War in the East - Russian Turkish War 1877

My birthday was in October - I've just received my Birthday present - it was well worth the wait.
I've received the book  War in the East by Quintin Barry - published by Helion. If you read The|Road to Koniggratz or his two volume set on the France Prussian war - you will know that he writes very well and the there are numerous scenarios just waiting to be played. 500 pages - £45.00 very good value - and for the month of August Helion are offering 10% off everything in there catalogue. I've only dipped into the book but it looks to very good - lots of maps / illustrations (some in colour).

Pendraken do a range of figures for this conflict - are there any photographs online of the figures?
I expect I'll need a village ...can anybody suggest suitable buildings - I like the Timecast range.

Thanks

Does your wallet like the Timecast range? if so, I'd go for it. 

Cheers,

The war was fought mainly in Bulgaria (apart from the eastern theatre which was a bit of a side-show) and I doubt the countryside there has changed greatly since 1877. Try some of the guide-books, looking out for quaint old-fashioned villages.

There were some painted pics posted up some time last year if memory serves, I'll see if I can find them.  Actually there may have been some in the 2011 Painting Comp...
