The Loose Association of Wargamers

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

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.

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).
