- The Battle of Trafalgar 1805
Overview-
In the first of a potential new series Florian Richter presents color profile models of every ship on both sides in this epic battle. In a change to previous paper soldier titles, these ships can be cut straight out of the book to create the British, French and Spanish fleets.
About The Author-
Peter has made his living as a freelance illustrator for 40 years, mostly working on historical subjects, notably in recent years for Osprey in the UK, and for various wargame figure manufacturers in the form of box art. He designed and illustrated Paddy Griffith's 'Battle in the Civil War' which was a new approach to explaining the job of the American Civil War General and was commissioned to do several series of drawings for the new Gettysburg visitor centre. Peter has played with toy soldiers in one way or another for most of his life, and his work and hobby come together in this paper soldier revival project with Helion books. He lives in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, in the UK.
REVIEWS-
“This remarkable book will appeal to wargamers everywhere - the models are excellent and the colours are engaging - the entire book is an engineering triumph!”
“I wholeheartedly applaud the publishers' decision to support the ship profiles by making suitable rules available for free on their website.”
“I was quite surprised as to the level of detail the two authors had gone into. There is even an index of ship's flags; indicating what flags were flown and on what mast, for each ship...For the novice wargamer, this is a good introduction.”
