Hi
i got Empire 5 yesterday and was just perusing it and looking at the unit details in appendix for cavalry - how come for Prussian pre-1812, there is only Towarzcy and cuirassiers? what about Hussars? they are there for 1812-1815,
am i misunderstanding something? also are there any scenarios out that have been created for empire? |

You use the same ratings for the 1812-15 5th Hussars, Leib Hussars, Other Hussars and Dragoons. Basically, this means they are the same ratings through the entire war period. |

In 1806-07, the Leib Hussars would be the 2nd v Rudorff Hussars and the 5th were the v Prittwitz Hussars. Another point on the 1806-07 Hussars they will be organized with more squadrons 10 per regiment broken into 2 Battalions. the 1812-15 strength shows 8-10 figures. The earlier organization would be more like 8-10 figures per battalion, or 16-20 per regiment. |

okay thanks -so thats not really described in the rules is it? or you just figured thats what one must do regarding the organisation |

The Revolution & Empire unit charts fix this little glitch, and I am sure that Empire 7 will too.
The Hussars and Dragoon should have been listed with "Any" for the time period of their ratings. |

okay thanks – that is good to know and super keen for E7 to be released eventually. I dont have EIII but i do have R&E in my piles of rules there – i havent done any comparison of the rules with each other yet. |
