NEXT MONTH ON DESPERTA FERRO

Well, in the second fortnight of this month we've got the local fête here in Castellón and that all-star cast live action musical Beauty and the Beast (with my Obi-Ewan as Lumière and many other stars... SQUEEEE), but in April this year we'll get something more than Easter eggs and fluffy chicks... This March number of Desperta Ferro Historia Moderna sheds spotlight on Borodino and Kutuzov, but, skimming the final page for a preview of next month's April issue...
I got the flutters once more...
Reaction of awe and excitement exactly when I realized Ewan McGregor would star as Lumière.
I had been waiting and praying and wishing for this military history series to cover Gustavus Adolphus, obviously.
