Stephen Summerfield's Prussian Landweher of the Napoleonic Wars - first look. - Fabulous - I'm so happy!

This is a very quick review of first impressions. The book arrived today from Ken Trotman and it's fantastic - it's gives colured illustrations of all the uniforms and gives the dates when uniforms changed and evolved, as well as details of equipment. This is exactly how uniform books should be - whether for the modeller or the wargamer.   I know it was published a few years ago, but this is my first site of it. 

Thank you Stephen and I hope you find time to publish many more of these :-) 

Buy it direct from the Publisher here:   https://kentrotman.co.uk/newbooks/prussian-landwehr-of-the-napoleonic-wars/

Here are some of his other books - and here.    I've roderd some others so will share those when they arrive.

Prussian Battle Flag from Leipzig in 1813 - Landwehr? Something Else?


I spotted this flag for sale.  It appears to have been white (or gold?) with embroidery and to have hung vertically.

The seller says it Prussian and from Leipzig in 1813 but doesn't give any explanation of why?  Does this flag ring true? Which service would it be?  More details here.

28mm Prussian Napoleonic Line Infantry - Elite or Calpe?

I wish I paid attention when I painted things (probably in 2003/4. This is a definite 1813 regiment, but I can remember which.  The Flag is a bought one and the  figures are either or Elite or I think more likely to be Calpe.  I painted them using this book.
