Below is the setup of forces looking from the French with Durenstein in the foreground.

and the Russian forces with Durenstein in the background.

Great AAR and very interesting rules. Thanks for posting!

Great looking table!

Tell us more about your terrain.

The mat is printed fleece laid over foam mats. The mats are modular and allow for indented rivers. I then add layers of foam for hills. The rivers themselves are thin acetate sheet painted on one side and gloss medium gel applied to give the surface effect. vomkriegewargaming.blogspot.com/2020/04/hex-terrain-boards-part-3.html
The roads are simply fine ballast applied with a funnel. (95% of the ballast vacuums up for reuse).

Lovely looking game!

Great idea for a modular terrain board, I especially like your roads!

I see you use Warrior Miniatures. I have been thinking about using them for my 15mm Napoleonic project because you cannot beat the price. I am also getting older and I no longer have the patience, time or skill to paint every detail on highly detailed figures.

What do you think of Warrior Miniatures 15mm Napoleonic line?
Any poses or sculpts to avoid?

Thanks again!

Up until recently I've always used Essex Miniatures but I've got a current batch of Austrians from Warrior Miniatures. You're right, they are much cheaper. They are also reasonably good to paint but don't have the same definition as Essex Miniatures. Essex are much easier to get a good paint job. I'm spending ore time to get the same result on the Warrior Miniatures. So far the Austrian Grenadiers are the best of the sculpts and easiest to paint.
Like you I am only painting enough detail to get the right visual effect on the tabletop.
