Re: The brand new Black Cross Red Star, Vol. 1 has arrived from the printer - order now

Was it in English!! I'm guessing it is, but B/D description has it in two places as Swedish language.
I also contacted B/D and they confirmed SWEDISH.
I got a refund, but I need the book!!!, Sacre Bleu....

Yes, my copy is in English.

Here is the link to the page that I used for my order. I would be surprised if Christer published an edition of BCRS in Swedish. I strongly suspect that the "Language: Swedish" is a listing error on the part of the B/D website.

Yes, that's link I used, look at the Swedish in description of this.
I'm beginning to think B/D haven't got a human checking!!!!
I think they're mixing up Publisher with book language....

Agreed. Someone looked on the webpage (they certainly did not pull a copy of the book) and responded, "Yes, it's most certainly in Swedish."

Hello Christer,
I'm finishing vol. 5 now. Great reading!
What does mean the stars for the table at the bottom of p.319?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Best regards.

Do you mean these stars?

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
Those are for the table above.
I'm talking about the stars in the table below. For the Soviet losses.
Actual losses by 17 VA
Actual losses sustained by 2 VA, 17 VA and 16 VA.

Book Depository has corrected the language for volume 1 BC/RS from Swedish to English.

Enjoy!

Frank.

Oh, now I see. It is a misprint. There should be no star.
