Has anyone got an orbat for this campaign ? Or know of a good website to track down info on the French/Mantuan army involved in this campaign ?

Cheers

A rather elusive and forgotten war were the information which do exist is hidden away in in old books. Very much overshadowed by the events of the TYW as far as historians have been concerned. I'll poke around in my database and see if can find any suggestions on where to look.

Or perhaps you can just wait for the FoGR army book being published on the war:

Dukes and Dishonesty
The Mantuan War 1628-1631

You are indeed being acclimatized to our culture being over here for awhile. I am sure it is your interest in moonshine and General Lee (the car) that drew you there and not the daisy dukes.

I remember the original 70s version when Barbara Bach was quite the thing on tv.

well I guess we are not too senile yet then, I also recall the original, flying car and short shorts, not to mention mass carnage of police cars every episode.
