 "Zis

and uzzer sites of interest. Ze Latest links appear at ze top of ze
list."
- Age of
Reason - a fantastic 18th century reenacting site, featuring
photos, artwork and articles about French, British, Prussian and
other armies of the period. Very useful for wargamers, even if
you're not into reenacting yourself.
[Added 2 July 2004]
- Capitulation
- a brand new range of 28mm eighteenth-century figures made
by a French company. These are designed to be more "anatomically
correct" than most other manufacturers, and also strive for
superb accuracy. You can read a review
of this range here.
[Added 2 July 2004]
- Les
Sujets du Bien Aimé - a French site belonging to a reenactment
group that portrays units of the the 18th century French army.
[Added 25 March 2004]
- French
Uniforms 1734-57 - this site is the best thing since sliced
croissants for we Francophiles! Geoff Nurcombe has reproduced
the full set of uniform plates by Mouillard, giving uniform details
and flags of every French cavalry and infantry unit of the period.
A "must see" website!
[Added 12 July 2002]
- Tricorne
- a new site featuring the magnificently painted 18th century
armies of Eric Veitl from Paris. His handpainted flags are truly
exquisite. I'm personally quite proud of Tricorne, as I was the
site designer! The site is in both French and English.
[Added 13 June 2002]
- Valeur
et Discipline - my latest project is a Napoleonic French army
in 25mm. On my Valeur et Dsicipline website you can see photos
of the units as they are completed, and read all about them.
[Added 13 June 2002]
- My
Confederation of the Rhine Website - this site features my
next painting project, which is set in the Napoleonic era. Similar
in layout to this site, you should feel quite at home!
[Added 15 September 2001]
- Spanner
and Yank's Wargames Review - this is where you go to look
for reviews of miniature soldiers (and much, much more!). This
site is absolutely jam-packed with information and pictures. A
definite "must" to visit!
[Added 15 September 2001]
- Par Toutatis!
- this has to be one of the nicest looking wargames sites I've
ever seen. It is a French-language site (English version under
construction), and features some stunning photos of miniatures,
mainly (but not entirely) from the ancient period. A site worth
visiting, just to look at the mouth-watering pictures alone! Even
their club logo is beautifully crafted.
[Added 8 July 2001]
- Czapska.Com
Miniatures - Mike Siggins is a columnist for Wargames Illustrated
magazine. This is his site, where you'll find the past six years
of his informative and entertaining Wargamers Notebook
column, as well as amazing pictures of miniatures (both his own
and those of some of the foremost painters in the UK).
[Added 8 July 2001]
- Wellington
Warlords - I haven't been a member of an official wargaming
club for over twenty years (!), but I think I'll soon be joining
this one, as so many of my gaming friends are members. There is
plenty of interesting material here on their brand new site. It
is pleasing to see that "horse and musket' is making a big come-back
in the club.
[Added 13 March 2001]
- Bavarian
Cavalry Uniforms - I know it is not exactly on the topic of
the French army, but I recently put together a website featuring
a set of wonderful postcards depicting the history of the Bavarian
2nd Chevauxleger Regiment Taxis.
[Added 22 January 2001]
- Alan
Hollows' Wargames Page - I have known fellow New Zealander
Alan as a wargamer for well over twenty years. This site has some
really terrific pictures of his incredibly well-painted armies,
including a shot of a very colourful Swiss regiment in French
service.
[Added 13 November 2000]
- The
French at War - a fellow Francophile, Mark McLaughlin, has
written a very entertaining history of the French army of this
period. A great site for those who want to know more about the
real-life background of my miniature army.
[Added 13 November 2000]
- Regiment
de La Sarre 2nd Battalion 1756 - 1760 - this is the website
of a group that reenacts the Regiment de la Sarre (which is one
of the units in my miniature army). The site includes some very
good information on French uniforms, history and even military
music.
[Added 13 November 2000]
- The
Society of the Irish Brigade - my army includes a regiment
of the famous Wild Geese (Irish exiles in the service of France).
You can learn more about the history of the doughty Irish soldiers
at this site. I'm told there are one or two few historical errors,
however, so use this site cautiously.
[Added 13 November 2000]
- Warflag
- if you want to download and print flags for wargames armies,
this is the site for you. All sorts of periods are represented
in this amazing range. I have used some of the coloured cloth
textures also available from this site for enhancing the flags
you can see on my regiments.
[Added 13 November 2000]
- Nec
Pluribus Impar - a fantastic site of information on various
eighteenth century armies, especially that of France. This site
is mainly in French, but don't let that put you off because, even
if you don't speak French, there are plenty of great illustrations!
- Le
Cimier Postcards of French Uniforms - these postcards, painted
by the French Army's official artist, feature a lot of eighteenth
century uniforms. They are available for sale, but are also all
pictured on this website.
- Front
Rank Miniatures - all my models are by this British company.
Unfortunately they don't feature images of their whole range on
this site, but there are still plenty enough to whet your appetite!
- The
Bavarian Army at Leuthen - before starting to collect a French
army, I was originally interested in starting a Bavarian army,
so put together this little website. It is mainly based round
a postcard of a massive diorama of the Battle of Leuthen in 1757.
- Lace
Wars - this is an e-Group, or message board, where people
from all over the world who are interested in eighteenth century
warfare gather to share information.
- Friday
Night Fusiliers - also an e-Group, but on a much smaller scale
than Lace Wars, this site is a communication channel for the small
informal group of wargamers I belong to here in Paraparaumu, New
Zealand.
- Roly's
Gettysburg Website - a bit out of period, but this is another
of my sites, this time featuring my participation in a huge reenactment
of the Battle of Gettysburg, involving over 23,000 uniformed reenactors.
