IMPERIAL WEB LINKS

Not the ultimate collection by any means, but simply a list of sites I find myself always referencing as I continue my endless journal thru the fascinating age of Napoleon and the French Revolution. And when the Lace Wars and hyphonated wars (Franco-Prussian, etc) variants finally make their appearance, then we will add even more links for these two periods of history as well.


Certainly there are literally thousands more, far too many for me to ever list here on this or several pages. However, don't let that stop you from submitting a recommendation or two or three or enven four. If you know of a site you think would be appropriate for inclusion, please let me know! It doesn't even have to be Napoleonic related - remember we are planning on a Lace Wars variant and one for the era of the Franco-Prussian and other hyphonated wars. Also please drop me a line if one of the links below turns up dead (thanks). Regardless, this should get you started. Enjoy, and please check out our own Webpage chock full of Age of Eagles specific downloads.
