THE SCANIAN WAR 1675-79 NEW BOOK

 My latest purchase from Helion - CHARLES XI's WAR The Scanian War between Sweden and Denmark 1675-1679.  I first read about the Scanian War 55 years ago in my first uniform book the classic Blandford  Military Uniforms of the World.  It had 2 pages of uniforms from this war.

I'm looking for ideas for future Imaginations campaignS and I decided this little known war might be a good starting point.  So far its been a good read - 256 pages of detail.

  1. I don’t have the Helion title but I remember buying the Blandford book as a youth - very impressed.
    Cheers,

  2. Have the same book, Blanford, that is, in my library. Thanks for the heads up on the Helion title.

  3. It is also one of my periods in wargame. I prepared uniforms, 1:1 ratio and a map of a battle. Quite interesting period also for uniforms. https://papersoldiersjournal.blogspot.com/2016/06/scanian-war.html
