Elites: Hungarian commanders of the AWI and ACW
The Founders of West Point

New Vanguard: Gribeauval's Innovations – cancelled as it would not actually fill more than one page.

Oh this one is for real! Make-up techniques of the U. S. Marine Corps 1980s. You laugh but this was a training manual and required training for Females in the US Marine Corps basic training course during that time. I figure Opsrey can do this right after all the elite hill woman of Northern Europe.

James Mattes

They would love it – almost all of the staff (and all of editorial) in the UK office are women these days.

Make-up techniques of the U. S. Marine Corps 1980s. eh? "Remove camo stick from pouch. Uncap camo stick. Apply to face until obscured. Kick ass."

Osprey Booster Pack 1: Fold-Out Maps from old Osprey Campaign Series

- so you can see those missing inches of map lost to the book binding.

Can we have one with the bibliographies completely absent from many titles?

18th and 19th century books (ACW aside). I jest not – I have just looked at the 18th, Nap and 19th sections, where there is not even a "Future Releases" section let alone anything in it.

"…almost all of the staff (and all of editorial) in the UK office are women these days…."

Having come across this phenomenon several times in the world of books and journalism, can anyone explain how organisations made up overwhelmingly of women seem to exist quite freely, whilst those with the reverse composition are either accused of sexism, or else sued out of existence by any woman who doesn't get through the interview process?

Original idea there tancred – how about…..

Colour plates may need to be edited on that one

Rather late & tired with the anti French Tancred – are you too busy eating 'rendition fries' to notice?

[French Victory Parades 1815-Present]

More ignorant French bashing.

How About:

Someone will probably tell me that they now print recycled on recycled.

Campaign- The Waco Seige. That would actually be pretty interesting in OSPREY format…

When they going to do C19th Austrian Army (3) artillery? I'd really like to see that title!
