Just a quick update to remind you I still care

I went through a bunch of corrections on all the city names we list in the book.  Many of them are listed as they were in the old Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.  Of course today, those cities, towns and villages are split between four different countries - so of which have renamed them.  The long and the short of it is I double checked the spelling, tracked down the name today and will make a gazetteer available on-line  if you want to track them down.

Mike Ramalho at Osprey tells me "Polish Armies of the Partitions" is now in their next catalogue that should be printed for August - still have to wait till January 2013 to receive a copy.  Still, exciting times.  For those of you unfamiliar with the work of the artist, Raffaele Ruggeri, he is an A+ military artist and I am very happy to have been paired with him.

I have a couple of short articles on the Warlord site for the Persian, Assyrians and Babylonian armies.  Here is a link for the Persian to take a look:
