… from the Estado Militar of 1800. "Based on an extremely rare (albeit slightly incomplete) illustrated version of the Spanish Army's order of battle as it existed in the year 1800, this work cannot but form a most unusual addition to the collection of anyone interested in military uniforms (or, more specifically, the Revolutionary and Napoleonic era). Almost every regiment of the Spanish Army is represented – including such extraordinary units as the Royal Corps of Cosmographic Engineers – while the beautiful full-page, hand-colored engravings of the originals have been supplemented by a transcript of the details (in brief, the senior officers and the uniforms) given in the published edition of the army's order of battle, to which the album reproduced in the pages of this work was intended to complement. Also included is a substantial introduction to the Spanish Army in the period immediately preceding the Peninsular War – written by the leading expert on the subject – that will be of great interest to any student of that conflict; the soldiers seen in the book are, after all, pretty much the same as the soldiers who suddenly found themselves fighting Napoleon in 1808."

With the name Alan Perry on the cover, I take it this means that Perry Miniatures Spanish are on the way. Hurrah! |

Tango01 Please stop it. Please stop offering more books. This title means there at least 8 more books I will have to get this year! And it is only March. Will it ever end? (seriously, nice spot) |

If the Perry makes a comprehensive range for the Revolutionary Wars, Spanish Army included, I foresee tough times for my visa. |

I doubt that the Perrys will do a comprehensive range of the Revolutinary wars in the next future – glancing from the pre reviews – Alan Perry is the owner of the original picture source. |

I spoke too soon! George Nafziger has a book out, Imperial Bayonets, at the end of April. Guess there is no end. LOL |

VW Well, you know that from time to time they like to surprise us. Those Napoleon in Egypt range is as a good start as any. A man can dream! |
