We figured a way to do both. The new BOFF ACW scenario books as well as BOFF regimental will have labels. Regards, Bill Gray On Fri, 01 Dec 2006 08:01:20...

I was wondering if anyone knew a website that contained maps (terrain placement especially) of different battles. Thanks! Sebastian [Non-text portions of this...
Try this site: http://home.paradise.net.nz/mcnelly/vb/index/index_scenario_napoleonic.htm It is quite easy to convert their OBs to AoE since they use the...
Hello Allan, Thanks! I wonder why there's such a long period between when I post a message and when it appears. It's not like on ANY of the other groups I'm...
Actually I can explain that. The first post of each new member is moderated as a SPAM control measure. Sometimes (and I don't know why) a new member's first...
Not a bad jumping off point - but some of their OB information is a bit suspect - that for Brienne, for instance, refers to Polish Dragoons and (mounted)...
I have done a considerable amount of research into the battle of Waterloo recently and this has thrown up an interesting question regarding British Infantry....
Well, unlike the stray artillery thread, this is one where I really have no strong opinion one way or the other. Do you feel it more appropriate they be...
Appropo to the recent discussion on artillery, I'm reading Kevin Kiley's "Artillery of the Napoleonic Wars, 1792-1815". In it he talks about Senarmont's...
mage; Mmmm. The actual distance has been debated, but Senarmont did advance his artillery in just such a fashion and did serious damage, though 4000 killed is...
Mark: I certainly agree that the British used line formation almost exclusively on the battlefield outside of built-up areas, though there are examples where ...
... Didn't know that. ... Kiley uses a letter from Senarmont to his brother as the reference for the number killed. My thought when I read it though, since...
... Yes, Russian officers contradicted Senarmont's claim, saying it was more like 250 yards. ... The problem was that there had been fighting over that ground...
Col. Bill, Until recently I had never given this subject much consideration, but it was James Shaw's comments on the deployment at Waterloo that started me...

I don't pretend to know as much as the Bills, and even BillH has said he doesn't "know," but I'd offer the following observation. The generally understood...

When were the Dundas/Moore reforms? Moore's reforms were ca 1803 iirc, taking the new practices into the field in 1809. I also came across this earlier today ...
A postscript for further thought: to what extent does the massive use of skirmishers by the brits post Moore turn Linear into Impulse? These thick screens were...
Geoff: Well, I know what Brent says about it. And I know that Dundas was used by the infantry during the Napoleonic wars. Moore's influence was focused on the...

BILL H. The recent discussion on artillery is a case in point. How to simulate the effects of artillery in a table-top game? In many cases the rules sets only...
