Poor Mike, he accidentally identified the Prussian cuirassiers as the ones who had divested themselves of their armour instead of the Austrians  :-[ apologetic emails were flying this morning, makes no difference, excellent book.

Whoops! Perhaps he should team up with Wawro. Still ordered the book though.

Empathise. So much work put in and so much proof reading and, often, something, somehow seeks through - but thankfully as Cam and Chad indicate, it has not detracted from the book as a whole. Confusion over Prussian/Austrian, Austrian/Prussian appears to be a common mistake for some strange reason - I once sent away some Pendraken SYW Prussian Cuirassiers for painting and they came back painted as Austrian Cuirassiers complete with Austrian flag!

If you are reading this, good luck with the sales, Mike.

Sssh, don't tell anyone. I also got Austrian limbers from Pendraken once and I had ordered Prussian ones (oops!).
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Given the tiny contribution of Prussian Cuirassiers in this part of the 1866 war it is hardly the most significant blooper ever recorded!
