History (Military)
Leader: Alan Huyton - see Group Leaders Contact Details.
Timing: Monthly, Tuesdays at 11:00.
Location: online meetings via Zoom (to start with).
Activity: This group meets once a month, initially by Zoom video-conference. It looks at strategy, battlefield tactics and military leadership in historical contexts that are of interest to the members. This might for example cover hoplite and pike warfare in ancient Greece through to campaigns of World War Two.
We can use both the extensive literature available, e.g. the handy and reasonably concise Osprey books, video series and even simulation material as background.
Further details, queries, suggestions to Alan Huyton.
