I will begin sending out PayPal invoices in the next few days. Many thanks to all of those who have supported the book. Steve.
Update, 11th June 2018. We have interest from 70 people now for a 3rd printing of the book. We need to get to at least 100 to make the print run worthwhile. If you would like a copy please email Pat on kerstinsmith1234@gmail.com to register your interest, we will not ask for payment until the print run is ordered. Many thanks to all of those who have supported the book. Steve.

Update, 9th February 2018. 2nd printing of Setting the Scene has been delivered and the books will go in the post today/tomorrow. We have sold about 75% of them so we have about 30-40 copies left. If you have been undecided about getting a copy now is the time, as I doubt that there is enough interest to warrant a 3rd printing. If you would like a copy please email Pat on kerstinsmith1234@gmail.com and he will send you a Paypal invoice. Many thanks to everybody who have supported the book, particularly those who waited patiently whilst we dealt with the problems associated with the first printer. Steve.
Update, 26th January 2018. Setting the Scene has been sent for reprinting. The copies should be delivered in about 10 days time. If you would like to order a copy please email Pat on kerstinsmith1234@gmail.com.
Update, 16th January 2018. Setting the Scene – SOLD OUT – Many thanks to everyone who supported the book, we sold the last copy yesterday. There are still a few orders trickling in, so Pat and I have to make a decision about reprinting. We have decided to see how much enthusiasm there is for a reprint by taking pre-orders again. If you have seen my previous posts and were undecided now is the time. Please email Pat on kerstinsmith1234@gmail.com to register your interest. For now we are just collecting names to see if the reprint is viable, we will let this run for a week or so. I am also going to investigate the possibility of producing a Kindle version through Amazon, we have however ruled out producing a pdf.
Update, 15th January 2018. Interest in the book has been very good and we are very nearly sold out. Pat and I will now have to decide whether there is enough continuing interest to warrant a reprint.
Update, 12th January 2018. The Setting the Scene terrain book has been printed and all of the pre-ordered copies have been put in the post. Many thanks to everyone who supported the book.
Here is an update. The Setting the Scene terrain book is finished and has been sent for proofing. Pat and I are now asking for those people who have previously shown interest to definitely commit to buying the book.
We are not asking for money yet, please just go to the special page that Pat has set up on his blog and state how many copies you want. We can then get a better idea of what the final print run will be, we will obviously print some ‘overs’ but we cannot afford to print too many. Here is the link.
http://wargamingwithsilverwhistle.blogspot.co.uk/p/setting-scene_8.html
We will be asking for payment when we send the book for the actual print run which will be in about 10-14 days time.
Here is an update. Thanks for all of the interest in Pat’s Terrain Book. The design/layout aspect of the book is now finished. Proofreading will be done this week and print proofing a week to 10 days after that. When we get proofs/dummies we can work out postage costs and final price of the book. In the next week or so I will post and give instructions of how you can sign up for a copy.
Nearly there!
I have decided to venture into the world of self-publishing. Pat Smith is a wargaming friend, he has a blog wargaming with silver whistle. Lots have people have shown interest in his ‘Setting the Scene’ winter terrain. Between us we have decided to self-publish the book. It will be A4 and around 120 pages with step by step guides to building his winter terrain.
Very interested in this book.
Let me know when published.

Hi Benito, I have emailed you with details of how to get a copy, thanks, Steve.
Just got my copy and have to say you have done a brilliant job with this book – inspirational photos and great tips on almost every page. Many thanks!
Please consider print-on-demand options. Amazon and other self-publishing sites may be able to help you determine what the best course of action might be. The advantage of doing so in this fashion is that you will not be stuck with a stack of books in your garage or basement.
Hi Ken, thanks for that, it is indeed one of the routes we are considering along with a Kindle version. Steve.
Steve,
If it becomes available again, count me in!
Hello, we are taking pre-orders for a reprint, I have emailed you about details. Steve.
Used your book to make my Hürtgen Forest “Achtung” Chain of Command game, it was a great guide. I made a mat and winterized my 15mm terrain. I showed your book off at the HAVOC convention and I’m bring the game to Huzzah! next month. I describe your book as “Terrain Porn”!
Hi Tom, really pleased to hear that, did you take any pictures? It would be nice to see your terrain, I will pass your comment on to Pat, many thanks, have fun, Steve.

Sorry Pat, no plans for a reprint yet but I do intend on doing another crowdfunding campaign sometime soon. There is no pdf option.
Just came across some reviews for this book and was really excited to pick it up, but … it’s out of print? I think you could reach a lot more people with a digital version – I’d gladly pay around the same price as the physical copy.
Hi Joel, there is no pdf option at present, we might consider another reprint soon. Thanks, Steve.
Hi, just want to say I would be very interested in this book. hopefully I will see a reprint or digital in the not to distant future
🙂 There may be interest in a reprint, I would monitor the various FB groups that I regularly post in when I am doing a Crowdfunding campaign. Bolt Action, Chain of Command, Rapid Fire etc.
Hi, I would like to add my name to the list of those interested if there is another print run or a digital version. I have both Volume 2 and 3 and they are excellent so would really like to get a copy of Volume 1.
Hi Henry, many thanks, added your name to the lists. Steve.
