review:
'Steampunk Soldiers: Uniforms and Weapons from the Age of Steam' by Philip Smith and Joseph McCullough with illustrations by Mark Stacey is a field guide to the uniforms and weapons of an alternate 19th century. It brought about an age of steam-powered weapons and new armor for the men wielding those weapons.

When a meteor shower in 1862 rained down a new element called hephaestium, it advanced technology as well as created new battles for this new element.

The book breaks up the major continents and discusses ranks, uniforms and weapons that might have arisen from new elements being found. As with most Osprey guides, the information, even if supposed, and the illustrations are top-notch. I had a great time poring through this book and wondering "what if?"

I received a review copy of this ebook from Berkley Publishing Group and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
