Now you can find out how many horses the Swedish
Horseraper regiment had.
Useful if you have a month to spend and you don't feel like you do enough filing in your life.
What is Nafziger? :Embarrass:
I think it's the german word for sticking your finger up someone's ass while they are sleeping.

It is this dude that publishes Orders of Battle that wargamers and history nuts can use for their dark rites.

I mainly started the thread for grumbler to see since IIRC, he is into the miniatures wargames. But others might have a use for them.

Appreciate it, Ed... but I know which company now has all his books (and the OOBs, but he has been giving those away at cost for some time now). Stop by our booth at Cold Wars if you want to see George's stuff. :)
George claims that he is retiring. Dunno how long that will last. He is eliminating his book collection, though, which is sad.
To the others: mainly what George has been doing for years is translating primary source OOBs, and selling them for the cost of reproducing them. He is much, much better at translation than at actual writing, but his writing isn't bad. He was one of the first "print-on-demand" publishers in the military history business. Now lots of people do it.
Well, I'm very much interested... and quite frustrated by the paleolithic naming convention too.
I have already found some little gems like this battle order from the battle of Villaviciosa (1710)

Tough I can't understand why Philip V's army is defined as 'French' when absolutely all units listed belong to the Spanish Army... perhaps that was the term employed in the original? (it comes from Starhemberg Archives and Philip V appears as "Philipp Duc d'Anjou")
