So, I'm starting a new project using Fife and Drum and RSM Figures. I have the 2 Osprey's (1 and 2) and Mollo's 'Uniforms of The Seven Years War'. What other books should I add to the Library – ? Thanks in advance for any assistance! |

Kronoskaf SYW Project. It is an online resource for all things related to the SYW. Link to Russian Army: link If you click in the links of the regiments, it will re-direct you to a page that includes a brief story of the regiment, service during the war and uniform details. See, for instance: link |

I have Digby Smith's Armies of the Seven Years War in addition to the above but Project Seven Years War is pretty good and has the advantage of being free |

If you are collecting Russians I very highly recommend a copy of "Russia's Military Way to the West: Origins and Nature of Russian Military Power, 1700-1800
by Christopher Duffy" if you can get it for a reasonable price. |

FT: thanks, yes, that book is on my list. A cursory search reveals that it is expensive on the secondary market. |

I received the Greenwood Book a week after ordering it. Great value for the price and for anyone starting out in this period with Russians (like me) it's an excellent reference. |
