Evening all,
I stumbled across this website at work today (army isn't entirely keeping me busy at the moment) and I wanted to share it. I did a search and didn't see any obvious posting of it, so forgive me if it turns out everyone knows about it:

At any rate, I know this site mostly deals with an era immediately following the scope of E:TW, there are a lot of fine articles concerning weapons, equipment, tactics techniques and procedures (TTPs), and even uniforms and anicdotal stories about units.
The format kind of rambles at times, and the author will requote the same line many times in short spaces, but the content was superb. One thing I learned today for instance is a good historic drill from moving a six unit formation arrayed in a two unit wide, three unit deep column into a square:

And how to do the same with all six units on line:

I believe these are useful TTPs when you need to form square but 160 man ETW squares aren't big enough to shelter key assets like howitzers or your general.
Anyway, great site. I pray I'm not being redundent.
*edit* pics didn't show, so I replaced them with links.
