Check out the rule set "1859" by Bruce Weigle.
He is the author of the Franco Prussian War rules 1870, which had a lot of great info.
Although now that I'm thinking of it, I don't remember there being a lot of uniform info in it.
Check it out.
Good Luck

Just received a copy of John Pocock's "Bitter Victory" which deals with the 1866 campaign in thy Veneto/Tyrol and the battle of Custoza. Includes coloured illustrations of 1859 Piedmontese/Austrian forces and the Austrian and Italian armies of 1866. Well worth the price of £15UK IR1 |

There is two good books on the uniforms of Naples called L' Esercito Burbonico 1830-61 (Uniformes of Naples 1 & 2). The two volume set runs for around $125, but I have seen it on Ebay recently. |
