League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Apparently Osprey Publishing is holding a vote on the title and subject of a new book for their Men At Arms series: "The Swedish Army in the Great Northern War". That is terrific news for those who are interested in the period, and with a flood of 28mm figures for the GNW slated to hit the market in 2014, the timing of such a book is excellent.


Alas, the book has only garnered 8% of the votes so far, while The Opium Wars 1830-1860 leads the field with 35% of the votes. I believe that we have sufficient numbers here on LoW to potential to swamp the poll with our votes and get this important book published. As an added bonus, perhaps a successful voting interest in the GNW will prompt Osprey to republish the out of print books covering the Army of Peter the Great.


So here is what I am asking everyone to do: go to the Osprey Publishing web site at:


http://www.ospreypublishing.com

and place your vote for the Swedish Army in the Great Northern War. You will find the poll by scrolling down the right hand side of the page.

Done, but it's lagging along way behind, so get voting guys!!!

Voted again.

I gave my vote too

Done!

I would have voted for it but then spotted the one on the French Army of the Crimean War. Then there's also the one on the Baltic Wars as well.

Traitor!

I'm more interested in the Russians and Saxons than the Swedes so not too bothered about being a traitor
Plus my French Crimean/FPW army can give your Saxons a good thrashing sometime in the future.

In term of numbers I hope!

Done. But there are near 30 percent difference to the top position

voted, but it is losing badly still

Voted, but still not looking good

I went back in and voted again for it this time as I would happily buy it along with all the other ones I would like.

Apparently there are around 16,000 votes in the poll so far ( knock me over with a feather on those numbers ) so even if we gained 200-300 more votes, it probably wouldn't move the dial very much. However, keep voting to show Osprey that we have core numbers that could support the title down the road.

Voted, but does not look good...
