    „Forms of War 1600-1815“ is the title of the Bavarian Army Museum’s latest permanent exhibition, opened in 2019 and housed in the New Castle of Ingolstadt. With exhibits from the museum‘s own collection and some important loans, it illustrates the forms of warlike violence in the early modern period. Focal points are the fighting in the major battles on open fields, the siege and defence of fortresses, and the so-called “small war”, which placed a heavy burden on the countryside and the population in the vicinity of the major conflicts. The book is an introduction to the subject and also provides some information about the redesign of the 1815 museum rooms. All the exhibited items are documented in text and pictures, most of them are published here - for the first time. 1600 FORMS R WA of of FORMS WAR ISBN 978-3-96049-079-1 ISBN 978-3-96049-079-1 1600-1815 9 783960 490791 > Forms of War 1600-1815 Forms of War 1600-1815 Tobias Schönauer and Daniel Hohrath with a contribution by Marian Füssel Catalogues of the Bavarian Army Museum Volume 19 Edited by Ansgar Reiß Originally published in German in 2019.
