WDF Xtra #14: Louis XIV's Arms & Armies VIII
Added 2017-08-20 23:05:01 +0000 UTC[PATRONS] Continuing our investigation of the French navy, we delve into some of the more nitty gritty details of how exactly the French waged war at sea. Why was naval warfare so apparently costly in casualties, but so indecisive overall? Did the expenditure in resources and expenses paid to the intendents and munitionnaires ever see much in the way of returns, and what strategy did the successors of the Colbert family plan to implement to make use of the changing nature of the balance of sea power? Have a listen here, and sea (haha!) for yourself!
