Bataille Empire

Hello Duc d'Brisbane. I am Marshall Elaurant, Dauphin of Adelaide, and another friend here, Paul Edgar, Marquis de McLarenVale, have been playing a bit of BE here in Adelaide with 15mm figures. I have also been painting figures so that we could use it for 25mm as well. Hopefully when this virus calm...

Thanks for the link. I had a couple of other particular favorites, which I will guess and be grateful if anyone can confirm:

Dessaix = Dess-aye
Massena = Mass-een-a
Marmont = Marr-mon

Bonjour from Adelaide. Please pardon my lack of French language. I have French revolutionary and imperial armies and enjoy playing them. I had a question - is there anywhere that I can hear correct French pronunciation of the names of Napoleon's marshalls and generals? I would like to know I am sayi...

I have a lot of Vallejo paints I have used on WWII and modern figures in recent years. Question does anyone have a g...

Merci, Herve. The general issue is: having 24 figures instead of 12 makes the unit width/UD to huge for a 120x180cm table. Is there a general guide for people that use the look and feel of most 28mm rule sets? Basing is 4 infantry on 40x40mm and 2 cavalry on 50x50mm and one cannon on 60x80mm. Sorry...

I am just learning these rules. This is a 200 point army I am trialing, based on my favourite, Napoleon in Italy, 1796. Those who have played a few games - do you think this is viable as an army to play against all comers? French in Italy (1796) CO - Napoleon, Strategist Div I - Massena, Competent V...
