Next time I'll post over there.
Caesar’s Legions is an osprey book that is supposed to be all three books in one. I’m just not sure if it all three complete books or just bits and pieces.
Thanks I'll also check into {71} Roman Legionary 58BC-AD69

Sorry for misunderstanding. :oops:
I suppose that Caesar legions is complete set of these three titles. I have all of them, each is 48 pages, i.e. 3x48=144 pages.
I have similiar book of three Osprey titles and the book is complete, not bits and pieces.

Thanks once again.
Are you saying that Caesar legions is 144 pages? which would be all three books?

Yes, Ceasar's legions is 144 pages - it means all three books in one.

Thanks,
I just read up on Roman Legionary 58BC-AD69, and it looks like a good book to get also.

Doesn't look as if you got a straight answer, Steve, so "Yes!"
Caesar's Legions is a compilation of Men-At-Arms 283, 291, and 46, with a 2-page index thrown in.

Michael Simkins says that his part of the book is way out of date and needs to be rewritten, but Osprey doesn't really care. They are, instead, reselling his old work (unedited) and having someone else write a new one.

Just for clarification, when you say that its missing the big plates, are you talking about the larger prints of art? Are you saying that Caesar's Legions is missing some artwork that you’d find in Men-At-Arms 291,283,46? If so, then to get the complete work one should by the books individually.

Don't panic. The plates are all there.
