PGXRNA

Three small Steps: 

Install/Download App (called Send to Kindle)

Login to Amazon

Select destination device

Right click PDF and select "Send To Kindle"

Also from Steve-The-Wargamer:

No App needed Geordie.. make sure your Kindle knows to accept emails from your email id, and just send the PDF's as attachments on a mail to your Kindle's email address.. it also works for RTF, or Word DOC or a number of other formats.. more here... https://www.amazon.com/gp/sendtokindle/email

There are many ways to "skin the cat" :)  

Book: Small Wars (from The History of Wargaming Project)

Courtesy of John Curry's History of Wargaming Project subscriber email and Bob Cordery's (Wargaming Miscellany) post this little tome caught my eye (see below, and it's a beauty!):

It concentrates on asymmetrical wargame and fills a gap I have in COIN games (or could be seen as a starter into this area). The figure count required is low and te ingenuity level is high. Having read each section you want to play.

• ISAF Operations
• Colonial Foreign Legion
• Afghanistan (Soviet Era)
• Bush Wars (Africa) 
• 1920's Ireland: The Flying Column
• Vietnam

Note: I am not on commission but it is a little gem, see link below (Note: It is in the Solo Wargaming Section although I think the games would be best run with an umpire and group of players over a pint).
