I sent a lot of pdf´s to the first email address

did you receive them ?

Hi Munro,

just need your email-adress and I´ll send you my pdf´s on the relevant armies and flags.

where are you from - able to read German as well ?

I haven´t found a map until now, just vague descriptions of the battlefield (mostly from the French Point of view).
Since the Savoyan army lost, well, they didn´t have any intetest in picturing the battle, it seems.
I´ll try to draw a possible map (in the near future).

According to: http://cronologia.leonardo.it/storia/aa1688a.htm 11.000 Infantry, 5.000 Cavalry, 18 guns for the Savoyan army. Others sources: 11-12.000 Infantry, 5.000-7.000 Cavalry, 12 guns, a total of 18.000 men for the Savoyan army. Victor Amadeo is said to have lost 11 of his 12 guns. 7.000 Infan...

@Danschorr

Could you provide a contact to Gian-Carlo Boeri ?

I first met him in Naples (in the Museum) back in the early 1980´s, but unfortunately (and sadly) we lost contact during the years.

Great to hear he´s still active.

Maybe you could help.

I´m working on the Italian/Savoyan theatre for more than 2 years, and it´s very tedious, nearly all the special stuff is in Italian language.

And seemingly most of the italian wargamers are not very interested in this period or in translating and providing some stuff .....
