Does anyone knows if the original "Maurician" tactics of dutch army did change during the last quarter of the war, under the command of Frederick Henry of Orange? If so, what were those changes? Also, are there any good sources about the battle of Frederick Henry? EDIT: I realize that the "2nd half" in the title is not really chronologically correct, but since the period I'm asking about is the one after the truce, I think it works somehow :D |

Try finding "Het Staatsche leger / onder toezicht van den Chef van den Generalen Staf bewerkt door F.J.G. ten Raa, ; en F. de Bas Deel 4, Van den dood van Maurits, prins van Oranje, graaf van Nassau, tot het sluiten van den vrede te Munster (1625-1648)" (Beda 1918) You may also want to study volumes 2 & 3 to get the proper context |

There should be two books you should read, first of all: Krijgsvolk by Dr E. Zwart (University of Amsterdam press) and next Olaf van Nimwegen's The Dutch Army and the Military Revolutions, 1588-1688. link |
