Just got this today Zweybrucken in Command The Reichsarmee in the Campaign of 1758 By Helion & Company  By Neil Cogswell . Its a nice book with lots of information on these Armies. The Uniform plates are from that era with a section on uniforms of the different states. With all the 7 years War figures there are you could have a nice selection    Willie

Jain  Italian Colonial Army You can see these both on the Osprey page Man At Arms.
