Yes, I'm aiming at gaming Borodino complete with the central part (the push of Ney and Davout on the Great Redoubt) and all the way down to Pontiatowski's southern attack. Mainly to play with the idea of a right flanking move.<br />To do this on a reasonable sized table (yet to be constructed;0)) I'd need to keep the units rather small. So regular sized cavalry is 3 bases, 6 figures total. Infantry is also 3 bases 12 figures total. I do plan to field cuirassiers as large units with 6 bases and 12 figures total, to give them the extra punch they're entitled to historically.

And yes, do give that book a try, it has a really nice narrative way of taking one through the events of 1812, and you'll certainly be inspired to pick up some of your napoleonic lead pile afterwards!<br />Also, there is a fantastic podcast "The Napoleon Bonaparte Podcast" with some 60 hrs of discussions on Napoleon's life, campaigns and achievements.

Like I wrote to someone on TMP who made the same comment; You'd want them to be histrically right after spending so much effort on them. The epaulettes were a simple brain fade as I have that in all my sources, but the pole was news, and a welcome addition to my check listen when painting future units. Thanks! <br />P.S: I didn't know that Warlord was planning more additional supplements, will keep my fingers crossed for 1812 and Russia then :0)Black Powderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811405795071310375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083471581529421888.post-2340726677571305562014-08-11T00:11:13.461-07:002014-08-11T00:11:13.461-07:00Thanks a lot Engel, appreciate it!
