Preview of new Russian SYW guide

I just wanted to wet your appetites, you Greenwood & Ball fans, with an illustration from the new booklet 18thCenturyPress is preparing at the moment on the Russian Army of the SYW.

This will be the third in the series following on from No1. Prussia and No.2 Austria.

Release date will be early next year - well that is the plan anyway. My compliments to Pete the illustrator who, I think you will agree, has a fine eye and an even finer drawing hand!

I'd like to hope that we could embark on the forth booklet towards the end of 2012 and to that end I'd like to invite ideas from you as to which nation we should cover next. All except, I think, the French whose army was so large that two booklets would be needed. So, leaving them aside, whose army should be next? I'll do a poll.

New SYW Russian booklet

Just to let you all know that we have started work on the third colour booklet in our Greenwood & Ball series on uniforms of the SYW, which are available from 18thCenturyPress (link on the right hand side).

While I have an excellent illustrator in place, I'm looking for someone to write the copy and liaise with him. I am prepared to do this myself later on this summer but I thought I would ask out amongst my readers if someone fancies the job. If they do, please contact me by email via the contact button at 18CenturyPress.

The provisional cover is shown above.
