Bataille Empire

An example of my 200pt Russian lists (FWIW): Russian 1812 CnC competent  Reserve units: 1 x Opelchenie (assign to Infantry Division) 1 x 12pdr battery (keep with CnC) Vanguard Division competent  2 x Jaeger 1 x Cossack  1 x Hussar 1 x 6pdr horse battery Infantry Division poor 3 x Musketeer  Cavalry ...

Marty, Rightio then, where to start ?  By way of a super quick summary,  BE is very much a next-generation set ... if you think of FoGN v2 as being a step up from previous Naopleonic rule sets, then BE is at least 2 steps further on again. And it requires NO rebasing from any existing rules so figur...
