Re: Question regarding Hungarian history (was Re: FT Lancers)

Hi all,

Thanks to Robert Eldridge and Buky Akos for the answer to my question,
it
was Jozef Bem whose name I was trying to remember. Though I couldn't
remember his name ( a common failing of mine) I was incredibly impressed
by
him and what he achieved against such overwelming odds, that also goes
for
the Honved's themselves.

I have always assumed, geographically and geopolitically speaking, that
Hungary would be in the NSL, given that Hungary is a central European
(or
"mittel europe") state not "eastern european", the latter term a recent
one
born out of the cold war. I would think that Hungary would avoid the ESU
like the plague, and Hungarians, not being a Slavic people, might not be
too
keen on joining the Romanov Hegemony. I see Hungary as being an equal
partner within the NSL, certainly not inclined to take a back seat and
let
Germany and Austria dominate affairs of state.

This gives me an idea, as I recently obtained a copy of Stargrunt
(thanks
St. Jon, sorry about the bother), I might make my first project the
creation
of a Honved platoon...hmmm. Anyone got any suggestions on where I might
find
background info on them, other than the Military History musuem in
Budapest?
;-)

Thanks again for the help,

Regards,

Matt Tope
