The weekly update email from JJF had a new book coming from AFV Modeling titled “Duel in the Mist” about LAH during the Ardennes Offensive.
Link:

Because it is published by AFV Modeling I was wondering if this is more of a photo album and geared mostly towards modelers. I like pictures as much as the next guy but for $110 I would also like to see some new information about the actions that took place during the time frame this book covers. Since some of the authors are members of this forum I was hoping one of them might comment on the textual content of the book.
Thanks in advance.

Timm thanks for the response.
I guess i was wanting to get an idea of the number of pages of text to pages of photos but in reading the description again i realized that simple math would have given me my answer. I am now interested in getting a copy.
The description says mid April for leaving the printers any idea who the US distributor is and when they will be receiving their copies? JJF made it seem like it was RZM but i did not notice anything for it on RZM site.
thanks again.
Richard

The book IS listed on RZM's site, at least it was the last time I checked a few days ago. It then had its own large hyperlink, it wasn't just a small link in with the mass of books.

Did someone here read the book? Look like a great one to order, Is there something new concerning the Ardennes offensive to learn in that work?
