I AGREE WITH ALL POINTS MADE HERE AND DID ENJOY LOOKING AT THE PICTURES. IT DOES MAKE ME WANT TO GO OUT AND BUY A FEW MORE OF THEIR BOOKS
AS THE TOPIC BASICALLY DEALS WITH THE OSPREY SERIES AS REFRENCE HOW MANY BOOKS HAVE THEY PUT OUT? I AM NOT SURE WHEN THEY PUBLISHED THEIR FIRST BOOK IN THEIR MANY SERIES WAS IT IN THE 1970'S PERHAPS THERE IS A LIST OF ALL THEIR TOPICS ,IF SO A LINK COULD BE INCLUDED HERE SO ANYONE INTERESTED COULD LOOK TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE COVERED OVER THE YEARS. THE PICTURES IN THIS POST DO SHOW THE QUALITY OF THE BOOKS BUT ONLY A SMALL PART OF THE CONTENT SO I DOUBT THAT OSPREY WOULD RESENT THE FREE ADVERTIZEMENT. THE POST MAY ALSO MAKE SOME AWARE OF THE SERIES THAT DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. SO I WOULD SAY THE POST IS WORTHWHILE AND NOT JUST EYE CANDY, BUT AS MENTIONED WE CAN'T POST ALL OF OUR FAVORITE INFORMATION AND PICTURES HERE AS IT WOULD SWAMP THE BOAT. |

ARMA (The Assn. for Renaissance Martial Arts) has a list of relevant of Osprey titles -- Arthur & Anglo-Saxon Wars The Age of Charlemagne French Medieval Armies 1000-1300 Armies of the Crusades Knights of Christ Medieval European Armies Scots & Welsh Wars The Swiss 1300-1500 German Armies 1300-1500 Italian Armies 1300-1500 Venetian Empire 1200-1670 Armies of Crecy’ & Poitiers Medieval Burgundy 1364-1477 Armies of Agincourt Wars of the Roses The Irish Wars 1485-1603 Henry the VIII’s Army The Landesknecths The Conquistadors English Civil War Armies Louis XIV’s Army The Border Reivers But I think it's best that one goes to Osprey's own website. In there one can easily browse the available titles, per the following links -- Ancient World Eastern Warfare Medieval World 16th Century 17th Century 18th Century Napoleonic 19th Century American Civil War World War 1 World War 2 Vietnam War Modern Warfare Aviation Naval |
