they say
LaSW brought us the awesome Daschunds and Bulldogs recently and this time they go even further back to 1707 and the epic Battle of Almansa. Fought between the Franco-Spanish and allied forces of Portugal, England and many other smaller nations. It is said it is the only time in history that "English forces have been under French command and the French, under English Command".
This excellent participation game is a great way to try out historical war gaming and banish those preconceptions. The LaSW group are friendly, warm and have a wealth of knowledge between them.
Briefing starts 0930 and is completely free!

Writing for the period
Century of the Soldier
‘This is the Century of the Soldier’, Falvio Testir, Poet, 1641
The ‘Century of the Soldier’ series will cover the period of military history c. 1618–1721, the ‘golden era’ of Pike and Shot warfare. This time frame has been seen by many historians as a period of not only great social change, but of fundamental developments within military matters. This is the period of the ‘military revolution’, the development of standing armies, the widespread introduction of black powder weapons and a greater professionalism within the culture of military personnel. The series will examine the period in a greater degree of detail than has hitherto been attempted, and has a very wide brief, with the intention of covering all aspects of the period from the battles, campaigns, logistics and tactics, to the personalities, armies, uniforms and equipment.
Submissions
The publishers would be pleased to receive submissions for this series. Please contact series editor Charles Singleton via email (charlesjsingleton@yahoo.co.uk), or in writing to Helion & Company Limited, 26 Willow Road, Solihull, West Midlands, B91 1UE. webpage
