I have been reading a great deal about the Napoleonic Era lately.
Great. Hope you found some good books. I have not read much about it in a long time.
I was interested in the uniforms and such a little bit. Then "War and Peace" came out in the local theater---hmmm about 1970. I took a buddy with me to see it who could help ID the uniforms and tell me who was on whose side. We went one night to view Part 1 --- 3-1/2 hours and then went back the next night for Part 2---3-1/2 hours. That movie really stirred my interest.
I began painting 54mm figures and collecting books on their uniforms. But I never really studied all the battles in great detail as I should have.
