Quote:"Ancient Armies" by Tim Newark & Angus McBride for 8.79 pounds in used books (also by Concord Publications).(by the way, I am not either very big fan of McBride`s,`they are too much "fantasy-like" characters, like "Gimli in roman arms" :wink:Yes, I can recommend that one!
Oh, I am a fan of McBride, or at least I was. His older stuff is just absolutely great - he paints where others draw. Sure, if you have seen much of his work (I have), some plates look very much alike. Also, he's never been able to do a good Late Roman cross-bow fibula :? wink: I still regret he did no better job on the one about Alexander!
My absolute favorites are then of course older books (almost all Osprey):
Arthur and the Anglo-Saxon Wars (MAA 154-1984), maybe the nr 1..
Rome's Enemies 5-Gallic and British Celts (MAA 158-1985), runner up..
The Vikings (Elite 3-1985)
Rome's Enemies 4-Spanish Armies (MAA 180-1986)
The ancient Greeks (Elite 7-1986)
The Normans (Elite 9-1987)
The samurai (Elite 23-1989)
Soldiers of the English Civil War 1 (Elite 25-1989)
Soldiers of the English Civil War 2 (Elite 27-1990)
New Kingdom Egypt (Elite 40-1992)
Imperial Rome at war (Concord-1997)
