Some of you might notice that one of my three already published booklets is no longer available from this website. As I commented some time before, I felt quite insatisfied with no. 3 booklet, Urn of Honour / Urna de l'Honor, a combination of scenario and uniformology volume with a prioritary focus on Two Crowns' units involved in the September 11th, 1714 final assault on Barcelona. So insatisfied I got with it that have finally decided to cancel it officially as a downloadable resource, after some undecision time.
The dropped volume contents will be split into several booklets instead. The first one will be devoted to the 1713-1714 campaign Infantry of Philip V, and will be assigned no. 4 of my series, as already explained a few days ago. I'm working hard on it right now, so that I expect to be able to offer a downloadable sample/draft to you very soon, with the aim to let you evaluate it and make suggestions and/or criticisms before it is completed. Eventual future releases in this splitting plan would consist of 2 further booklets, one on WSS Spanish Horse and the other on Catalan Coronela Militiae, the bright and colourful uniforms of which are for sure worth a booklet on its own. However, such are not to be worked at a short-short term. I'd like better to release no. 4 before, and receive convenient feedbacks on it.
And meanwhile, what am I going to do with the dropped no. 3? Well... er... I've decided to re-assign that series number to a further new booklet I have nearly finished. I know that re-using a dropped reference number is quite an odd, non-recommendable decision for a publishing company, but... what the h..k! I'm not any serious publisher, so that... In the end, the new no. 3 booklet will consist of a complete set of WSS campaign rules, focusing on the 1713-1714 campaign for the subjugation of Catalonia. Besides of the ruleset itself, it will comprehend appropriate army lists, events and weather tables, even a humble table of naval encounters too. There is a trick behind such a fast upcoming release, of course: those are the rules currently used for the 18th century Imagi-Nation I'm running right now. After one year and a half of playing, I believe they're tested enough to make them publicly accessable. Nevertheless, it will be first released as a draft too, so that anyone can make suggestions or criticisms of his/her own.Both booklets will be released in English language --or something willingly similar :S

Me too!
The campaign booklet is progressing actually fast, I'm persuaded I'll have it ready before the end of year.
As for the guide, it will last some time to complete it, but I expect to have a sample/preview ready for suggestions by late January.
Best wishes!
GREAT!
AMAZING!
I'll wait anxiously for those downloads...
Maravilloso! He realizado un mod con unidades españolas del siglo XVIII para el juego de ordenador "Empire Total War". Me será de gran utilidad la información recopilada.
Quizás, con el tiempo, pueda plasmar en el juego las unidades austracistas catalanas que nos muestras.
Muchas gracias
