As a contribution to the most informative Albuera debate (meaning the more serious parts of it) I uploaded Kausler-Woerl's Albuera map to the files section. I...
Or maybe you ar talking about SAPPERS?... THAT'S ANOTHER ONE ALLTOGETHER!... and you are probably right!!! ADB [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Guys, I'd be interested to know if anyone has details of the uniform and horse furniture for the French Carabineers during 1809. I know that the armour they...
Nope, ruthlesshaman nailed me. How could I forget that you can can't have plasma cannon and a time warp generator on the same vessel? (Sob) I feel so ashamed ....
Bearskins, blue coat with red lapels & turnbacks, blue shabraque, ligt tan breeches (service) Hope this helps [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Yes, think Horse Grenadiers with red lapels, trumpeters wore reversed colors. Osprey recently published a brand new MAA book on these lads. Regards, Bill G ......
Very confused about this, any help would be appreciated. Side A has two infantry brigades in line, one within support of the other, plus a cavalry brigade in...
OK, here ya go. We put on the battle of Dennewitz 1813 across two sittings of five hours each on Friday of the con, the folks coming in for the second round...
Engineers had axes, picks, and other tools which were useful to fortify buildings on defense and help break into fortified buildings on the attack.??AOE close...
All right. I have uploaded my analysis of Colborne's actions based on the accounts we have. I've enjoye doing this *almost* as much as painting figures, typing...
Bill G. There is nothing worse than being nailed by a 'ruthlesshaman.' You have my sympathies. It's hard when those little details get in the way of Orion...
Thanks for the map, Ingo: It is interesting that the map shows Colborne's brigade [I think, as nothing is labeled or time given] as being disorganized and at a...
Howdy gents: I've been following the discussion, but I'm not sure I follow what is being put forth. Every infantry regiment had 'pioneers' of some kind,...
Yes, but the big guy went down and the big bad French wolves stayed away. BTW, it is hard to find that movie on DVD. Besides, all the sappers weren't that...
AH, this is what I was talking about! One stand of special men who don't usually fight don't give a whole brigade a plus one in combat. However, having ...
Spend you time reading Sun Tzu instead, bah. Col. Grey has added a touch of Sci Fi tough, quite commendable. The exploits of the grand battery at Dennewitz...
Ingo, Thanks for the map. I would say that it shows the topography pretty well. It also shows the troop movements with a degree of accuracy too, although the...
Bill, I have just read your description of Colborne's attack. This is great stuff, and does fit with all eyewitness accounts that we have. I look forward to...
I believe that you are referring to the famous Sergeant Harper, who had a 5 barrel Royal Navy barrel gun. I think the major role of the sappers on the table...
Michael B: The actual fight, starting with the Spanish and ending with Colborne's distruction lasted about two hours or four turns, 8:30 when Zayas deploying...

Mark: Thanks for the comments. Without your work, I won't have been able to do it at all. I think your conclusion about the frontal attacks, however resisted...
Can you equip a whole brigade with those things? Ka-boom. Does it have a bayonet, since reloading might take a while..... Hey, just draw broadswords and...
Not really, the Albuera discussion is getting long in the tooth. Wish you guys could spread out your scholarly work elsewhere. Really, the work is good,...
Hello, Has anyone made a detailed (to battalion strengths) of the French and Prussians that fought at Plancenoit???? I'd love to see more detail than what was...
I saw John Wayne's film "Alamo" and the Mexicans used one of those in one scene. Were they commonly used more often? A few wagon loads of those and I'd give...
