Late 17thC Infantry, Artillery
« on: April 28, 2023, 08:18:14 PM »
Does anyone know of infantry manuals, in English, of the late 17thC - 1670s to 1700? Instructions for marching, stuff like that?

Anyone know of books dealing with artillery from that same period - types of gun, calibres, etc?

Any sources for plan drawings of artillery pieces? Schematic?

I want to do some sculpting, and I need sources. I have the usual Ospreys etc, but I can't find anything for the abovementioned.

Thanks for reading.
