"#12 in Books > Sports, Hobbies & Games > Hobbies & Games > Indoor Games"

Now up to #10 in that category, and also doing quite well on the US Amazon site. Congratulations to you, Richard, Simon and Terry... it looks like you have a wargaming hit on your hands!

Cheers,
Scott

#1, #3 and #5 if you include the army list books.

Does anyone have any feel for what this might mean in terms of volume?

Nice to see this. Hopefully, as it's Amazon, the volumes will be quite high given the amount they sell. Fingers crossed.

Though I'm happy about the high interrest, I hope this doesn't mean that Amazon will be sold out for weeks/month. Darn. I'd hate to wait for the reprints!

my own mini-amazon has sold 13 copies so far this year, with 52 books in total if you include the army lists.

Most people seem to be buying the rules and first 2 lists, with about half pre-ordering the other 3 lists too

Not much interest in the list specific "normal" books yet, but maybe this will be after people actually get the lists themselves?

Never heard of Warfare in the Ancient World, it actually looks very good. Anyone know anything about this book. Good from a wargamers point of view?

Anyone know which battles/campaigns it covers?

Madaxeman, I don't understand the concept of an amazon mini store. What is it all about? I have ordered the rules and the roman/carthaginian lists from the standard amazon.co.uk

I presume the mini store is related to http://affiliate-program.amazon.co.uk/g ... /main.html

Hopefully mine are some of those (1 Rules + 1 RR + 1 SA). Though that this little tribute to the one and only madaxeman and to some of the best ROTFL I had reading its reports, was deserved.

exactly right - its Amazon.co.uk with a "skin" from madaxeman.com and a more FoG friendly categorisation of the books.

glad you enjoy the reports

cheers
