Book excerpt: * If you are interested in painting, collecting or war-gaming with model soldiers, or interested in the Napoleonic era any way, then this book is for you; it has many articles that set the scene and mood for ensuing battles by detailing the historical background and build up to the many Napoleonic wars and campaigns that took place. * For the miniature painters and collectors Matthew Fletcher has written a section showing how to speed paint an army that any wargamer would be proud of, and Kevin Dallimore reveals his secret of painting outstanding Napoleonic models using his world renowned three color method. * For the gamer, Matthew Fletcher has created a truly unique set of rules that are simple to understand and play; rules that will provide an evening of fun and entertainment for all. * In short, this book contains everything you will need to enjoy yourself painting and collecting miniatures and gaming in the Napoleonic era. I first met Matt Fletcher when he was employed by a well known fantasy games company based in Nottingham; he was an 18 year old, wide eyed, fresh faced teenager looking like he had found Aladdin's Cave as he scanned all of the models, games and books stacked on the warehouse shelves. Two of Matt's childhood dreams had been realised; he was not only involved in a rapidly growing company making and selling the products he loved, he was also heavily involved with the team responsible for the play testing and development of games and the writing of books. Everyone was impressed by Matt's energy, enthusiasm and knowledge; he had a great knowledge of all things fantasy and, as I was later to find out, an even greater knowledge of all things historical. Matt soon realised that these new experiences might lead to the fulfillment of yet another childhood dream; to write a book that combined his extensive historical knowledge of all things Napoleonic with the new experiences gained in the creation and development of books, games and game mechanics. Little did he realise how much time it would take for this dream to be fulfilled. Eighteen years have since passed and I think Matt has been very surprised (and sometimes frustrated) with the length of time that it has taken to produce the book that you now hold; not only for the time it has taken him to produce and structure a script suitable for submission, but also for the time it has taken for his script to be edited and augmented to reach the high standard expected from any Foundry publication. If you are interested in painting, collecting or wargaming with toy soldiers, or interested in the Napoleonic era any way, then this book is for you; it has many articles that set the scene and mood for ensuing battles by detailing the historical background and build up to the many Napoleonic wars and campaigns that took place. For the miniature painters and collectors, Kevin Dallimore has added his own article on painting Napoleonic models using his unique and world renowned three color method. For the wargamer, Matt has created a truly unique set of rules that have been amended and developed many times over the years to provide an evening of fun and entertainment; he has also written his own article on how to speed paint an army to a standard that any wargamer would be proud of. Matt is very proud of this book and wants everyone who reads it to experience the great fun and pleasure he gets from painting and playing games with toy soldiers. For Matt, the book you now hold is another dream come true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative reference guide to building wargaming campaigns, featuring a full set of campaign rules, tips on creating maps, and more. Most miniature wargames take the form of simulating a single battle with the opponents either winning or losing and that’s that until the next game. Such games can be a fun test of tactical skill, but it can be even more rewarding if they form part of a wider campaign. In a campaign, the players commanding the forces have to make the decisions at the strategic level that determine the context of any battles that occur. The outcome of these battles will, in turn, have strategic consequences for the ongoing campaign. Although campaigns can be very rewarding, many wargamers are deterred by the need to produce maps and devise mechanisms for strategic movement, Intelligence, logistics, recruiting reinforcements, keeping track of casualties etc. Henry Hyde’s excellent book greatly eases this task with masses of sound advice, concrete suggestions and even a full set of campaign rules useful for any period. Whatever historical or fantasy setting you prefer, Henry shows that even simple campaigns can add extra fun to your gaming. Praise for Wargaming Campaigns “This big, thick tome contains everything you’d ever want to know about creating and running a wargame campaign.” —Historical Miniatures Gaming Society

The general plan of the French Directory in 1796 was for Moreau and Jourdan with 180,000 men in Germany to drive back the Archduke Charles from the Rhine, and march on Vienna; Kellermann, stationed on the Western Alps, was to hold the Duke of Aosta who, with headquarters at Turin, commanded an army at the foot of those mountains; and the Army of Italy, which held the Apennines and the country between them and the sea, was to conquer Lombardy. In February 1796 General Scherer, in resigning command of the Army of Italy, wrote to the Directory: Napoleon "I conjure you, I beg you to send a general Bonaparte who has more resources and ability than I have, appointed to for I declare that I am incapable of charging Command mySeIf, in these circumstances, with the burthen of command." In pursuance of the plan of the French Government, Napoleon Bonaparte was appointed to command the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1794 the French 'Army of Italy' was commanded by General Dumerbion and he acknowledged a great debt to his 25-year-old commander of artillery – Napoleon Bonaparte. The French Revolution had resulted in major changes in the military system, conscription created a national army and new tactics and initiatives allowed an officer of such promise as Napoleon to rise quickly through the ranks. By 1796 he was the general commanding the French in Italy and at the conclusion of fourteen months campaigning he was the decisive military personality of his age. Philip Haythornthwaite examines Napoleon's campaigns in Italy, and the uniforms of his soldiers are illustrated in eight colour plates by Richard Hook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final volume of a major work on warfare in the Napoleonic age The author of this substantial multi-volume history, Theodore A Dodge, was not only an historian of stature and note but also a soldier. He wrote several well regarded histories of the campaigns and battles of the Civil War and other works of military history. Perhaps his most outstanding achievement was a series of books, published under the umbrella title 'the Art of War, ' focusing on different historical periods as typified by their most notable military commanders-including the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal and Caesar in the ancient world and the wars of the 17th and 18th century as fought by great captains including Gustavus Adolphus, Frederick and Marlborough. This volume is part of his in depth study of the Napoleonic period, which in its entirety was comprised of four huge volumes that benefited from the inclusion of almost 800 small scale uniform drawings, portraits of notable personalities and numerous theatre, campaign and battlefield maps. This retitled Leonaur edition has been revised to form volumes of approximately equal size reformatted to enable us to enlarge all the illustrations and maps for the benefit of the reader. This series is an excellent history of the campaigns and battles of the Napoleonic Age but it goes far beyond the historical record. Dodge critically examines the strategies and tactics of all the military commanders in such a clear and authoritative manner that the student of military history can clearly understand the errors of those about to suffer defeat and the expertise-or in the case of Napoleon Bonaparte, the military genius-of the victors. This is an invaluable guide to warfare in the age of Napoleon and is highly recommended. This final volume of Dodge's brilliant account of the 'art of war' in the Napoleonic Age concludes with the period to the end of the First Empire when the fortunes of the imperial allies turned in their favour and Napoleon and his forces, weakened by reverses, were unable to contain them. Napoleon's brilliance in the campaigns of 1814 showed that he was still an incomparable grand commander on the field of battle, especially in engagements when the odds were against him. The war had turned to one of attrition so the Empire fell, the emperor abdicated, the Bourbon monarchy was restored and Europe breathed a collective sigh of relief. But it was not quite the end-Napoleon's last great gamble for a return to power, 'The Hundred Days' and the Campaign of 1815 culminating in the great battle of Waterloo on June 18th 1815, brought the most significant commanders of both sides to a field of conflict for the first and last time. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
