Re: When did the Polish discard their axes?

Michał Paradowski ( http://kadrinazi.blogspot.com ) says that the exact date is hard to find, because first official document not mentioning axes was issued in 1717. Some Polish historians assume that axes were gradually discarded with adoption of flintlocks. Personally, I wouldn't give axes to Poli...

Re: Battle of Staffarda

Thak you El Cid.
I must admit than I'm pretty new to LoA in northern Italy, and I found this small battle very interesting.
Where can I find any map for it ?

Re: OOB for French Forces at Landen/Neerwinden?

Thank you guys for very informative discussion ! BWT. Maybe one of you could write something about this battle (as well as Steenkirk and Fleurus) ? I would happily spend some bucks for good book or e-book about LoA battles... Maybe you, Mr Schorr ... ? BTW Dan Schorr web articles were cited in Polis...
