    Added to Maps section:

    http://www.1806-1807.napoleon-online...tegory&catid=3 Maps showing evolution of the battle of Jena.
    http://www.napoleon-online.de/html/1812_karten.html Maps from 1812 campaign in Russia including battles of Smolensk, Polotsk (both battles), Malo-Jaroslawetz, Krasnoye & others.
    http://www.napoleon-online.de/html/1814karten.html Maps of battles of La Rothière, Montmirail, Montereau, Craonne, Laon & others from 1814.

    Also added to Uniforms section:
    Bavaria
    http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8427436s Uniforms & organisation of Bavaria’s town guard 1807 plus musical scores.
    http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8427389k Munich town guard 1796-1807.

    Westphalia
    http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8427394w National Guard of the Kingdom of Westphalia, (clearly the BNF description is incorrect as it has this relating to 1805 because Westphalia was formed after Tilsit in 1807).

    Added to Uniforms section under All Nations:

    http://www.napoleon-online.de/html/augsburgerbilderserie.html Contemporary "Augsburger uniform or Series" covering 1802-1810. Almost every nation of the time was represented with at least one sheet, which was usually 5 per nation, including 2 each for the infantry and cavalry (often divided into light and heavy forces) and 1 for the artillery. Amongst these amazing plates are very interesting illustrations of Ottoman troops & Cossacks.

    Keep up the great work!

    Many thanks for the appreciation....!

    While my principle interest is the Napoleonic era, I am happy to tack to the end another section after Napoleonic Other on Victoriana/Post Napoleonic or whatever title(s) is(are) appropriate. I have a number of very useful links to uniform plates on gallica covering German States/Prussia/Britain/France/Russia/Austria-Hungary etc that I can let you have if you so wish - drop me a PM.
