Knotel and C. Rochling) and very interesting to me - Diez of Vienna 30mm plastic artillery and wagons, including fieldsmith wagon, 1 powder wagon and Gribeauval artillery. 12lb and 8lb cannons and 7lb Howitzer, with the appropriate trail carriages. Prices are in DM. The smallest amount of order is 30DM and an order form is included in the catalogs. Check these out!

Helion and Company

1. Antiquity - 1700AD Military History Book Catalog. 47 pages of books! Casting a very wide net over European countries, Russia, The Ottoman Empire - there's even a section on Wales! Cymu am Byth! Naval warfare, Scottish history, Irish history, 30 Years War, Hundred years War, Warfare in the Ancient and Early Medieval World. Well worth a browse. Prices look very reasonable too.

2. Military History 1700 - 1914 Book Catalog. Another eighty two pages of books. Some sets of books offered are quite costly, others are for OAPs like me. Sample pages, I presume photocopied, are offered to help those who can afford the most expensive. A very helpful and reasonable thing to do I think. Credit Cards are now accepted by this company viz Mastercard, Visa, Switch, Solo, Visa Delta and JCB. Soon orders can be accepted by email - details coming. Sections: 1. General and Miscellaneous, 2. Warfare in the 18th century, 3. French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, 4. Continental Wars 1815-1914, 5. Colonial Warfare, 6. ACW and Old West, 7. War at Sea 1700 - 1914. Check these lists out.
