This review is from: Imperial Bayonets: Tactics of the Napoleonic Battery, Battalion and Brigade as Found in Contemporary Regulations (Hardcover)

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reference work,
This review is from: Imperial Bayonets: Tactics of the Napoleonic Battery, Battalion and Brigade as Found in Contemporary Regulations (Hardcover)
A technical manual, rather than an historical work. If you want to know exactly how units manoeuvred, or the figures for artillery performance, nation by nation, this is the book for you. The writing style is a little heavy, but that is to be expected.

Nafziger sets the story straight on Napoleonic manuvering.,
By pl@semco.dk - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Imperial Bayonets: Tactics of the Napoleonic Battery, Battalion and Brigade as Found in Contemporary Regulations (Hardcover)
I thought I knew how units in the Napoleonic era manuvered and operated. I thought that wargames (boardgames) did a correct job on representing reality. Well, I was wrong. If you are interested in how units really manuvered and reacted then Nafzigers book 'Imperial Bayonet' is THE BOOK par excellence. French, Austrian, Prussian, Russian, British, Infantry, Cavalery, Artillery, Skimishers, Rallying points, unit control, you name it. They all get analyzed. There are even illustrations right down to company organisation: where the sergents stands, where the officers and NCOs are, the drummers and last but not least the normal soldiers of the rank and file. Even the space alotted to each soldier is revealed! Read it, just read it. Then go back and throw out you old Napoleonic wargames and hope future wargame designers read 'Imperial Bayonets' and think again. Brilliant, Nafziger, Brilliant!
