Hi Rick The ............. typed to the left of the leftmost FF don't form part of the diagram - they are there as an editing function to get the two French...
OK, will try to take a look at this today. Just knocking out my last brigade of Imperial Austrian Kurassieren in Lobster Pots for my game at Fall In this...
Just a thought: the two French units are in 'line of battle' separated by about 1". If the French were in a single unit deployed in 'line of battle supported'...

I am not sure about rules ratings, sometimes the rules as written are not 100% right for the particular army at the chosen year. Examples being and not limited...
