"In praise of the Foreign Correspondent of the CWS" Topic

I cannot praise enough the Foreign Correspondent of the CWS. Tons of information of uniforms, campaigns, OOBs on 19th century wars, including the less known ones. Well worth the money for the CD and the subscription.

Many of the questions I see asked on the 19th century forums can be partly covered from the excellent stuff in the FC.

Konstantinos,

How about a link? My Google-fu is weak this morning.

Thanks,

Jim

I need to get involved in this – sounds right up my street!

ColCampbell unfortunately they do not have a great web presence(actually nil).

Which is a pity because their stuff is good and could in pdf form make a nice companion to the ACW Gamer Ezine. It is well worth the money. The CD comes with 69 issues, and they can send you the current ones via pdf. They cover uniforms (b&w and color drawings) and history.

Each issue is about 15-40 pages (fewer early on, more as time passes). They are jam-packed.

Do not let the low tech level turn you away from it.

Here is a pic of the cover of the 100th issue

With Respect

Got me going – I was wondering why the Cooperative Wholesale Society needed a foreign correspondent.
