No its the first book on Perryville I have read although I have come across details in more general campaign studies. In ACW my preference used to be the western theatre although my interest in the east has been renewed. Presently I am looking at the Confederate counter-offensive in 1862 hence the Perryville book and one on Iuka/Corinth just purchased. Its the same author as one of those you mentioned which I would like to read at some time.
Oh, I see. I have read about Iuka-Corinth in the past but that is not one of my favorites, but it is interesting as all heck because of all the CSA Trans Miss. troops that were involved. I guess disease really ravished both armies then. Bragg's Kentucky offensive is really interesting.
I am actually afraid I may have left that other Stones River book in a Dentist's office, I hope not. I hate it when I misplace things. We're having a little ice and snow storm today so i have to shovel etc. but am going to try and find that book today. It has a very accurate OOB in it that I used for the TalonSoft game mod.
Hee hee hee, Fat32 Corps with Gen. Fatcat Halleck woulf be neat to create in FoF, and I wonder if Halleck ever appears for the Union?? I am playing the Union now and having a hard time, as there are more Infernal Rebel Hordes than thee are my Glorious Defenders of Old Glory!!! And those other fellows have Whitworth Cannon and rifles, and they won't go away!! [&:]
Another good book IMHO is 'The Bloody Crucible of Courage, Fighting Methods and Combat Experience of the Civil War' by Brent Nosworthy. It deals a lot with tactics, and how some Generals incorporatedFrench Napoleon I and Napoleon III tactics as well as frederick tthe Graet of Prussia's tactics etc. into their own SOP's. The book puts things together pretyy good, idf you haven't read it. Can find it for a few $ now on Ebay, at Amazon and Abe books etc. in used and new condition. I have a paperback edition.
See, you got me interested in 1862 again, I have to load the TalonSoft Chickamauga game (it also has Murfreesboro in it) and find the bits and pieces of my mod files on my saved disk. of course I have to find the saved disk first, just like the book on Murfreesboro that dissappeared. [X(][&:]
