Schiffer Publications book on Chinese Warlord Armies

Has anyone seen this? Apparently it was published last year same author as the Osprey with similar title- but much more expensive- I have a couple of Schiffer titles on WW1 and they are very comprehensive.

I clicked your link thinking that sounds like a purchase but £50 is far too rich for me :'(

The pre-order is cheaper from Naval & Military Press if you make the pre-order during their 20% off everything Winter Sale: http://www.naval-military-press.com/armies-of-warlord-china-1911-1928_pre-order.html

I'm tempted, but trying to trim the gaming budget in advance of a long vacation later this year!

Not N&M staff, just a satisfied customer - they've got all sorts of good stuff.

As have I. Although the last Osprey book on the subject is good, the format doesn't lend itself to anything more than a cursory look at this vast subject.  Really looking forward to getting my mitts on this one!

This should be good! Schiffer is top-notch quality at a premium price.

I'd really like to order this book but I'm a little scared that it will drag me into another period!!  o_o

It should be a damn interesting read though, so maybe, just maybe I should(?).

Just arrived, I know what I'll be reading tonight, if I'm not too absorbed looking at all the pictures :)

Book looks very interesting but is it my imagination or is the front cover photograph printed back to front?  That or there is a whole unit of left handed firers.  ???

It took along time to recruit the left handed regiment.......I did not notice the book is so great ,I blew past the front cover,I am sure it's just printing error.
