Its everything you would expect from Osprey...
A short but informative history and some nice pictures...A good little primer.
I was however rather amused by the claim that this is the first book on the subject published in English...
I believe this one may be the first...
Even more amusing is that Conrad's Book and Articles in Wargames Illustrated are referenced in the bibliography...
Ah! but I am merely teasing... Its great to see another book on such an interesting and very colourful 19th century conflict.
Of course this doesn't help keep the butterfly under control...I am rather tempted to put together a couple of forces for a Song of Drums and Shakos... Of course once I have finished my French and British...
Flutter Flutter...
All the best Aly
...And the Perry's have such a wonderful line of figures for the Carlist Wars, too--bright colors and powerful fragrance to any butterfly :)
ReplyDeleteThe ‘claim’ from Osprey pretty much sums them up I’d say. Try not to flutter off line, but if you do at least do a proper Army or two, none of this 50 figures and done stuff.
ReplyDeleteGrrrrr! Another book that comes out AFTER I have collected the armies!
ReplyDeleteGot it for Christmas but have not got around to reading it yet, can't imagine it will provide anymore than Conrad's does though.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I was looking at it yesterday and just managed to avoid ordering a copy....you're not helping again Aly!
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me the Perry's will be getting some money from you soon :-)
