Mesoamerican Drawings from Armies of the Aztecs and Inca Empires, other Native Peoples of the Americas, and the Conquistadores

Here below are drawings from a recommendable work from Foundry Wargames. It covers as the tittle says, warfare of various South, North, and Central American native populations along with those of the Conquistadors. I nether found such a book that extensively covers Mesoamerican tribes. It is really expensive, but it is such a great work on early European campaigns in the Americas. The book also explains more complexities not usually covered in typical history books or classes. For example, it goes into great detail on the Spanish allies like the Tlaxcaltics, which in most history books they just get a passing reference. Also clashes between rival bands of Conquistadors are also covered. Here is the Amazon page for the book
