Morning fellow gamers,

I picked this new book up yesterday and was suitably impressed enough to put a quick review together.

Not heard of Helion before, this book reminds me of the Osprey Campaign series. 128 pages with colour plates in the middle.

A mini Yarkshire TV special on the book is available via the YouTube link on the blog post.

Wish the book was out a year ago before I started my army !

I ordered it yesterday.  I've nearly always been impressed by Helion's offerings.  Good to see and hear the review.

I'm hoping for inspiration for my French infantry.

Thanks for posting, reckon Italian Wars in 18mm is going to my new 15/18mm project for 2020 so had my eye on when this book would be available.

I'm a fan of Helion too, lots of good books, and many just because the subject is interesting not necessarily for wargames purposes. Their volume on Napoleon's Army of the Orient is superb.

Not my period but an interesting review, I love Helion, they have some great stuff on their site.

Might have to get this book

Frostie, I don't know if this is any use to you but Venexia Italian Wars figures are currently part of the Lancashire Games Sale. Lovely figures for anyone starting an Italian Wars collection.  They fit well enough with OG and Blue Moon.
