Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

Officers,

Could someone recommend a good read on the Quatre Bras encounter?

Thanks!

For me its "1815 The Waterloo campaign" (Peter Hofschröer).
and of course (Chandlers) Campaigns of Napoleon

Chandler, of course, as well as Waterloo, New Perspectives by David Hamilton-Williams.

I agree with Mark I think that new perspectives title is the closest to a true operational understanding of what really occurred.

Thank you kind sirs for your input!

Two more questions:

1. Is $35.00 USA a good price for The Campaigns of Napoleon (Hardcover) ?

2. Please provide info on Armies of the Napoleonic Wars: An Illustrated History (General Military) by Chris McNab

Thanks again!

$35 is a steal if it is in even decent condition (meaning it can be read and will not make your book shelf smell of mold)

No, wait...

I know that can't be it.

I read the Ligny and Quatre Bras book by Peter Hofschröer a few months back and I thought it was excellent

$35??!!!!! Buy it. Buy it now.


And the Hofschroer book is a good one as well.

Any thoughts on Armies of the Napoleonic Wars: An Illustrated History (General Military) by Chris McNab

I got mine used and it has seen better days. Where did you get yours, Scott? Would love a nicer copy in decent condition.

Dale,

from here: http://www.alibris.com

I just checked and the have the "other" one called: The Campaigns of Napoleon: the Mind and Method of History's Greatest Soldier.

I check here from time to time. They always have good deals.

Well I am now about to make some of you either mad or something else,

This week I received the Campaigns of Napoleon that I thought I ordered for $35.00. When I received the book, it was in very good condition with just a touch of yellowing on the pages. The foldout was in perfect condition and I could tell it was a College library book that must have been weeded out. It was a 1st edition (1966 printing) and according to the old stamp checkout system, it was only checked out a total of 5 times.

I was amazed. The surprise came when I looked at the invoice. It read: Dear Mr Clawson, we could not sell you this copy at the listed price because we felt that it was not as good as we had described. We therefor dropped the price to $20.00. Your card will reflect the adjusted cost. Thank you for your business.

With shipping, total cost: $23.99

I can only say how lucky I am.....................
