'The Guard Gives!'

The Imperial Guard, this glorious phalanx, the fruit of all the attention of the Emperor Napoleon I, forms a small army in the Grande Armee. This study of its organisation, like that of its uniforms and its equipment, is here completed to the finest degree.

Volume 1 covers the uniforms, the equipment, and the armament of The Old Guard, who were launched into the battle at the decisive moment. Explaining the concepts of the organization of Old, Middle and Young Guards, illustrator and researcher Andre Jouineau presents the general colonels, grenadiers, chasseurs, fusiliers, velites, flankers, pupils, veterans, workers, engineers, doctors, Podestats and other gunners. This practical, small, precise, clear, logical and visual tool, a true vade mecum for amateurs of imperial history, is intended for enthusiasts of imperial history and figures.

This book is the new version that has been completely redesigned, revised, amended and widely expanded – it contains nearly 50% new characters from the book published several years ago. On 176 pages, nearly a thousand drawings develop the purpose of these two specialists of the period. Volume 2 goes on to explore the centaurs of the Cavalry of the Guard.
Industry Reviews
Superb quality, mindblowing content and great value for money! * Editor - Model Boat World *
If you are seeking uniform information on the infantry of the Imperial Guard for painting either wargame figures or larger scale display models you really need look no further. * Miniature Wargames - Arthur Harman *
For the modeller this really has a wealth of ideal references and I am sure it will be of interest to the wargamer, Napoleonic Wars historian and re-enactor alike. The artwork which fills this book is a joy to see, and I would say a pleasure to look through simply from the artistic point of view. If this is book 1, covering the Foot Soldiers, we evidently have more books to look forward to as well for the future. * Military Model Scene *
