This volume and its companion volume gather for the first time the lilerary and archaeological evidence for the Romanization of the Seleucid and Ptolemaic armies during the reigns of Antiochus IV Epiphanes of Syria (175-164 BC) and Ptolemy VI Philometor of Egypt (180-145 BC). It has long been realized that the late Hellenistic armies of the first century BC were equippedd and organized along Roman lines. It seems, however, that the process started during the second quarter of the second century, probably as a direct consequence of the Roman victory over Macedon at the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC. In this volume, which concerns the Ptolemaic army under Ptolemy VI Philometor, an analysis of the reformed army based upon the work of Kallikles son of Kallikles the Alexandrian is carried out. Also, one of the most in depth studies ever of late Hellenistic soldiers is undertaken when a set of tombstones from Sidon is described in detail. |

In this volume, which concerns the Seleucid army under Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a detailed description of the army during the 160s is given. The evidence for late Hellenistic military organization given by the military pamphlets of Ascklepiodotus, Aelian and Arrian is analysed and compared to late Seleucid military practice. |

Development of the Leopard 1 can be traced back to November 1956, when the operational requirement for a new battle tank was formulated by the Federal German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). Originally a Franco-German project, the tank under design was named the 'Standard-Panzer'. The French later dropped out, however, and on 1 October 1963 the 'Standard' tank was officially named 'Leopard', an appropriate choice considering Germany's wartime pedigree with the formidable Tiger and Panther. This book traces the development and service record of the Leopard 1, detailing its control systems, modifications and variants. |

In ancient and medieval times the lands of what is now referred to as the former Soviet Union provided the battlegrounds for some of the most fantastic warriors history has known. The purpose of this book is to give us a glimpse of what they looked like. It features twenty-two full colour plates showing expert reconstructions of nearly seventy exotic warriors from places as far apart as from the Danube in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east, where Chuckchi warriors even terrorised the inhabitants of the western coasts of America! Each plate is accompanied by its own text giving a short historical outline and a description of the military characteristics and arms and armour of its principals. |

The Kraguj is an all metal, single seat, light weight aircraft; developed for many military roles and capable to carry required ordnance to a target with minimum cost. The simplicity of design requires minimum of pilot training. The operation in very close proximity to the front line is ensured since take-off and landing from small, unprepared grass airstrips is possible. Single aircraft or in squadron strength can be moved quickly to almost any locality near the front line. Armed with rockets, bombs, napalm, small bombs for troop targets and machine guns, this aircraft can be used against limited enemy troop actions, troop concentrations, supply trains, convoys of truck tanks, mobile artillery, small boats etc. The Kraguj may be also used for light transport roles both in army and civil services. Useful load of about 500 kg is available for such purposes. The Kraguj has been under development for several years of extensive design, testing and production. The development of this aircraft was carried out in collaboration between the Yugoslav Aeronautical Research Establishments and the Yugoslav Aircraft Industry. The aircraft was built in accordance with the latest Military Airworthiness Requirements and Tactical and Operational Study. Many internationally known Yugoslav and foreign firms supplied high quality equipment for this aircraft. Particular attention was paid to simplicity of design and technological processes in manufacture so that this aircraft can be manufactured in the countries with limited technological possibilities and smaller capacities of the aircraft industry. This is SOKO Factory commercial brochure about their Kraguj Light Strike Aircraft. Brochure is in English language. Contents: Introduction; General data; Flight performance; Aircraft structure; Flight controls; Instruments; Cockpit; Seat; Wheel brake system; Fuel system; Oil system; Electrical system; Electronic equipment; Armament; Engine; Propeler; Engine cooling; Tactical operations; Maintenance and service; Notes; Technical assistance; Technical training of the purchaser's personnel; Overhaul life-time and warranty. |

Baseboards are the foundation of every model railway and if poorly made can lead to much frustration, disappointment, wasted time and money. Despite this, many modellers often skimp or rush their construction in their eagerness to get on with the more interesting parts of building a layout. The book gives a complete introduction to the basic tools, materials and techniques needed to construct a foundation for a layout of any size or scale. Starting from the traditional solid top baseboard and working through to more advanced designs, step by step guides demonstrate the techniques for assembling one of the most important components of your model railway. In addition topics such as making your layout portable or transportable, fascia panels, methods of joining baseboards together and the legs that support them are discussed. This book will appeal to both beginners to the hobby and those who are about to embark on the construction of a new layout. It offers a useful reference guide to the wide variety of baseboard types and materials available to the railway modeller. |

Flexibility, mobility, and the ability to effectively communicate were all key requirements that the units operating armoured cars and reconnaissance half-tracks demanded – and that were also crucial to the Panzerwaffe and German Army as a whole. Bryan Perrett’s treatment of the development and history of German armoured cars and recce vehicles fully accounts for the crucial role that such units, and more importantly their vehicles, played during the course of World War II. Full orders of battle are also given, along with technical details and specifications of the vehicles assigned to particular units. |
