[QUOTE=The Blind King of Bohemia]According to the site its 1568.....
I don't complain - it is even better ~D but I thought it ends with the battle of Mohacs...

Anyone know what this is from? Its obviously McBride but its neither in the Osprey Reivers book nor the Montvert one. I found it on the BBC's website. I can only presume it was for a Museum or magazine. ~:confused:
I understand what do you mean with Angus McBride...
That plate is great!!!
Thanks BKB!! ~:cheers:
Well yeah and if you needed anymore persuading just type in his name on Google Images and check out some of his work. I posted this a few pages back - a sample piece from Sassanian Elite Cavalry, out next month. Might wanna pick that one up too!

That didn't work for me mate - which pic are we on about? The Reivers one? And what was the link?
You must download it ~;)
It is from one of balcan books - but which one ~:confused:
The albanian tribesmen leader looks well enough - to tempt me to buy it ~;)
I just went to the Osprey website.
I am prepared to spend a couple hundred dollars on these books IMMEDIATELY.
I don't know where to get them and I don't want to order online.
Oh and I live in the U.S. (Los Angeles, to be exact).
Where can I get these books???
Someone please help me........
I'm not sure of the big book stores in America. Barnes and Noble maybe? Here in England I would go to Eaterstones or Ottokars. I normally though order from the net, for me its the most convenient way.
How? You sure I don't have to be a member?Quote:

Also, Cego, the same question....[/QUOTE]
I don't have this problem - I am in Northern Ireland for now and I am ordering in a local bookshop, so I can't say much about it... ~:confused:
Maybe you can translate for me. PM sent.[/QUOTE]
Don't know Russian, sorry. Picture sent :bow:
Got the pic Cegorach. I believe its from the second Ottoman Armies one, 1775-1825 is it? I'm not sure about the date.
Heh, that's easy. With most basic russian I could tell it says something in the line of :Quote:

Good, glad you like them. Which ones did you get again, and which ones you like best? What you planning on ordering next?
Well BKB...
I have ordered Walls of Constantinople, Constantinople 1453 and Tannenberg 1410.. Can't say which I like the most, I like all of them ~D
I plan to buy Fortifications of Malta, WWII books(can't say which, I'm looking) and some from the Elite or Vanguard or Men at Arms of Warrior... Can't say which, but I have 3 priorities: Fortifications of Malta, Byzantine Armies 1168-1461 and a book about German Armies which has information about Landsnechts,Minsteriales....Hopefully my dad's gona give up in buying me these books ~D ....
Cheers! ~:cheers:
Those Military History magazines came today. They're nice, but of course I was most interested in the 4 with Angus McBride pics on the cover (Zulus, Liegnitz, Belisarius at Rome and Normans charging the Irish). I scoured them all and I was about to put them away when by luck I saw the top one had "England's biggest defeat in Ireland" as an inside article. I look inside a low and behold I struck gold with this pic that I've been looking for for ages of the Battle of Yellow Ford!

I knew it was in Military History but not these issues! Thought I'd never find it so it made my day.
Concord's El Cid also came. Pretty good but the artist is of a required taste to say the least.
Hey guyz...
I want to ask you if the following books are good:
Hattin 1187
Fortifications of Malta 1530 - 1945
Crusader Castles of the Teutonic Knights - Red Brick castles of Prussia
Knights Templar 1120-1312
Thanks! ~:cheers:
Hattin 1187 - Ok. No illustrations created ESPECIALLY for the book, but there are some from other books, including a couple by McBride. Good if you want to learn about Hattin I suppose, though don't expect great illustrations.
Fortifications of Malta 1530 - 1945 - I only got this for the Hospitaller stuff. The illustrations aren't very exciting but as long as you're not getting it solely for the Knights of St John you should find it interesting.
Crusader Castles of the Teutonic Knights - Red Brick castles of Prussia - I have the other one but this one I've ordered off Amazon and am expecting soon.
Knights Templar 1120-1312 - Disappointing to be honest. I expected a lot better from Wayne Reynolds. There's a couple of good pictures but they're hardly memorable. The info is pretty good though, so on the whole its probably worth a look.
And remember you can get KT, Hattin PLUS Saracen Faris in a special compilation book called 'God's Warriors'. You'll save a lot of money if you go that way.
God's Warriors
Thanks for the info.....
I wanted the book on Hattin to learn about the battle and also about the Fortifications of Malta....
Thanks for telling me about the Knights Templar....I thought it was quite bad.....
Right now, I plan on buying every book except the Knights Templar.....
Cheers! ~:cheers:
BKB,
I plan on buying my next set of Osprey books tommorrow, so I gotta find info before I buy...
How's God Warriors??? Text, illustrations......
Hattin, Knights Templar (Warrior) and Saracen Faris (Warrior) together in one book. Nothing else. :yes:
~Wiz
I browsed a bit through that one and it seems to me that some texts from the original books have been trimmed. Can't be sure as my attention was rather absorbed by that "Samurai Commanders" one ;-)
Hey guyz....
How's Byzantine Armies 1168-1461??? I really need this book for the Byzantium Total War mod, but a 48 page doesn't attract me.... Too little info in 48 pages!!!
So, is it worth buying?!
