Colonial American Troops 1610-1774
ISBN: 9781841763248 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) From the earliest English settlements the survival of the infant colonies in North America depended upon local militias. Throughout the 17th and early 18th centuries the burden of successive wars with the American Indians, and with the regular troops and militias of Britain's colonial rivals France and Spain, fell mainly upon locally raised volunteers. This first of a fascinating three-part study includes a general introduction and chronology, and chapters on Crown troops in North America; and begins a colony-by-colony review of militias and provincial units. The text is illustrated with rare...

Napoleon's Guns 1792-1815 (1): Field Artillery
ISBN: 9781841764580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) As a young gunner, Napoleon Bonaparte was trained in one of Europe's finest artillery arms. Both the technological sophistication of their weaponry and the skill of their gunners was largely the result of the adoption of the system devised by one man, Jean-Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval. Gribeauval's standardised system of parts and calibres allowed a degree of uniformity and sophistication in the French artillery that was unmatched throughout Europe, and allowed Napoleon to inherit and develop an arm that could dominate the battlefield. This volume covers the field artillery pieces of the...

Louis XV's Army
ISBN: 9781855326255 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In Louis XV's army the classification of 'French' infantry denoted troops recruited from men born and raised in France. These regiments were called, naturally enough, infanterie francaise as opposed to the mercenary 'foreign' infantry recruited elsewhere. Making up the bulk of the army, all officers and men were to be of the Roman Catholic faith, the official state religion. Regimental recruiting parties went to towns and villages looking for likely young volunteers, inducing them to enlist with the usual promises - quick money, fast women, good wines and great glory.

Spanish Army of the Napoleonic Wars (3): 1812-1815
ISBN: 9781855327641 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This volume covering the final years of the Peninsular War (1808-1814) and the long trek over the Pyrenees into France concludes the author's remarkable in-depth study of the army that fought alongside Wellington's redcoats throughout the Peninsular War. Prior to 1813 it was the Spanish armies that bore the brunt of the fighting and this text based on primary research in Spanish and British archives which will be new to most readers fills a large and long-standing gap in our knowledge of those Napoleonic campaigns which have always fascinated English-speaking students of the period."

Louis XV's Army
ISBN: 9781855327092 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In 1715 France had a sizeable overseas empire in America, Africa and Asia, its colonies garrisoned by thousands of regular officers and soldiers who belonged to the Navy's colonial establishment or by the French East India Company's troops. Though these troops are not usually covered in histories of the French forces, since the end of the 17th century, they saw considerable action against the enemy overseas. This last volume in a series of five (Men-at-Arms 296, 302, 304, 308 and 313) details the uniforms, arms and accoutrements of Louis XV's colonial and naval troops. The text is accompanied...

The Portuguese Army of the Napoleonic Wars (2)
ISBN: 9781855329812 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Osprey are confident in boasting that this remarkable three-part study will transform the research material available to the English-speaking student of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). Most know that Wellington's Portuguese troops were praised as the 'fighting cocks' of his army; fewer appreciate that they represented between half and one-third of his entire forces. Similarly, most uniform historians have been limited to a few half-understood paintings by Dighton, and brief notes from secondary sources. Rene Chartrand's recent primary research in Portuguese and British archives now offers a...

From the earliest English settlements the survival of the infant colonies in North America depended upon local militias. Throughout the 17th and most of the 18th century royal troops were seldom shipped out from Britain, and the main burden of successive wars with the American Indians, and with the regular troops and militias of Britain's colonial rivals France and Spain, usually fell upon locally raised soldiers. These units also fought alongside the Crown forces during major operations such as the French-Indian War of the 1750s. This second of a fascinating three-part study covers the...

