Hello everyone,

For the 1809 campaign,with what good-sized cannons and limbers can I equip my 25mm MiniFig Württemberg artillerymen figures?

Thanks

Nobody plays Württemberg from the Napoleonic era?

Again they had their own but Austrian pieces were very prevalent among French allies, distributed from French arsenals after 1805.

I've been playing Wurttemburg for 40 years. I have Vandamme's 8th Corps in 25/28mm based for Empire and Ney's 3rd Corps (25th Div plus) in 15mm based for Age of Eagles.

Note:
1) the two Jager battalions only had rifles the rest smooth bore muskets
2) Wurttemburg troops were trained to fight in 2 ranks like the British. When they joined the Confederation of the Rhine they trained in French tactics and fighting in 3 ranks, but still preferred the 2 rank formation when able

Thanks for the link to Uwe's slides … I forgot having published these nice slides on my site :-)

But very valuable as I'm responsible for the whole armament (including artillery) of our planned book in 2024.
