New Austrian army book

Available mid August - Dr Stephen writes on my SYW forum.

First draft of the cover of my new book. It should be available in August. This is completely revised book with doubling the number of illustrations. The uniforms in 1757, 1760 and 1762 are shown for each regiment showing the transition over the Seven Years War.
Certainly gives a more interesting appearance to the Austrian Army.
