Hello,
Does anybody know of any on-line sites that provide diagrams of battlefield formations and maneuvers during the 18th century? I need illustrations.
Thank you |

10th mountain Encyclopedie was written around the times of AWI, and supposed to be state of the art of "modern" current knowledge. So the internal bn manoeuvres are very likely the ones of the French army then, which they had with Rochambeau, not no much safer for WAS or even SYW (with small variants). |
