Throwing Thunderbolts by Garry David Wills is a wargamers guide to the War of the First Coalition 1792-1797 and published under the Helion Wargames series. Often called the French Revolutionary Wars the period follows the birth of the new French Republic up to the start of the French Empire under Napoleon.The book covers a short history of the Revolution before a very factual and informative chapter on the Military Chronology of the War of the First Coalition. Everything is explained to assist the wargamer to understand the history behind the war and is invaluable in putting everything in order. The following chapter describes the forces involved in the war and is very clear and concise, right down to numbers involved in how many troops made up formations. There is even a section on the Navies of each faction. The author provides assistance in organising wargaming forces before moving onto a substantial chapter which has scenarios for gaming the period.This is a great book to aid you if you are a wargamer interested in starting this period. It is full of useful hints and tips to get into the period and well worth buying.

    Inspiring stuff for wargamers
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2023*

Throwing ThunderboltsThe Revolutionary War of 1792-97 is sadly neglected in wargames terms, but this veritable encyclopedia is enough to enthuse even those most jaded with ‘conventional’ Napoleonics.A third of the 300 pages explains the history, then come the armies, scenarios, figures available…AND it covers the naval side for would-be young Hornblowers. The idea of a Royalist Vendean force nearly got me buying figures whilst reading!
