This is Charles' final volume in this series (don't panic! we will be starting an allied venture in the near future), and with most wargamers in mind, he turns his attention to what can be achieved with smaller armies... and in doing so, enlightens us about some of the absolutely fascinating and intriguing historical minor actions of the Seven Years War. So here we have Bamberg, Pirna, Olmutz and Basberg (both actions). This is achievable wargaming at its best, and firmly anchored upon the actual history. $60.00 USD
