A recommended read.

  I preordered this book in August and it has now been published. I bought it particularly for the protagonist’s service with the Danish Army in the last years of the 18th Century and into the Napoleonic period. The book is excellent filled with detail and potential scenarios for games. The AWI material is the main part of the book and is well worth reading by enthusiasts of that conflict. All in all a great read which I would recommend to anyone interested in the wars of the period and light infantry tactics as well.

  1. Ewald's Diary is one of the best resources for the AWI, hands down.

    I am hoping this book does the subject justice.

    1. Worth getting I’d say, I wonder if there are any reasonable reviews out there?

  2. Looks interesting. Once you have digested it, how about sharing a suitable AWI scenario?

  3. Very interesting looking book, with more than a passing interest in the AWI this is certainly on my "to get" list.