Monongahela 1754-55: Washington's Defeat, Braddock's Disaster
ISBN: 9781841766836 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Osprey's examination of one of the key campaigns of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). On 9 July 1755 amid the wilderness of North America, Britain suffered one of the most humiliating defeats in her history. General Braddock's army, a mixture of British regulars and American militia, was shattered, losing over 900 men from a force of 1,300. Braddock was killed and the remnants of his army rescued by his aide, Colonel George Washington. The origins of this defeat can be traced back to the death of a junior French officer little more than a year before in a relatively minor skirmish with a...

The 'Spanish Main' the Spanish possessions in the West Indies and the Central American and Mexican coast was the envy of Englishmen, Frenchmen and Dutchmen from the 16th to the 19th centuries. To counter their assaults as well as those of pirates, the Spanish built an outstanding system of fortifications much of which still stands today. This title will cover the three main periods of development including the first 'castles' in Americas based on medieval styles built to protect against marauding adventurers including Sir Francis Drake. Later these forts were adapted to reflect the improved...

ISBN: 9781855326026 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) France had a population of between 22 and 25 million at this time, and maintained the largest standing army in Europe. In peacetime it might have amounted to about 200,000 men; in times of war, it could be anything up to half a million. A substantial part of Louis XV's army consisted of numerous regiments of guard cavalry, heavy cavalry and dragoon regiments, which were considered the best and noblest part. These many units form the subject matter in this first of five fascinating volumes Men-at-Arms 296, 302, 304, 308 & 313] by Rene Chartrand covering the army of Louis XV's."

Louisbourg 1758: Wolfe's First Siege
ISBN: 9781841762173 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Osprey's study of James Wolfe's siege of Louisbourg during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). Louisbourg represented a major threat to Anglo-American plans to invade Canada. Bypassing it would leave an immensely powerful enemy base astride the Anglo-American lines of communication Louisbourg had to be taken. Faced with strong beach defences and rough weather, it took six days to land the troops, and it was only due to a stroke of daring on the part of a young brigadier named James Wolfe, who managed to turn the French beach position, that this was achieved. The story is largely based on...

Spanish Army of the Napoleonic Wars (1): 1793-1808
ISBN: 9781855327634 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Spanish Army was transformed during the 18th century by an influx of progressive officers who modernised and expanded it. It was closely modelled on the French armies of Louis XIV and Louis XV in tactical doctrine, organisation, armament and uniforms. In battle, they were often brave to the point of carelessness, and were thus sometimes difficult to control. The army also had several Swiss and Walloon regiments, less given to all-out attacks, but renowned for their steadiness under fire. In this first of three volumes, Rene Chartrand examines the organisation and uniforms of the Spanish...

During the war for Spanish independance from Napoleonic France, Portuguese and British troops launched a daring raid into southern Spain, siezing the ancient city of Alcantara. Napoleon had left his brother Joseph as King of Spain with some 300,000 French troops to put down the Spaniards, nearly all of whom had revolted against French rule. At the beginning of 1809, British forces held most of Portugal, while Marshal Soult attacked the north. Porto and most of the upper Douro River basin were taken by the French, but they met with stiff resistance from semi-regular and guerrilla-like...

This Osprey title examines the crucial campaign culminating in the hard-fought battle that finally drove the French from Portugal during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). In October 1810 the Allied position in Portugal appeared precarious. Despite defeating Marshal Massena's French army at Bussaco, Wellington had been forced to retreat to within a few miles of Lisbon. Here the French encountered a massive line of fortifications stretching from the River Tagus to the sea. Built amid great secrecy and on Wellington's specific orders, these Lines of Torres Vedras were the French high-water mark....

Following his study of the astonishing range of French Royalist and foreign mercenary units employed by Britain in the period 1793-1802 of the French Revolutionary Wars (Men-at-Arms 328), the author describes - often for the first time in an English language publication - the part played by their successors during the crucial years of the Napoleonic Wars. He covers not only relatively well-recorded units, such as Roll's, Meuron's and Watteville's Swiss corps, but also the unjustly neglected Italians, Corsicans and Greeks, and such exotica as the African and Ceylon regiments. Uniform details...
