I'm going to play around with Et Sans Resultat and for each formation (usually a division) it has a reform area whihc marks the unit's rear areas. I'm wondering what to put on this base to represent such an area. The base is 1.5 x 3" and I'm gaming in 6mm. The rearmost 1/2 or 3/4' of the base will be used as a fatigue tracker, so I have 2" + to fill. Caissons? Wounded? Stragglers? Just looking for inspiration…. |

Here's what I use for ESR. My figures are 6mm H&R.

[/URL] The mini dice holders are for fatigue. From the front of the base are artillery, cavalry then infantry. The dice colors or for different levels of fatigue. Green dice are 1-6 fatigues. Yellow are 7-12 and red 13-18. [URL=http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/MooseDontBounce/media/71AADB2A-5979-4652-807D-AEDD673E6540.jpg.html]

I'm doing the exact same thing. Green dice for 1-6 red dice for 7-12. |

Cantinières? They tended to be in the front lines rather than a reserve area. No money to be made there… Actually,Cantinières were often in the line of fire tending the wounded and providing that needed bit of liquid courage. |

As a general assertion, I rather doubt that. We hear about individual cases, mostly in defensive situations, probably because it was considered heroic, i.e. unusual. Your average cantinière (or cantinier) had a horse and cart for their wares, representing their sole investment, and would stay in the regiment's rear area with it. In an attack, I just can't see the brigadiers permitting cantinières to advance among their carefully aligned formations… |
