Michael, The info is greatly appreciated. The longer 6lb barrels indicates a better performance than the Freurensteins. You don't by any chnce know the...
Justo, Have you tried David Bell's Book, The First Total War, Houghton Mifflin? He's a Dr. of Humanities at the Johns Hopkins University. You may find it...
Michael, Did regular Russian units come from Georgia? I rather think of the Caucasus as the preserve of the Cossack tribes. Good gaming. Bob Coggins ... the ...
Saxon Artillery was in a contemptible state in 1809. Prior to that they had NO horse artillery(although one battery did exist it was used as foot artillery!)....
Thanks Bob, I'll check it out. I found his personal website: https://jshare.johnshopkins.edu/myweb/davidbell/ Justo ... From: napsbattles@yahoogroups.com...
We take a different view since it doesn't make sense infantry fire is esentially skirmish fire it doesn't make sense for two units to be within 1/2" of each...
Michael, The 3rd will be returning to the 1st edition's artillery ranges following lots of complaints about the disparity between the French and Allied guns....

Shoulder straps were indeed red, but apparently in the 1813-14 campaign the 2nd and Fusilier Battalions wore their old uniforms i.e. Colberg white facings red...
Yeah all those weight variances can be found in ospreys artillery equipments of the Napoleonic Wars. It's a very interesting technical read. All the info I...

I hope that all of the changes you WOULD make, for historically accurate purposes, would be included somewhere as options. Were there really historically...
DAS, The range attenuation charts will most likely be posted for free on the site. Big time difference. Using the English pound as the base the French pound...
Let me ask the question this way...a 10pdr and 12pdr ball would go thru any formation...and the extra range is nice, and all, but does the heavier roundshot...
Silly me to ask, but isn't a heavier ball more accurate at mean range than a lighter ball? Hence, in game terms, the increased accuracy would be abstractly...
The French had a favourite trick for testing the maximum range of the Russian 12's in the field. They would move horse guns up and see where the shots died...
Artillery shots are equally non discriminate in who they kill if that's what you mean. Range and powder quality were an Issue for the Russians but many...
DAS, I feel an article for the future web site. Effective range is the distance a ball travels at 0 degree elevation, which means it never rises above the...
Michael, What I meant was heavier shot fired at greater speed is more likely to go where it was aimed and continue after it hit someone. Russian guns were...
Thinking mechanically / physically : The kinetic energy a ball round possesses is proportional to its weight and proportional to the square of the velocity The...

Yes I agree a heavier shoot will have greater inertia and be less prone to being diverted on contact. This takes me back to high school physics. Russia...

Good Morning Nigel, Thanks very much for the info. I wish I had posted this question earlier because I had already purchased the minis in the 'new style...
Greetings Oh Wise Ones... I'm looking at the original from the Green Book, and I see that the Fleches are +3 fortifications, but it doesn't say where each...
Paul I played this battle a few years ago with my crew. What I came up with at the time based on best evidence was just this. Fleches support 1 brigade plus...
Hi Bob, There was a conversation here recently about two towns on the Austerlitz map having the same name (Jirschikowitz). I also remember, but can't cite,...
