H24970 – FIRST BRITISH ARMY, 1624-1628. THE ARMY OF THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM / Spring, Laurence 290 pages. Very well illustrated. The army raised by Charles I in 1625 for his war against Spain and France is one of the best-documented armies of the early 17th Century. Using archival and archaeological evidence, the book covers the lives of the officers and men serving in the army. The author discusses how the men from England, Scotland and Ireland were recruited (as well as how they were clothed and what they ate; the medical care; and the tactics used by the army at this time). The second half of the book covers not only the expeditions to Cadiz, the Isle de Rhe, and the siege of La Rochelle, but also their effect on an England who feared a Spanish (and later a French) invasion. Also covered are the campaigns of Count Ernest von Mansfeldt's and Sir Charles Morgan's armies at this time, which fought at Breda, Dessau Bridge, and against the forces of the Holy Roman Empire. £22.50 GBP

The book, the first detailed study in English, will relate how the two armies were raised and equipped; the commanders and their colorful personalities; and the lives of the soldiers and their campaigns – climaxing with the Battle of the Dunes and the siege of Dunkirk. £17.50 GBP
H24974 – TWILIGHT OF THE SUN KING: WARGAMES RULES FOR THE PERIOD 1680-1721 / Classic Pike & Shot Society rules admirably revised with some exciting ideas from Nick Dorrell. I look forward to trying these myself. £10.00 GBP
