Freedom , Paint and Beer. That sounds like heretical dogma to me! :evil: Beer, paint and freedom is the only true path! :lol: (Your mentiion of rafters collapsing reminded me of when we moved into our present house; my wife was greatly impressed at the industry with which I boarded out the loft and...

Just looked on Amazon and befor I shell out 40quid can anyone advise home much detail the backs of the uniforms are given? Cheers Adam Not much. I am pretty sure the Caliver books are a reprint of the WRG Grant book with additional illustrations. Osprey Men-at-Arms MAA203 Louis XIV's Army has diagr...
