It all depends how far down the rabbit you want to go… and how much you wish to spend.
Ospreys are a great start, yes they can have issues and mistakes, but really they re an excellent starting point.
So too can the Internet, especially some forums and Facebook groups. You would be surprised at the wealth of information available.
It also depends if you have an interest in military history too. For me, military history, wargaming and collecting pretty books are pretty much all the same hobby. But not all gamers need, or want, to tread that path.
So have a think if you are drawn to it from a love of history as well as a desire to game it. It can be very rewarding compiling your own research for a period, battle or unit and adds something extra that lacks in fantasy or sci-fi games.
But its up to you how far you want to go with though. Be warned… its a slippery slope.
