Heres something radical to consider.I have made the decision to sell all my Napoleonic armies that I lovingly put together. They are all 6mm and based for two rule sets, Volley and Bayonet and Blucher. The V+B armies are, Russia, Britain, Spain, Saxony and the remains of the many French corps that were rebased for Blucher. The Blucher armies are the Austrians of 1809, all six+ corps and the French army of 1809 and the Imperiale Garde for the 1813 campaign. Im certain they would adapt perfectly to your game systems.

That is certainly a valid point and the later British in America and indeed, it was that particular war that has drawn me back to my Napoleonic roots so to speak.<br /><br />Assuming I ever get around to using figures then my feeling is that it would be the latter option.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-1824318832256950952019-12-02T16:34:34.484+00:002019-12-02T16:34:34.484+00:00Just bought the re-issued base game for myself as ...Just bought the re-issued base game for myself as a Christmas present , busy stickering up the blocks now .The Good Soldier Svjekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749564052124659180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-39673711836196592672019-12-02T16:05:04.690+00:002019-12-02T16:05:04.690+00:00Which campaign or 'period' is one of the b...Which campaign or 'period' is one of the biggest challenges for Napoleonics IMHO. If I had to choose, I would probably go for the Peninsular War, as the British troops could be used for the War of 1812 as well. A close second is the Danube campaign, only because we have Austrian friends and the Austrian army is a favourite of mine from the SYW through to the 1860's.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.com
