In a blatant piece of self promotion, anyone going to the Osprey website can now see two of the colour plates from the book.
The cover shows Dillon's regiment charging the Allied lines whilst a preview post shows the French Carabiniers engaging the front of the Allied column.
The "unseen third plate" is less of an action shot, but more of an overview of the French defence works (taken from the original French sketches).
Enjoy,
Mike.

I preordered it today together with other interesting books from Osprey (Ramilies for example). I will surely write a short review.  |

The book arrived last week. I read it. But I have too much to do now (reenactment and Family). No surprise, that it is a lot more detailed than the french book...

Damnitz,
hope you enjoyed it - Have also been under the "cosh" with work family and - strangely enough - researching the new book which will not only cover Saxe's 1745 campaign (up until the fall of Brussels) as well as giving an overview of events prior, but will have a large number of appendices ....one is a detailed analysis of the British Train, whilst one am working on at the moment is a transcript of the Ingoldsby court martial.....
On the other hand, if you didn't enjoy it, then any constructive criticism is always greatly received.
All the best.
Mike

We will Play the battle, when I painted Gardes Francaises etc..
Since last week I'm more interested in the battle of Melle although this should be difficult to recreate on the TT. But it's of a good size.
In the best of all worlds Osprey would publish books about all leaders of the WAS in Flandres (Noailles, Waldeck, Prinz Karl, Bathyany, Ligonier, Cumberland).
