Hmm, when I was looking at the Tonkin range I did not see anything like Black Flag artillery or crew? I did read your announcement on the 14th here as far as I can see it's not on the website.

It's OK though, I ordered plenty of figs already from this range  :)

Ahhh, I see it now. I didn't check the long list but went to the inside list and it wasnt there. Dang! I would have ordered a set.

Thanks I'll look forward to that.
By the way if you are going to chuck it after Salute, please chuck it my way.
I am hoping to do French Indo-China using the Empress Miniature figures.

High Ged
This is Philippe... remember me?
Well I have a book that could be an interesting source for you.
Edited by Lavauzelle, you may know that prestigious military history french editor, at the very end of nineteenth century:
by Le Commandant breveté Chabrol du 161e régiment d'infanterie
Opérations militaires au Tonkin
parts include history of the operations between 1885 and 1895, more than 50 very detailed descriptions of "affaires" (skirmishes to battles, some with maps) and finaly an in-depth analysis of the best tactics that should be used (as it is adressed to the Etat Major).
My Jewell of Indo-China!
Cheers
Philippe

Philippe il s’agit d un livre exceptionnel !!!
But the other good news is that you can find and download it free on line thanks to that great archive that is Gallica!..just write the title on the search motor..by the way I posted the very link of that book on a tread just before the beginning of Gringo Tonkin’line..the maps and the detailed battle orders ,many involving just a few troops, are , in practice, some ready made wargame skirmish scenarios...
Thanks to remember us that source Philippe👍🏻

Oh I didn't notice! Poor me I kind of slammed an open door!
It's great to  find such an erudite company! I'll be more humble and read carefully now.  lol

Pallard many thanks indeed for the input....I have managed to obtain some
quite rare books on Tonkin and am slowly working on them...the book you mention would be a great addition..As Italwars quite rightly says you can download for free...I like to get an orginal and download..best of both worlds
thanks Men!! :D
