looking for some help with BP as I want to use these rules for refighting the 1805 campaign, there is lots of info out there for later campaigns ie 1812 Russian, but cant find anything for earlier Austrian, French, and Russian. Any help would be great. |

As far as individual battalions of foot and regiments of cavalry go, probably not a lot of relative difference to each other soldier to soldier – the main thing is to give your 1805 French commanders really good command values, whilst their more linear minded Austrian and Russian counterparts should have much lower stats. This should allow a smaller French force to run rings around the slower moving Coaltion troops. Although I would give the Hussars of Lasalle's 'Infernal Brigade' an extra couple of combat dice! Say 8 instead of 6… |

1805… Haven't read to much about it. I'd say the you Austrians and Prussians would just be plain old vanilla infantry with no "perks", Russians would still get their "dogged" perk. French +1 for being in column on their order rolls and may add a bonus to morale. French troops were at their peak at this time. |

Agree with navy, its the ability of the commanders more then anything that gave the french an advantage. |
