The Lost Cities of Africa was a refreshing re-read, but didn't really add anything to my battle notes. I forgot how much of it is spent describing found cities from lost civilizations. It's also depressing to realize how little progress has been made on some of them.

Meanwhile, my copy of De Bellis Antiquitatis duly turned up in early June. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it includes a broad list of armies from ancient to medieval times from all over the world, even including pre-Columbian America and pre-European Oceania.

Well, almost all over the world. Guess what it has no data on? Yup, sub-Saharan Africa...
