Napoleon's Red Lancers (Men-at-Arms, 389) Paperback – April 20, 2003

A great help in getting the uniform colors right for the time period.

This is an excellent book for figure modelers, The color plates are a great resource. The text is straightforward.

Excellent reference for the model builder.

informative

This is the whole essence of Osprey MAA books. The text and art captures perfectly an excellent summary of an illustrous unit. There are two errors (in plates B and D respectively) in the depiction of the czapska being worn square on the head with the plume in front, whereas the usual and correct depiction is that the czapska was worn at an angle with the plume over the left eyebrow.Nevertheless, any collaboration between Ronald Pawly and Patrice Courcelle on the Napoleonic era is worth buying.

Osprey must have a small army of artists, writers, researchers and some of those wizards that somehow cobble these great books together. I have yet to purchase one that I didn't enjoy over the decades.
