Just saw this after following some links posted on The Miniatures Page. Apparently there has been some upgrading going on with 3Decks and they've published their first book? Having been a tad inactive for some months this may be old news to some?
Full Title: Royal Navy Officers of the Seven Years War, A Biographical Dictionary of Commissioned Officers 1748-1763.

Three Decks is an excellent resource. I have used it for checking on my facts when there is a contridiction between my main sources in the ships histories that I am writing up in the history Forum.

ThreeDecks is my "Plan B" when Winfield or Silverstone doesn't give sufficient info.
Please enlighten me about Silverstone DB.

Excellent! I was a bit surprised to see that 3Decks had gotten into publishing.Quote:

Good news indeed DB. It feels like Christmas!
Rob.
Here is hoping then that they open soon, Spanish info would be very usefulQuote:
