Davis, Edward. 392p New Hardback. A comprehensive biography of the Military & Political life of of this much criticised Parliamentarian General. Davis reconstructs Montagu’s journey through personal rule, the Long Parliament, and the early Civil War campaigns, culminating in the ideological rupture that followed Marston Moor.

Perry Miniatures - SKM1 SKIRMISH IN A BOX Napoleonic French and Spanish
The box contains 65 figures comprising of two opposing skirmish forces for the Peninsular War (1807-14). Spanish guerrillas and regular infantry as well as French Line infantry (mostly Elite companies) make up the set. The sides are roughly even, (38 Spanish and 27 French) but this is also a ‘kit bash’ box, so you can vary the ratio by mixing and matching the parts from both sides to create other units including those from the Confederation of the Rhine, French Gendarmerie and Spanish Volunteer units. Included in the set are three painting guides for French, Spanish and Confederation of the Rhine troops as well as a guide for ‘kit bashing’ them. Rules not included. £37.50

Using original archive material from over 1,000 boxes in Paris, Dawson challenges long-standing myths about French military dress—revealing what soldiers really wore, not just what regulations prescribed. Lavishly illustrated with over 200 color images, this visually rich volume redefines the look of Napoleonic warfare £25.00
VICKERS TANKS IN POLAND
Large format pbk 140p. This book is about the Vickers E tank and its importance in the development of Polish armored vehicles. While only 38 of these tanks were bought in 1932, which was enough for two companies, the purchase was crucial because it gave the Polish Army a modern tank to test. Even more important than buying the tanks was acquiring the license to produce them. The knowledge gained from operating the Vickers E tanks helped with the design of the more advanced Polish 7TP tanks and C7P artillery tractors. The book features nearly 200 illustrations, including historical photographs and detailed color profiles of the Polish "Vickers" tanks. £28.50
