There seems to be a vast fund of information available for the Dutch but very little about their opponents. I've been looking at the battle of Seneffe as a starting point for building armies but, although the Dutch OB is available (kudos to Unlucky General), I can't find anything similar for the French/Imperial/Spanish army. I've already looked at the Nederlands Rijksmuseum, Gallica, the Marburg Digital Archive, and a number of blogs, etc, but no luck. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. FWIW, I can read a fair amount of French, a bit less German, and a smattering of Dutch and Spanish, so sources in those languages, while time-consuming, are still fair game. Since I can't read Russian or Japanese and have forgotten all but two words of Swahili, so I'm afraid those are out. LT |

Batailles Françaises Vol. 5 by Colonel Hardy de Périni.
Gallica's copy – around p. 93:

It's a good start; in the morning I'll dig out my French-English dictionary and get to work. Thanks much. LT |
