Is there a medium sized Napoleonic battle that you would recommend for it's replay value? |

Any from Chris Leach's scenario book "Fields of Glory" link Or Michael Hoppers scenario book "Rise of Eagles" link |

Define medium sized? Will depend on the rules and scale of figures used….. |

At the moment Black Powder 28. But still deciding |

Salamanca. Lots of easy ways to "mix it up" and limited forces so easy OOB to build forces for. |

There's a bunch in the LFS suppliment "A la Baionette" at the TooFatLardies site. |

For Age of Eagles: Talavera is a good one. Quartre Bras is another. Having a Corps per player is a good size for Age of Eagles. |

We have had the most fun with Quatre Bras and Marengo… Though Sacile is quite good as well. We play Volley & Bayonet. Joe Collins |

Most anything from the Peninsula Campaigns. With the possible exception of Vitoria I wouldn't call any of them "big" and all are well documented and available. |

Quarrel Bras: lots of options and the opportunity for a really big battle at the end if you over-buy… |

Sacile, 1809 Italian campaign. The battle itself is the result of circumstances lending themselves to several what-if's, and there were significant forces in the area that could have taken part and could be added into the mix. A nice balance of experience and troops types in the bargain. |

It very much depends on the rules you use, their aimed battle size. A medium sized Blücher won't be the same as a middle sized general de Brigade. |

Blucher with 28's! Tons of mid sized battles. Plus I've already got French and Russians. D6 – you have the worst case of " oh shiny" disease ever😀 |

Kulm. Lots of possibilities for different variations over the two days. What happens if the French reinforcements turn up instead of being recalled to Dresden? Is Kleist the one caught between two armies? Plenty of different allied forces potentially available. Mixed terrain. Always interesting. |
