Swiss Regiments in the Service of France 1798-1815: Uniforms, Organization, Campaigns

This is the first full-length detailed study of the uniforms, organization, personnel and campaigns of the numerous Swiss units that served in the armies of Revolutionary, Directorate, and Imperial France from the campaigns of 1798 in Switzerland until the Hundred Days of 1815.

The author covers not just the regulation uniforms but also the numerous variations recorded in contemporary documents and plates. The uniforms of the Tete de Colonne could change from issue to issue and year to year and the author has tried to cover all of these known changes. Estimates of the number of Swiss who served in the French Army from 1798-1815 vary from fifty to ninety thousand – numbers that makes the Swiss the largest non-French nationality in the Imperial Armies.

There have been many studies of these units published in France and Switzerland but this is the first full-length study to be published in England.

The Key to Lisbon: The Third French Invasion of Portugal, 1810-11

This study details the preparation, planning and execution of the invasion of Portugal in 1810 by the French Armée de Portugal under Marshal Massena, and the defensive measures taken by the British and their Portuguese and Spanish allies.

It also covers the practice of all armies involved during this campaign, working from original sources. These sources provide a different interpretation of some key aspects of the campaign to those which are generally accepted.

The work focuses on the strategic, operational, and tactical planning undertaken by both sides in preparation for the invasion, and the actual progress of the campaign. A narrative of the battles and sieges, with analysis at the tactical-level, also brings out the differences in planning and intelligence gathering. This particular campaign is important as it has attracted little attention from historians, and was crucial as a turning point in the Peninsular War.

This was the last time that Portugal was invaded by the French during the Peninsular War, and the allies’ handling of the campaign contrasted sharply with that of the French. Its success also gave Wellington political security against the ‘croakers’ back in England.

The research demonstrates the difficulties both armies had in prosecuting their plans during the campaign, and highlights the stark differences in the approach taken by each commander.

Project Update #11: Kickstarter for 10mm Demon Infantry Miniatures from Black Gate Miniatures

Thank you to each of the sixty nine backers and outline of the way forward.

"Successfully raised £6,682 with 69 backers"

Sixty nine of you believed in the 10mm Demons and so they will be brought to life.

It will take about a week for the money to be transferred from Kickstarter to my account, after that the process will be as follows.

Finish paying for the art, from Christian, for the whole Demon range, including all second phase models.

Finalise the details with Robi for the sculpting of everything included in the Kickstarter.

Wait for the sculpts to start to arrive. This will be the biggest gap in time and updates will be thin during this time. Expectation is all sculpts will be with me by the end of summer but it all depends on how quickly Robi gets to doing the sculpts.

Send out the Reward Survey to backers. You can specify what miniatures you want at this stage and any extra purchases will be settled with the PayPal invoice for the actual P&P.

Organise the provisions needed for moulding and casting.

During the Autumn, I hope to be doing the moulding and casting of all miniatures.

PayPal invoices will be sent for any extra purchases and the P&P balance. Refunds for any excess P&P charges that were included by Kickstarter will be sorted at this point. Unless you are Paul Winter :)

By the end of 2019, the packing and shipping should be completed.

So we are soon going to be entering the quite period. Rest assured that even if updates are not frequent, this will be moving on in the background.

Thanks once again for backing the project.

Demons forever!

Tank Destroyer: Achilles & M10, British Army Anti-Tank Units, Western Europe, 1944-1945

In this heavily illustrated volume in the TankCraft series Dennis Oliver focuses on the Achilles - the British variant of the American M10 - which was one of the most important Allied tank destroyers of the Second World War.

It played a key role in the armoured battles fought on the Western Front, in particular in France, the Low Countries, Germany and Italy. Built on an adapted Sherman chassis, with sloped armour, an open-topped turret and powerful 17-pounder gun, it was designed to counter the threat posed by the formidable panzers deployed by the German army towards the end of the conflict, in particular the Panther and Tiger tanks.

The book covers the design and operational history of the Achilles in close detail, using rare archive photographs and meticulously researched colour illustrations, as well as a detailed, authoritative text. A key section displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.

Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined providing everything the modeller needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic armoured fighting vehicles.

Apex from TTCombat

How about the Apex? This colossal beast is the ultimate predator, snacking on smaller creatures and even battletanks with very little care for the difference!

This massive monster is for Dropzone Commander, and you can find its (ludicrous) rules here. Now’s the time to pick up the Apex, as with Battle for Earth round the corner, it’s good practice to fight against. You’re going to need all the help you can get fighting giant enemies.

Apex

The Titania Pattern Condor is also back in the store. Only available for a brief period last year, this one has already become a firm fan favourite. With a bulkier design than the standard Condor, this one looks like it really means business!

Rearm your UCM ground forces with a new dropship to attack Earth soon!
