Half the point of doing it is to get a better grasp on figuring history out rather than slavishly obeying the Ospreys :DMike Whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165272678144625943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-21907716086321235282013-05-14T21:31:17.030+01:002013-05-14T21:31:17.030+01:00My degree is in History and Archaeology - the most...My degree is in History and Archaeology - the most enjoyable four years of my life. I also have a diploma in Prehistoric Archaeology - Flag Fen is a fabulous site. With regards gaming and history I agree with Aki - do not assume it will be compatible with your Ospreys, and convincing others so is hard work - 'established' history is very hard to turn over! :-)<br /><br />Anyway, best of luck with it and enjoy it.

As a bonus the team are real life nerds, BBT but better.

I was gifted a question on Napoleonic fortifications in the exam and got an A* as a result! was certainly worth doing but don't assume it will support a wargamer's view of history!AKIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603611698724045609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-12752977141054236152013-05-10T18:20:58.555+01:002013-05-10T18:20:58.555+01:00I did get some college time in archaeology but cou...I did get some college time in archaeology but couldn't afford to go very far, much to my regret.
