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:

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:

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.

Just ordered the Greenwood volume – thanks to all who recommended it!

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.
