" Every once in a while there is a book that I love and hate at the same time. This is one of those books. I love that the most important army on the Allied side of the Waterloo campaign is finally getting the detailed coverage that it deserves, and I hate the fact that I now have to repaint a lot of my Prussian army (perhaps I should just buy more…..). Hofschroer does an excellent job of outlining the condition of the Prussian Army at the time of the start of the Waterloo campaign. Plagued with shortages of equipment and supplies while in the middle of both reorganizing and absorbing new territories and recruits the Prussians were able to confront Napoleon at Ligny on the 16th of June 1815, fight a massive battle, retire in good order that night and then, on the 18th of June 1815 launch the attack into Napoleon's flank that saved Wellington's failing army on the field of Waterloo while simultaneously fighting a rearguard action against Grouchy at Wavre…"

For what it's worth; I purchase all of the products that I review and I am often quite harsh with Osprey for what I see are failings that could easily be remedied. None of my reviews are sales plugs based on compensation. I WILL recommend a product that I think, after purchase and use, is of good value to a wargamer or historian. |
