Question. I think most of us have heard the account of French eyewitnesses saying they could break thru the first Anglo-Portuguese battleline, only to be...
Bill, I have looked into this in some detail in the past and probably have some notes somewhere, but I found nothing to indicate that the French mistakenly...
Mark Amongst modern writers, Jac Weller is one who talks at length about a thick line of skirmishers. However, I find it difficult to believe that experienced...
HI just got the scenario book for 1813 and I have a quick question about the saxon strengths for 2 of the brigades at Dennewitz (before I build the corp). At...
Haven't got a clue off the top of my head, but I'll check. Normally I just pull the stats from a reputable source (in this case it was likely the German...
Part of the issue may be that the British [and other nations] had open and extended line formations, as well as the paired skirmish deployment. Bill H. ...
Yes, and such a deployment might look like a main battleline just shot up by French skirmishers??? Mark's source is what I am looking for, but it is something...
Hi Bill (G), We are refighting the above starting in a couple of weeks and note that the fire points are reduced to half per base because of the '...continual,...
Bill, Which other authors are referencing the work (presumably you mean Vigo-Roussillon)? The reason that I ask is because there may be a different page...
I would think the artillery would also be severely affected. After all, Napoleon delayed Waterloo because of the sodden ground conditions. Soft turf reduces...
Makes sense, but like Dresden (where Napoleon double teamed the horses for his guns to mitigate the wet ground), I haven't found anything that suggests...
To what extent would commentors remark on the degradation of artillery, or just assume the reader would understand it? An inability of squares to defend...
Hi All I was wondering if anyone has any images or even any that I can print off as 15mm, of any Portugese Line infantry Colours. The Regiment they stand for...
Head to "Warflag" website . . . I've attached a page of flags . . . you can print them then size them on a color copier. . . [Non-text portions of this...
Thanks for the input so far and I am familiar with what is written about the weather at the time. I assume you have not limited the artillery to one action...
I had a copy of these rules some time ago, but passed it on when I thought my game days were over! Thinking of getting back into it, and am building army at...
To be honest, as long as you have the same base size on both sides, it probably makes little difference. I use 6 mm for AOE (9 infantry per stand) but I...
8 stands is a good size. French usually run 6-9 stands and Austrians @ 15 (yes they are cumbersome). IIRC Prussians and Russians are @ 8 and Brits 5-7 ...
As someone whose AOE army is mostly Austrian, I can testify to the big cumbersome brigades - they look good on the march, though Michael Rieder ... From:...

Just to say that I can stop asking stupid questions now! Have found all the answers anyway in posts on this group, plus a link to adapted 28mm charts etc. My...
Having extensively researched my figures for Brigades I have come up with the following "standard" brigade sizes: 1806 Prussians 10 stands [including the...
FWIW my 1809 Austrians average 15 stands (III Korps are 12) The scary thing is the 3, 12 stand Grenadier Brigade(s) in the Reserve Korps. That seemed like the...
