Now, while I dilly and dally and dance from topic to topic when it comes to most aspects of military history, there are (as regular blog readers, and certainly most of the Osprey Bloggers, will know) two subjects for which I am a stone cold sucker.
Essentially, if it's Latin America, I'm sold. Similarly, if it's up-gunned and up-armoured vehicles* (the more improvised the better!), I'm there with bells on.

Early in 2010 we will bringing you the Raid title Certain Death in Sierre Leona – The SAS and Operation Barras 2000. This was the rescue operation launched by the SAS (part of the United Kingdom’s Special Forces), to rescue a group of Royal Irish Regiment soldiers who had been captured by a gang of rebel forces. The rebels, who went by the colourful name of the West Side Boyz, also captured some WMIKs, which were being used by the Royal Irish.

On the 27th and 28th June you can experience the best display of historic moving armour in the world at The Tank Museum - bringing the story of tanks, tank crew and soldiers to life!
Billed as the most explosive weekend in history, at Tankfest you can watch incredible live displays, mock battles and living history encampments - representing German, US and UK Forces. There are arena displays of historic armour from The Tank Museum's collection, British Army displays and rare Second World War tanks in operation, as well as the usual range of trade stalls and family entertainment.

I came across this video the other day, and it started me thinking (rarely a good sign)...
Given how well-received our recent New Vanguard on War Elephants has been, and the comments on our April Fools' blog, the idea of a New Vanguard title on dogs in war might not be as impossible as it might once have seemed.

In the early hours on June 6, 1944, the largest airborne and amphibious assault the world has ever seen was set into operation. Over 200,000 allied troops descended upon the northern coast of France and in the face of fierce German resistance pushed inland, as wave upon wave of troops invaded the mine-littered beaches.

For those of you who are not in the UK - you probably won't know about this early evening television show which has gained a cult status and following over the last year or so. But we are extremely excited to announce that for the first time ever, an Osprey author will be appearing on The One Show!

The 20% off discount on all of our New Vanguard titles ends at the end of the 31st January, and we have been looking at what you are all buying, and there is a rather interesting, surprising trend to what you are all buying - gone are the days of big tanks dominating the New Vanguard sales charts, not a Tiger, Panther or Sherman in sight - instead the list of New Vanguards that have sold well over the last 3 weeks is dominated by Naval New Vanguards.

As I promised here, every month we are going to announce what books have been re-printed and have been brought back into print and are once again available to buy online. The Production team here have been working their socks off to get a very sizeable chuck of our books back in stock - 40 titles this month - and nearly 80 titles due in for next month!

No not another piece about economic catastrophe and economic chaos but a look ahead to some of the Osprey titles coming out in 2009 and some wild guessing as to which might be the most popular.
