L'Art de La Guerre 4th Edition…
L'Art de La Guerre: Wargaming Rules for Ancient & Medieval – 4th edition. 4th Edition of French ruleset translated into English. It covers antiquity to the late Middle Ages using miniatures from 6mm to 28mm high. The basing is compatible with the majority of existing rules. Contains 300 army lists. L'Art de la Guerre's flexible system allows players to play standard sized games in a matter of two hours with relatively few figures, as well as expansive games with multitudes of miniatures on large tables that can last an evening of play or longer.
An army will generally consist of from 20 to 30 units (one stand = one unit) divided into three corps (right wing, center and left wing), each led by a commander. Each troop type has a basic factor against other troops. Each unit has a number of cohesion points. Heavier troops in close formation start with more cohesion points than lighter ones. The losses from shooting and close combat gradually reduce a unit's cohesion and when it reaches zero, the unit is routed and removed from play.
Combat: Both players roll 1D6 and add their unit's base factor plus any bonuses. The higher score wins the combat and the losing unit suffers cohesion losses that vary according to the difference between the two results. Troops armed with missile weapons can shoot: archers, cavalry, light troops, etc. A successful shot results in the target losing one cohesion point. Specific rules for charges, impetuous troops, evading, inter penetration, bursting through friends, rallying units, routs, pursuit, and elephant rampage. $50.00 USD

Fight for a Throne: The Jacobite '45 Reconsidered. The bid of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Jacobites for the throne of Britain has never lost its grip on the popular imagination. In July 1745, he and a tiny group of companions arrived in Scotland. They came unannounced and unsupported, and yet within less than five months, Charles was able to lead an army to within marching distance of London and make King George II fear for this throne. Afterwards, the Highland Army continued to out-fight the redcoats in every encounter, except its very last. These were not the achievements of a backward-looking cause, and this groundbreaking study explains exactly why. Includes 120 color and black-and-white photos and maps. Hardback version. $100.00 USD

The German Way of War: A Lesson in Tactical Management. The central question in this book is why the German Army had a so much higher relative battlefield performance than the opposition. A central element within the Prussian/German Army is Auftragstaktik, a tactical management concept that dates from the middle of the 19th Century, and is still very advanced in terms of management and organization. Using more than 50 examples to illustrate the realities of the battlefield, including North Africa, Arnhem, and the Hurtgen Forest, the author explains why the Prussian/German Army was such an unprecedented powerful fighting force. And why Auftragstaktik – under other guises – is still the basic form of operation for many European armies, with even the U.S. army introducing certain elements of Auftragstaktik into its organization, more than 150 years after its conception. $43.00 USD
