Your inbox is full so I decided to start a thread. Did you ever collect that info on Riga? Or if anyone else has some information on the battle it would be appreciated.

'lo 'lo,
Bruce Gudmundsson published a keen analysis of this important engagement. His piece focuses on the German perspective [as a model for later offensive operations], artillery particularly, but his account is very useful. The bibliography will also reveal some very good sources for you.

Thanks for the replies. I've been curious about this battle for years now but have found very little information on it. I need to read that Stormtrooper book. Peter I love the picture of the Germans conducting the river assault.
