Just loaded up part 3 of our Simple Campaign for France with a battle between the French and an invading Austrian army. The French were made up primarily of Young Guard reinforced by elements of the Middle and Old Guard. Austrians were a standard Infantry Corps of 2 line divisions and a light division or advance guard along with a few more light brigades attached and a reserve Grenadier Division attached. link

I would have thought those Young Guardsmen in closed columns would have fared better against the hussars, even in 1814. Interesting game and campaign concept. I look forward to the next posting. |

Yes they should have been safe in their nice closed columns but luckily the French commander threw really back dice and rolled for the regiments instead of per battalion. 2 bad rolls and 4 battalions were caught out of square. Then my really good roll for combat meant they were routed. |

Beautiful looking game. Are the guns one per battery? |

1 gun model per 3 or 4 guns with the number of crew repsenting the number of guns. |
