Rules…
Sabretache Napoleonics: A Game of Generalship & Tactics for the Napoleonic Wars. Large format, full-color paperback. Uses any figure scale. Command-and-control-dominated rules for corps-level-and-above games. The units are the traditional ones – infantry battalion, cavalry regiment, and artillery battery – but they are controlled in brigade groups by orders given with a few keywords. These are factored into a Tactical Engagement Chart that determines the type of engagement, and frees the player from low-level tactical decisions, allowing him to concentrate on the overall strategy. $38.00 USD

The Thirty Years War: 1618-1648 – The First Global War and the End of Habsburg Supremacy. The Defenestration of Prague, the coup d'etat staged by Protestant Bohemian nobles against officials of the Hapsburg Emperor, triggered the Thirty Years War. When Habsburg Spain intervened in support of their Holy Roman Emperor relative, what had started as a localized political and religious dispute in Germany transformed into a European and global conflict. It was a tragic war of attrition but also an epic story of remarkable individuals including the titans of the era, Imperial general Wallenstein, warrior king Gustavus, sinister Count Olivarez, and the masters of international intrigue, realpolitik and diplomacy – Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin. Above all, there were the decisive victories of the unsung military genius of the era, Lennart Torstensson. $63.00 USD

The Redcoats of Wellington's Light Division in the Peninsular War: Unpublished and Rare Memoirs of the 52nd Regiment of Foot. This collection of short memoirs from soldiers of the 52nd (Oxfordshire) Regiment has never been published before (and one previously published, but now virtually unobtainable). This collection will undoubtedly add an essential element to our understanding of the role of the Light Division, both in battle and on campaign during the Napoleonic wars. The Light Division is rightly regarded as the most famous force within Wellington's army in the Peninsular War. Often the first into every battle and the last to withdraw, the men of the Light Division were trained to act independently and think for themselves, as well as operating in their battalion formations. $50.00 USD

Armies of the Italian Risorgimento: 1848-1870. The Italian Risorgimento was the political process that led to the unification of the Italian peninsula into a single kingdom after three bloody wars fought between Piedmont and Austria. It lasted for more than two decades (1848-1870), and was one of the key moments in the history of Europe. Covers all the Italian military contingents, taking part to the campaigns of 1848-1870, will be taken into consideration and thus the armies of the following states will be covered: Piedmont, Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Papal States, Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Duchy of Modena, and Duchy of Parma. The analysis will not focus only on the regular troops, but also on the armies of the short-lived Revolutionary States and on the many volunteer corps that came from abroad in order to fight for the Italian cause. The whole book will be illustrated with a large amount of color plates, showing the uniforms of iconic military units like Piedmontese Bersaglieri and Papal Zouaves. $30.00 USD
