I've noted a lot of replays of Aspern-Essling on TMP, but I've yet to find a detailed OOB for those games. Anyone have a battalion level OOB with suggested unit ratings for Aspern-Essling? |

There are several sites/books with the OOB for Aspern-Essling. What rules you are using will often determine the rating of the units. Both Volley and Bayonet and Napoleon's Battles had published scenarios (the V&B one included more detail) Most start with Bowden's "Armies on the Danube". IIRC there are OOBs in the Gill "Thunder on the Danube" series as well. |

Half done so far : French OOB for Aspern-Essling
link Each 'base' represents 550 men, approx 1 battalion. Allied OOB still a work in progress at the moment. Good reference here to the Austrian OOB : link Includes information on uniforms as well – handy ! |

There are scenarios for Day 1 and Day 2 of Aspern-Essling in my 1809 scenario book for Field of Battle, "Blunders on the Danube" hopefully to be in print momentarily. link Battle Report from the Day 1 Scenario (x2)on my blog at: link Volume 2 of John Gill's great book, "Thunder on the Danube" is probably the best English language source; IIRC, we used Ian Castle's OOB (Osprey)when we designed the scenario back in 2008. The scenario I did uses half many troops as standard FoB would(i.e, one unit equals about 1200 Infantry, 800 Cavalry, or 14 – 16 guns). For Day One, that worked out to 32 Inf, 12 Cav, and 5 Arty for the French, and a whopping 71 Inf, 17 Cav, and 15 Arty for the Austria! For 28mm figures the table was 18 feet long by 6 feet wide! |

Go with the OB listed in John Gill's 2nd volume on the 1809 campaign. The book is available on Kindle or hardbound and is well worth the investment. |

Essling, in the Histoire and Collections series, has really useful stuff at the end of the book. Also includes what infantry regiments the Austrian batallions were made up from. |

There's always this link The page briefly discusses the different sources he used (Gill etc) and the different tabs give the various corps, French first, then Austrian. Cheers,
