Hello, Napoleon's Battles covers the French Revolution, but there are no Vendee lists in them. I was wondering if anyone knows of any army lists or has played the Vendee using the rules, and what they might suggest for army stats. Thank you. |

Good point, I've pondered over the early rev lists for some time as our group has played a lot of Napoleon's Battles. Like many rules for Napoleonics, they are a little light on the rev era coverage. |

Would NB, a brigade based system, be appropriate for actions in the Vendee? I always thought of fighting in those areas as fighting pro royal forces in a counter-counter revolution campaign. Thanks |

Kléber en Vendée (1793-1794) / documents publiés, pour la Société d'histoire does contain a list for the Revolutionary army – see pages 460 to 465. The book is on Gallica at: link
It can be downloaded by clicking the downward arrow (telechargement/impression), tick the box next to "En cochant cette casse, ….." and then press "Telecharger" |

Louie, There are some fairly large battles that were fought during the conflict. The Battles of Saumur, Coron, Vihiers, Nantes, Cholet and La Tremblaye are around 12-25,000 per side, with Tiffauges (one of the largest) having 40,000 combatants on each side. |
