What are people buying?

[Penda]

The first French for the Crimean War project and two Orthodox priests from TAG.

Had a bit of a lash out and found this in a French bookshop, AMMAREAL https://biblio.com.au/search.php?order= ... id=3622573, via Biblio. Ordered 28 March, delivered today. The price (only $23USD) was quite good but, even better, P&P ($16USD for transport by flying machine to Oz) was less than the book!

That looks a lovely book

[DougM]

Agreed. Looks fantastic. I'm quite envious, although the army is no 172 on the painting queue, so would be a 'useful in future' thing.

[Essex Boy]

Indeed. What Simon said.

Well done you.

It's a nice book. Potted histories of the regiments and comments on known differences to the uniforms pre-1762. Nearly all the information is available on Kronoskaf, but there's pleasure in browsing a book that a screen can't supply. Now to look for the next one. Les drapeaux français by Louis de Bouillé, perhaps, or Susane's (if I can work out what's in the different volumes).

This!

[Count Belisarius]

Over the last year or so I've been picking up some of the excellent Bloody Miniatures stuff. You know. Just in case we ever do a C17th game...

Then last week I grabbed these on Ebay.





And that led to these...



And these...

FFS!

[goat major]

He's had to buy enough to do both sides because no one is ever going to agree to play 17th C with Andy after the Event
