>>5645533I read all of Dan Abnett's Gaunt novels, I only just recently watched one episode of Sharpe though (the Liz Hurley bosom one tee hee hee). I realised that despite the superficial WWII commissar stuff Bernard Cornwell's Napoleonic Sharpe is probably closer aesthetic inspiration for Abnett's vision of 40k, Gaunt's Ghosts and the Tanith regiment though
