Hello everyone,

Looking for the most complete book on the battles of the WsS with the most complete and precise possible battle orders and uniforms ect…

Thank you all.

Not sure there is one book that will cover them all. There were two major theatres in the war, as well as some minor ones, and it would take a massive book written by the most knowledgeable historian, to do what you are looking for.

Kronoskaf com, well-known for their coverage of the Seven Years War, initiated a similar site, War of the Spanish Succession.
While still in its infancy, check the link eBooks for sources used to date.
At the moment there are titles for Art of War, Campaigns and dictionaries.

Cheers,

There are novels by G A Henty that are fun and free on a Kindle.

I was hooked on tricorns as a 10 year old due to his stories about an English dragoon in the WAS.
Other characters and wars are available ;-)

Of course, finding "The Wargame", and "Charge!" in the local library as well as the works of Mr. Henty has led to there being a couple of thousand figures in tricorns within 10 feet of my desk and chair.

Have fun.

@timurlank,

I've seen Kronoskaf com before, usually trying to get info on uniforms. As I was checking it again, I notices among the battles of 1709, the Battle of Rumersheim. I don't seem to be able to find much on it online. Anyone know about this one?


Cheers!
