Dear Bernard, First let me say I like the new look of the forum it looks really good. Second in regards to the Hundred Years war there has always been a lot of discussion on Joan of Arc and whether she was a military genuis or a mad woman that got lucky before she was burned. I wondered what your opinion was?. Third In a previous post you mention about writing another Novel on The American Revolution I was curious about what part it would be set in and whether it would have any of the British Riflemen/Leaders like Tarleton or Simcoe. The Queens Rangers did have a reputation as the best fighting unit on either side and do you think Sharpe would have got on well in them??? btw Have you read Mark Boatners Encylopedia on that war. Its a little bit old but pretty much an A-Z on the conflict if not I can recommend it. Yours sincerely, Geraint
