Got it now.
Campaign 420.
Lots (too many?) of pictures of castles.
Some very good Graham Turner paintings. His work is always wonderful.
I would have liked more pictures of the Irish and German troops.
Overall a good book and worth the Osprey asking price.
7/10.

Thanks for the review, Martin.

As this took place only 8 years before the battle of Fornovo I imagine the German pike/long spear would still be wearing tight hose, but possibly wearing the squared off footwear worn by Maximillian. The tunic upper sleeves were doubtless beginning to be slashed and some may have begun to adopt bonnets instead of helmets, although the front rank was likely to be armoured. At the time long haired and beardless was very much the fashion. I have considered a head swap for some of the PP spear/pike figures, using the civilian hats heads.
The Irish were mostly javelin men in yellowish tunics and barelegged, although there may also have been a few of the Gallowglass type in helmets and long mail shirts who fought in closer formation.
