My pleasure. The "Soldiers and Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars" has the most pretty pictures, but it covers only the French. The others are mostly computer-generated uniform plates, but had more than enough eye candy to satisfy me.

As a Francophone you may find it worth your while to track down an original French language edition of whichever one you spring for. The translation from French to Franglais is the weakest point of this series IMO.

"This Quar's War", by Zombiesmith Games. A beautiful book, with high production values, lovely background concept, etc... a real winner for me! I think the game will play beautifully, but the pictures, stories, and letters from the front alone were worth the purchase. I can only hope my own rule writing will come close to being this evocative.

I titally agree the "Osprey" feel to it combined with letters form the front make the book a real corker
