Bataille Empire

End result there is an independent Battalion, small in size maybe, but capable of independent action on a busy battlefield. Sort of like a Special Forces unit. Its been a while since Ive read Petre's "Napoleon's Campaign in Poland 1806-1807" - but if I recall correctly, he goes into detail about the...

Good discussion, particularly if you consider how to handle exceptions that are not covered by rules. The odd case of Battalion Guns + Full Skirmish order, but the same applies to any oddity that always comes up every other game. How you handle it depends on what the tone of your gaming session is. ...

Mon Ami ! From Adelaide originally, came up here for a spot of contracting ... and still here :) Yeah, its just painting and solo gaming for now - and collecting rules and growing the lead mountain. Be great to pop down to ADL again sooner rather than later and get some gaming in. Im keeping an eye ...

Currently experimenting with extended periods where the command, tactics and maneuver is still basically Napoleonic with more infantry units SK capable ... cavalry still in use, although more vunerable to firepower, and great advances in artillery. Advances in small arms firepower look good on paper...
