League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Can anyone recommend a book on Seven Years War tactics or nature of warfare?

I have played alot of Napoleonic and I am trying to understand the subtle differences between these periods. As far as I can gather infantry formations were more lineal and light infantry were starting to be used? Not sure to what extent squares were being used?

Brent Nosworthy's Anatomy of Victory covers 1700-1763 rather well.

Thanks Rob. What's annoying is I used to have that book many years ago and sold it. Just checked on Amazon and it is £75!

Rumor has it, it was to be reprinted. I think that was mentioned on this board somewhere.

On Military Matters has it for $48 US.

By the same token, Christopher Duffy's two volumes on the Austrians are also worth a read.

Anything by Christopher Duffy is worth a read IMHO!
