" First up is a book covering a little known and much disregarded part of the War of Spanish Succession; the actual war in Spain. Suffering under the lamentable name of "Marlborough's Other Army" (I really doubt that his high-and-mightiness, John Churchill, gave more than a passing thought to events in Spain) this little volume is chock-full of the sort of information that it would take the average gamer ages to accumulate. I am highly recommending this book to anyone interested in the campaigns in Spain. It has some serious drawbacks (which I will explain later) but, as a single volume, I cannot think of a better start on the theater in question…."

I agree it is a good collation of what information is out there in one volume – I didn't find anything startlingly new. Poor maps are a common complaint with many but my copy of this – don't know if there's a later edition – is absolutely packed with typos. Helion were really setting the standard for failings in proof-reading when this came out but their recent offerings have been a marked improvement. For all that still worth having, and yes I hate the title too. |
