It seems no sooner do I finish one review of an Osprey Men-at-Arms book than here comes two more. Wargamers should be thankful that a company continues to publish these fine books. Number 167 is devoted toThe Brunswick Troops, 1809-15. Written by Otto Von Pivka, illustrated by Bryan Fosten, it will tell you everything you want to know about the'Black Brunswickers'. Their history, organization, and uniforms are all covered. It is particularly nice to report that the eight pages of color prints illustrate 'useful' uniforms. Too often, in my view, Osprey's plates cover exotic uniforms rather than those used by the common soldiers. it's hard to paint up an entire army of musicians, standard bearers, aide-de-camps, and stretcher bearers. The Brunswickers shown are those who figured most prominently in the actual combats; line troops, jagers, hussars, sharp­shooters, and (with the exception of artillerymen) all the different types who fought at Waterloo. Some nice line drawings display the handsome Brunswick flags. If you have a Brunswick contingent in your army or arethinking of buying one, this book will show you how to paint them. $7.95 at better hobby shops everywhere.
