The set depicts the Chasseurs a Cheval in the striking full dress uniform. The detail of the lace work and Pelisse is superb and will take the paint and washes easily. Even though Guidons were not carried often in the field, included is a flag pole arm and some extra flag poles for those who wish to use them on other French Dragoons and Polish lancers sets.1 vol, 12 pgs 2023 UK, VICTRIX

1-235741 Brennan, Patrick and Dylan Brennan GETTYSBURG IN COLOR: Volume 1: Brandy Station to the Peach Orchard This two-volume study uses an artificial intelligence-based computerized color identifier to determine the precise color of uniforms, flesh, hair, equipment, terrain, houses, and much more. The result is a monumental full-color study of the important ACW three-day battle that brings the men, the landscape, and the action into the 21st century. The deep colorization of battle-related woodcuts, for example, reveals a plethora of details that have passed generations of eyes unseen. The photos of the soldiers and their officers look as if they were taken yesterday. Volume 1 covers Brandy Station to the Peach Orchard, and Volume 2 will cover The Wheatfield to Falling Waters.

The use of this modern technology shines a light on one Gettysburg photographic mystery in particular. Colorizing some of the battle's death images revealed the presence of Union and Confederate dead that may help determine the previously unknown location of the photographs. 1 vol, 224 pgs 2023 US, SAVAS BEATIE

1-235750 Thorp, Gene THE TALE UNTWISTED: General George B. McClellan, the Maryland Campaign, and the Discovery of Lee's Lost Orders The discovery of Robert E. Lee's Special Orders No. 191 outside of Frederick, Maryland, on September 13, 1862, is one of the most important and hotly disputed events of the American Civil War. For more than 150 years, historians have debated if George McClellan, commander of the Union Army of the Potomac, dawdled after receiving a copy of the orders before warily advancing to challenge Lee's forces atop South Mountain.

Explains in exhaustive fashion how McClellan in fact moved with uncharacteristic energy to counter the Confederate threat and take advantage of Lee's divided forces, seizing the initiative and striking a blow in the process that wrecked Lee's plans and sent his army reeling back toward Virginia.1 vol, 192 pgs 2023 US, SAVAS BEATIE

1-235760 Smithson, Jim A TASTE OF SUCCESS: The First Battle Of The Scarpe. The Opening Phase Of The Battle Of Arras, 9-14 April 1917 Hardback version.

Covers the Battle of Arras, sometimes called 'The Forgotten Battle,' that was wedged between the Battles of the Somme and Passchendaele. Shows us how infantry tactics had improved and how the use of artillery had become a fine art in supporting the men as they attacked; how a preliminary artillery bombardment left the German defenders shattered, but also created the conditions that would hinder any kind of rapid movement once the first lines were broken. The key role of the Royal Flying Corps, how tanks were used and the vital role of support units such as the Royal Engineers are all examined in detail. Includes 16 pages color illustrations and maps, 35 b/w photos, 43 b/w maps, and three tables.

As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the initial success - based upon excellent planning and training - was followed by a chaotic confusion of command and control. It soon becomes evident that the development of the British Army in April 1917 had reached a point where in the Battle of Arras, they could stage a successful assault - applying perfect planning, but lacking the forethought to plan and carry out the follow-up phases. 1 vol, 312 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-235770 Starley, John THE RAF's CROSS-CHANNEL OFFENSIVE: Circuses, Ramrods, Rhubarbs and Rodeos 1941-1942 In November 1940, Marshal of the Royal Air Force Hugh Montague Trenchard showed up again at the Air Ministry and proposed that the RAF should 'Lean Towards France' - that it should go on the offensive. The RAF would, claimed Trenchard, win the resulting battle of attrition.

One of the main outcomes of the RAF's new offensive stance was the introduction of the Circus sorties. These were attacks undertaken by a small force of bombers with a powerful fighter escort. They were intended to lure enemy fighters into the air so that they could be engaged by RAF fighters, the primary objective being the destruction of Luftwaffe fighters, followed by the protection of the bombers from attack.

Further developments of the Circus missions were Ramrods, Rhubarbs, and Rodeos, all of which were variations on the same theme. A Ramrod was similar to a Circus, though in this instance the primary objective was the destruction of the target, the main role of the accompanying fighters being to protect the bombers from attack. A Rhubarb was a small-scale attack by fighters using cloud cover and/or surprise, the object of which was to destroy German aircraft in the air and/or striking at ground targets, while a Rodeo consisted of a fighter sweep over enemy territory with no bombers.1 vol, 280 pgs 2023 UK, AIR WORLD
