In Empire III there were/are plans of initial French deployments but none for any other nation. In other books there are plans of how the Prussians of 1813-15 deployed but I've never seen such plans for the Austrians or Russians? Can anyone help. They would be so helpful when setting up a battle as a starting point or indeed for Corps/ME's when arriving and deploying after a battle has begun? |

Cheers. But does anyone know how the Austrians deployed? Did they still use Line formation during 1809-15 or were they always in battalion masses? Thanks |

George Nafziger's "Imperial Bayonets" has some useful information on unit formations and deployments. |
